For nearly a month, COVID-19 hospitalizations have been increasing following weeks of decline and relatively low levels throughout the summer, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As of Nov. 25, there were 19,444 weekly hospitalizations due to the virus compared to 15,006 four weeks earlier, data shows.
While this marks an increase of 29.6%, it is lower than the 150,650 weekly hospitalizations at the peak of the omicron wave during the 2021-22 season.
Rates of COVID hospitalizations remain elevated among senior citizens, middle-aged adults and children under age 4, meaning the virus is affecting both the oldest and youngest Americans.
I finally caught it. I have all my shots including the latest and greatest booster, but after 3 years I finally got it.
It sucks. My symptoms were weirdly delayed. I felt sick (achy), then I got a really bad fever, slight sore throat, headache, and sneezed a bunch. But I didn’t have a cough or congestion at all. Fast forward 8-9 days later, I’m starting to feel fine, hadn’t had a fever since day 2-3…all the suddent I’m super congested, started coughing, lose my sense of smell and taste and felt kind shit again. No fever again but it has been a wild sickness. The doctor says it’s just running it’s course and that I’m not contagious anymore but it feels weird to not mask when I’m coughing and sneezing.
