While positive case numbers continue to climb nationwide in the midst of the winter surge of COVID-19, some health experts believe we are nearing the peak, as hospitalization rates in Orange County stabilize for the first time in nearly a month.
Orange County health officials expressed cautious optimism on Thursday, as both case numbers and hospitalizations in the region appear to be stabilizing over recent days.
They’ve also experienced quite the dip in cases – nearly 2,700 less – from 11,092 to 8,440 from Thursday to Wednesday. Orange County Health Care Agency disclosed on Thursday that 19.2% of the region’s hospital beds are available, along with 63% of its ventilators. Other experts aren’t as hopeful, including Orange County CEO Frank Kim, who on Wednesday said, “You can look at the data in two different ways. We continue to see increases in daily positivity and case numbers, but that is also a function of increased testing. I also think that’s underreported because so many individuals have access to rapid testing.
