Los Angeles Experiencing “Alarming Increase” In Covid Hospitalizations, With 8% Of Everyone Infected Requiring Admission
County residents being hospitalized due to the virus has begun rising at an equivalent rate of new cases, while the rate of people dying is also creeping higher, according to figures released today.
During the month of July, vaccinated residents represented just 13% of people hospitalized with the virus. While that’s still a small portion of the total, it’s up from 10% shortly before that. One reason: breakthrough infections among the vaccinated. Another reason, according to Ferrer, is that the proportion of those vaccinated is becoming a larger and larger share of the total population, so there is a greater pool of vaccinated people to be infected.
She added, “Trendlines like these are why we feel so certain the vaccines are doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing here in L.A. County. Vaccinated people are exceptionally well protected from hospitalization. Although we have seen cases rise among vaccinated people and hospitalizations rise, it is hard to even draw a comparison between the experience they have with Covid and the severe illness the infection continues to cause among those unvaccinated.
The county reported another 23 deaths due to COVID-19 on Thursday, lifting the county’s death toll to 24,854. Another 3,865 cases were reported, giving the county a cumulative total from throughout the pandemic of 1,339,138.
