It's a milestone last seen during the surge in cases this past fall and winter.
The U.S. is now averaging 100,000 new COVID-19 infections a day, returning to a milestone last seen during the winter surge in yet another bleak reminder of how quickly the delta variant has spread through the country.It took the U.S. about nine months to cross the 100,000 average case number in November before peaking at about 250,000 in early January.
Health officials are fearful that cases will continue to soar if more Americans don’t embrace the vaccine. The number of Americans hospitalized with the virus has also skyrocketed and it has gotten so bad that many hospitals are scrambling to find beds for patients in far-off locations. Dr. David Persse, who is health authority for the Houston Health Department and EMS medical director, said some ambulances were waiting hours to offload patients at Houston area hospitals because no beds were available. Persse said he feared this would lead to prolonged respond times to 911 medical calls.
