There were 11,515 confirmed Covid-19 hospitalizations in the state, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The Delta-driven surge has hit a younger population than prior surges while filling hospital beds at a rapid clip, according to the Florida Hospital Association, which represents health centers in the state. The number of Covid-19 hospitalizations in Florida jumped from 2,000 to 10,000 in 30 days during this current surge, double the pace seen last summer, said Mary Mayhew, the association’s chief executive.
“This is putting 25-year-olds in the hospital, in intensive care and on ventilators,” Ms. Mayhew said. She said the Delta surge is also coinciding with a surge in hospital visits for other reasons, including other respiratory infections and a catch-up effect from delayed care during the pandemic, adding to pressure on hospitals.
Unemployed? Get Covid.....govt will surely help you out till next election.....most of us that have a cold or no symptoms don't get tested....we have work to do and families to support.
But there is no test to see if people have the delta variant. Or is this a case of the vaccinated getting covid easier then nonvaccinated?
Biden gunning for FL and Texas with lies. I wonder why lol.
