The Black Coalition Against COVID released data this week saying hospitalization rates for black Americans peaked at the highest it’s been since the start of the pandemic.
An infectious disease expert said this subvariant isn’t showing to be a more severe version of the virus, which is good news for everyone.Reports say this is a big help in fighting future forms of the virus, such as the omicron subvariant BA2.“In terms of the number of people that we’re seeing, daily cases is about 4.2 per 100,000,” Reza said. “And that was in the hundreds couple of months ago, just not that long ago. So we’re on the down peak right now of this whole omicron variant infection.
The Black Coalition Against COVID released a two-year assessment saying hospitalization rates for black Americans in January were the highest it’s been since the start of the pandemic.Cases and hospitalizations were significantly higher compared to white Americans. “This is a thing that we’ve seen with other viruses, as we saw with COVID,” Reza said. “More so initially during the initial surges of the pandemic, so right now across the board, the numbers are a lot lower, but getting people to get vaccinated if they’re at higher risk, getting people to use those precautions as preventative measures that we know now that work is really the utmost importance.
