'I do still think this winter will probably see similar scenarios to what we saw in parts of the southeastern U.S. this summer,' said research fellow Stephen Kissler.
Less than two months ago, the South found itself inundated with new COVID cases. Six southern states saw their intensive care units reach over 90 percent capacity as the infectious Delta variant spread across the United States.
However, over the past two weeks these states—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas—have all seen their caseloads dip by at least 30 percent, with hospitalizations dropping by at least 22 percent, according toThis trend toward a decline in severe COVID cases has spread throughout the country with America posting a 26 percent drop in daily COVID cases over the past 14 days and a 17 percent drop in hospitalizations.
Some researchers have said they are worried that unvaccinated older people could be the most at risk which would potentially precipitate a rise in hospitalizations. Members of the medical staff treat a patient who is wearing helmet-based ventilator in the COVID-19 intensive care unit at the United Memorial Medical Center on July 28, 2020 in Houston, Texas.
Similarly, these states made up the bulk of rising hospitalizations. Maine , Pennsylvania , North Dakota , Montana , Vermont , West Virginia , Wisconsin , Minnesota , Michigan , Ohio , Idaho , Iowa , Rhode Island , New Hampshire , Wyoming , Utah Nebraska , and Colorado all saw hospitalizations rise.
