【For the first time in more than a month, the number of hospitalized patients with new crown pneumonia in the United States is less than 100,000 people]

On February 9, local time, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 99,925 people in the United States are currently hospitalized for infection with the new crown virus, down 38% from the peak of more than 160,000 people three weeks ago. For the first time in more than a month, the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States is less than 100,000.

According to the latest data, about one-seventh of the hospital beds in the United States are currently used to treat COVID-19 patients, and about 18,000 COVID-19 patients in the United States are admitted to intensive care units.

Currently, West Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama have the highest COVID-19 hospitalization rates, with an average of more than 50 out of every 100,000 residents hospitalized for COVID-19, and Vermont and New Hampshire have the lowest hospitalization rates, with an average of less than 15 out of 100,000 residents hospitalized for COVID-19.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in December last year, unvaccinated adults with COVID-19 in the United States were hospitalized 16 times more often than vaccinated adults. In older adults aged 65 years and older, the hospitalization rate for unvaccinated patients is 51 times higher than that of COVID-19 patients who have been fully vaccinated and injected with booster needles.
