"Comparing the Current COVID Surge to Previous Spikes Across 34 States"
TL;DR
COVID-19 cases are on the rise in the U.S., with hospital admissions increasing by 20 percent in the most recent week. Wastewater surveillance data shows higher virus levels, and the dominant Omicron JN.1 subvariant is causing 61.6 percent of cases. Only 21.4 percent of adults have received the updated COVID-19 shot. Health experts expect elevated viral activity to continue through January, with the CDC advising precautions for high-risk individuals in counties with medium or high hospital admission rates.
