The U.S. tallied about 15,000 reported hospitalizations of people with COVID-19 over the seven days ending Aug. 19. Though a far cry from previous totals during the pandemic, that’s a 19% increase from the week prior, continuing a climb that started at the end of June after hospitalizations reached a recent weekly low point of approximately 6,300.
Relative to population, the latest tally equates to 4.5 people per 100,000 admitted to the hospital. By state, Hawaii and Florida saw the highest rates of new COVID-19 hospitalizations, at 9.8 and 9.7 per 100,000, respectively – more than twice the national rate. Louisiana (6.6), Alabama (6.5) and Mississippi (6.5) had the next-highest rates.
Among patients visiting emergency departments, 1.9% were diagnosed with COVID-19 nationally. Hawaii and the southeastern states of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Louisiana saw shares higher than 3%.
Seven counties were described by the CDC as having a “high” level of COVID-19 hospital admissions, with rates of 20 per 100,000 or higher. Several counties in Mississippi – Noxubee, Lowndes, and Clay – as well as Lamar County, Alabama, were reported to have seen 26.4 new hospitalizations per 100,000 people. Another 117 counties were said to have a “medium” level of COVID-19 hospital admissions – with rates between 10.0 and 19.9 per 100,000 people.
Notably, the CDC’s county hospital admission figures are calculated at the Health Service Area level, which can span multiple counties. This means counties within the same HSA will share the same admission rates in the data.
The counties with the highest rates of COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people were:
- Lamar County, Alabama - 26.4
- Clay County, Mississippi - 26.4
- Lowndes County, Mississippi - 26.4
- Noxubee County, Mississippi - 26.4
- Fisher County, Texas - 25.8
- Mitchell County, Texas - 25.8
- Nolan County, Texas - 25.8
- Jefferson County, Georgia - 19.6
- Washington County, Georgia - 19.6
- Claiborne Parish, Louisiana - 19.1
- Fillmore County, Nebraska - 19.1
- Thayer County, Nebraska - 19.1
- Stevens County, Kansas - 18.2
- Furnas County, Nebraska - 17.6
- Harlan County, Nebraska - 17.6
- Phelps County, Nebraska - 17.6
- Rutland County, Vermont - 17.2
- Foard County, Texas - 16.8
- Hardeman County, Texas - 16.8
- Wilbarger County, Texas - 16.8
Because hospitalization rates are calculated per 100,000 people, it’s worth noting that even a relatively small number of hospitalizations in a small community can lead to a higher hospitalization rate.
Other measures also can give a sense of the current state of COVID-19. Though the CDC has ceased publishing a "community level" metric that incorporated COVID-19 case rates and hospital admissions – as well as the average percentage of hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients – health departments can submit the results of their sampling of wastewater for the virus to the CDC via the National Wastewater Surveillance System.
Since the U.S. passed 1 million cumulative deaths tied to COVID-19 in the spring of 2022, more than 138,000 additional people have died in connection with the disease, according to provisional data from the CDC.
While the latest tallies are down from a recent peak of about 3,900 deaths in a week in January – and well below the maximum peak of around 26,000 deaths per week in early 2021 – data indicates hundreds of people have died in connection with COVID-19 of late. Maryland and Florida each saw 3.4% of their total deaths attributed to COVID-19 during the week ending Aug. 19, doubling the national percentage.
。 Rome, Oct 22 (UNI) The new Italian government formed by appointed Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was officially sworn in at the presidential Palace on Saturday.Meloni had been formally appointed and accepted the mandate on Friday, after being summoned by President Sergio Mattarella at the end of his short round of consultations with all parties' leaders in parliament.
If Meloni and her cabinet pass confidence vote at the parliament, she will serve as the country's first female prime minister ever.
Italy held a snap general election on Sept. 25, following the resignation of Mario Draghi as prime minister in July, which put an end to a government of national unity that led the country for some 17 months.
Meloni -- the leader of right-wing Brothers of Italy -- was asked to form the new government after her party won 26 percent of votes in the recent polls, ending up as the most voted force.
She had run the campaign with her two coalition allies, the center-right Forza Italia party of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and the anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic League led by Matteo Salvini, both of which gained a little over 8 percent of the votes.
As such, the right-wing coalition marked a clear victory and, with the current mainly first-past-the-post electoral system, was able to secure a solid majority of seats in both the chambers of the Italian parliament.
The swearing ceremony took place at the Quirinal presidential palace on Saturday morning.
Overall, Brothers of Italy named 9 ministers in the cabinet, while League and Forza Italia 5 ministers each. Further 5 cabinet posts will be covered by technocrat figures.
Now, after being officially sworn in, the cabinet will need the confidence of both the Lower House and the Senate in order to enter into force. The voting will take place on two separate days next week.
The new cabinet would count 24 ministers, including some key figures. These include Giancarlo Giorgietti, who would serve as Economy and Finance minister after being Industry minister in the previous cabinet, and Antonio Tajani as next minister of Foreign Affairs and as one of the two deputy prime ministers named by Meloni.
League's leader Matteo Salvini will serve as minister of Infrastructure, and as deputy prime minister as well. Matteo Piantedosi, a former chief of staff to Salvini, will be the next Interior minister, while Aldolfo Urso and Guido Crosetto -- both from Meloni's Brothers of Italy -- would serve as Industry minister and Defence minister, respectively.
