- With the coronavirus still spreading across the country, hospitalizations in the U.S. are at a record level.
- Health experts warn that the pandemic is likely to get even worse in January due to Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations.
- One positive is that some states, such as Iowa and Minnesota, have seen their coronavirus infection rates drop drastically.
Despite all of the well-deserved optimism surrounding the rollout of coronavirus vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, the reality is that we're still a long way from putting the coronavirus behind us. Even if we assume that a majority of Americans opt to take a vaccine -- which is required to achieve herd immunity -- it's going to take some time for Pfizer and Moderna to manufacture a sufficient number of doses. In a best-case scenario, the White House said that every American should have access to a coronavirus vaccine by June.
In the interim, the coronavirus is still spreading and, in turn, is putting a serious strain on hospitals across the country. As it stands now, the U.S. is seeing an average of 2,250 coronavirus-related deaths per day, a figure which is 5x higher than the death rate back in July. What's more, hospitalizations are skyrocketing at a level we haven't seen since the pandemic began. Across the country -- and in California and Texas in particular -- ICUs in hospitals are operating at full or near-capacity.
