Covid-19 hospitalizations in the US have surpassed Delta September peak, HHS data shows

"Covid-19 hospitalizations in the United States have surpassed September's peak during the Delta surge and are quickly approaching the record high from last year, according to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

There are nearly 113,000 people currently hospitalized with Covid-19 - jumping nearly 10,000 since Monday. During the Delta surge over the summer, Covid-19 hospitalizations peaked at about 104,000 on Sept. 1, 2021.

Hospitalizations reached a record high about a year ago, with more than 142,000 people hospitalized with Covid-19 on Jan. 14, 2021. Current hospitalizations are nearly 80% of the way to that peak.

There have been only 43 days since the beginning of the pandemic that there have been more than 110,000 people hospitalized with Covid-19 at one time, HHS data shows.

There have been about 3.7 million total hospital admissions for Covid-19 since August 2020, and there were about 13,000 new admissions each day over the last week of December, according to data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
