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.

。像不系安全带的行为，罚款可能会翻三倍。根据《政府陆路交通政策声明草案》，今年下半年起不系安全带将被处以最高450纽币的罚款，而不是现在的150纽币。新的数字被认为跟英国、澳大利亚和加拿大看齐且符合通胀现实。 Advertise with us 《草案》称系安全带可以让人们在发生严重车祸时生还几率增加一倍，但每年仍有80多名道路使用者因未系安全带而死于车祸。《草案》将对酒后驾驶和其他违规驾驶采取强硬立场—— 譬如推出路边检查站，对司机的唾液进行拭子测试打击毒驾行为。目前警方只是在怀疑嗑药后进行血检，唾液检测意味着更多司机将被临检。政府的目标是每年至少唾液测试5万名司机。又譬如增设酒精测试站，打击酒驾行为。政府的目标是每年至少进行300万次随机路边呼吸检测。酒精和毒品被认为是新西兰致死车祸的两大主要原因。 2022年，因司机酗酒或吸毒而导致车祸的死亡事故为163起，重伤事故为144起，轻伤事故为776起。只有26%的司机认为自己可能会因毒驾而被抓，只有60%的司机认为自己可能会因酒驾而被抓。更重要的是，有27%的酒后肇事司机是惯犯。总理Christopher Luxon在谈到《草案》时表示，心怀侥幸的人很多，“坦率地说这是不可接受的”。他说将斥资增加呼吸测试站点。草案称新西兰的道路违章处罚大多拟定于1999年，之后再没有进行修改，因此远低于国际水平，在罚款力度上明显不如澳大利亚、英国和加拿大。另外，如果被吊销驾照依然还开车上路，将面临更严厉的处罚和更多扣分。每年有6.7万名司机被吊销驾照，有约8700人因无照驾驶而被起诉。
