Projections by the University of Texas show COVID hospitalizations this month could be 2.6x higher than 2021's peak.
Researchers analyzed optimistic and pessimistic scenarios to project the future of Omicron cases, hospitalizations and death.Without mitigation efforts, UT modelers project that COVID cases across the country could be 3.3% higher than in 2021. A milder surge with mitigation efforts could peak on Jan. 13 and reach hospitalization levels that are still 1.2 times higher than in January 2021.
"The bad news is that even the optimistic scenario expects that the hospitalization will exceed the record numbers," Bouchnita said."I'm not saying it's too late, but the effects or the impacts will be a little bit less than if mitigation were adopted as soon as Omicron arrived," Bouchnita added.The Austin area reported that 14.6% of its beds were occupied, meaning that roughly 600 COVID patients are receiving care in the area's 4,124 available beds.
