are continuing to increase in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"We have to remember that we're still dealing with numbers that are far less than what we've seen for the pandemic," said Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital. "We have to zoom out to look at our experience for the entire pandemic, to understand that what we're dealing with now is far from any crisis that we've experienced with previous waves.
"Proportionately, it makes sense that when you have increased transmission, you will see proportionately some increase in hospitalizations, and you will see some increase in deaths," Brownstein said. "But there's a decoupling that is happening between cases and hospitalizations, where a jump in cases doesn't necessarily mean as big a jump in hospitalizations and deaths.
"It doesn't mean that we shouldn't be vigilant about COVID," he said. "It also doesn't mean that we shouldn't look for opportunities to reduce our personal risk, and to make sure that we're, up to date on immunizations. But this is more likely going to be you know, what we'll experience going forward with COVID."
