Health officials across North Texas are optimistic we may soon be over the hump in terms of new COVID cases. The state’s positivity rate has declined for three days in a row since Friday. But hospitalizations aren’t showing any sign of going down yet.
After a brief decline on Monday, they shot up again Tuesday. But when compared to the sheer number of new cases, it could be worse.
That may be attributed, in part, to the fact that more vaccinated people are getting infected, and they’re still less likely to get sick enough for the hospital. "It seems to reside mostly in the upper respiratory area of the human body, and it doesn't do it that well," he said. "I’m still seeing that the number of deaths are predominantly due to delta. But we won't see in the long term yet how many deaths were attributed to omicron."Health officials are looking to other states while trying to gauge when the omicron surge will peak.
