U.S. COVID-19 Hospitalizations See a Nearly 22% Increase_我的网站

A |

New weekly COVID-19 hospitalizations increased more than 20% in early August, according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The week ending in Aug. 12 saw more than 12,600 new coronavirus hospital admissions – a jump of nearly 22% of the previous week.

While hospitalizations are not close to previous peaks during other COVID-19 surges, it’s still the first wave since winter. Experts say the summer increase isn’t a surprise but that it should be a wake-up call to treat the virus seriously before winter rolls around.

The vast majority of U.S. counties are documenting a “low” level of new COVID-19 hospital admissions. Less than 3% of counties are seeing a “medium” level, according to CDC data. None are experiencing a “high” level of admissions.

The CDC no longer tracks COVID-19 infections, but researchers say the spread is likely significant given the increase in hospitalizations. Deaths, which tend to lag behind hospitalizations, have not yet shown a similar increase.

EG.5, or “eris,” is the most prominent coronavirus strain circulating in the U.S. It’s responsible for more than 20% of new infections in recent weeks, according to CDC data.

Another new strain – BA.2.86 – prompted quick reactions from the CDC and the World Health Organization last week. The strain, which has over 30 mutations, is not common enough to make it onto CDC’s variant tracker, but it has been found in very small numbers in the U.S., the U.K., Denmark and Israel.

A CDC spokeswoman told U.S. News in a statement that “scientists are working now to understand more about the newly identified lineage and we will share more information as it becomes available.”

B | On 11 May 1970, Bombay (now Mumbai) saw the stars of Hindi cinema gather to celebrate films from 1969 at the 17th Filmfare Awards. Amongst the biggest winners that night was Aradhana, a romantic drama directed by Shakti Samanta. On Sharmila Tagore's birthday, we look back at the iconic wins of the movie, including Sharmila Tagore's win in the Best Actress category. Aradhana was released on 7 November 1969 in Hindi. It starred Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles. The story mixes romance, sacrifice, identity, and strong emotions. Vandana (Sharmila Tagore) falls in love with Arun (Rajesh Khanna), who is an Air Force pilot. After Arun’s death in a crash, Vandana must face stigma, raise her son against odds, even when forced to give him up. She then becomes his caretaker later in life without revealing she is his mother. Over time, the film shows her silent strength and love. At the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana led the nominations with 9 nods. It won Best Film, and Sharmila Tagore won her first (and only) Best Actress award for her role as Vandana. Meanwhile, Rajesh Khanna was nominated for Best Actor for Aradhana, but the award went to Ashok Kumar for Aashirwad.

Aradhana also gained praise for its music: songs like Mere Sapno Ki Rani became iconic. The film quickly became a blockbuster, not just in India, but also in the Soviet Union. It marked the rise of Rajesh Khanna as a superstar, and it firmly established Sharmila Tagore’s status among leading actresses. Looking back to the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana remains a landmark, not just for awards, but for stories that touch the heart. As Filmfare returns with new celebrations, it’s worth remembering how films like Aradhana shaped the legacy, melding romance, strength, music, and unforgettable performances.
