Opinion: It’s long past time for a more comprehensive Covid treatment approach
Because Covid cases and hospitalizations are no longer front-page news, many Americans might be surprised to learn that we are in the midst of a mini-surge.
The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from Aug. 12, confirm a 21.6% increase in Covid-19 hospitalizations from the prior week and a 21.4% increase in Covid-related deaths, demonstrating that Covid is not over and that Latinos and Blacks have reason to be concerned.
