U.S. COVID-19 Hospitalizations Increase for 6th Straight Week_我的网站

Coronavirus hospitalizations in the U.S. are increasing with no sign of slowing.
The week ending Aug. 19 saw more than 15,000 new COVID-19 hospital admissions, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s nearly a 19% increase over the previous week and the sixth straight week of growing numbers.
The summer increase remains small compared to previous coronavirus waves in the U.S. Still, it is the first time since winter that the country has experienced growing COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, and new coronavirus variants have caught the attention of officials.
EG.5, or “eris,” is now the dominant strain circulating in the U.S. It was responsible for more than 20% of new infections in recent weeks, according to CDC data.
The World Health Organization has designated EG.5 a “variant of interest” after it displayed a steady increase globally.
The organization assessed EG.5’s public health risk as “low at the global level,” which is the same designation as the so-called “arcturus” strain.
However, WHO warned that “due to its growth advantage and immune escape characteristics, EG.5 may cause a rise in case incidence and become dominant in some countries or even globally.”
Another new strain, BA.2.86, has been documented in the U.S. Details on the highly mutated strain are scarce, but researchers are watching it closely.
The CDC said in a risk assessment of BA.2.86 that it is likely not responsible for the current rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations and that it is too soon to know the new strain’s transmissibility or severity.
。 The makers had previously announced Deepika Padukone's exit from Kalki 2. Ever since, fans have been curious to know whether any other actor would replace Deepika and step in her shoes. While the makers haven't confirmed it yet, reports state that Priyanka Chopra might be offered the role. Other actresses, including Alia Bhatt, Anushka Shetty and Sai Pallavi have also been said to be contenders for the role.
Reports also claim that Priyanka is being considered for the role for her strong global presence. However, neither the actress nor her team has commented on the speculations.The makers had shared an official statement, opening up about Deepika's exit. "This is to officially announce that @deepikapadukone will not be a part of the upcoming sequel of #Kalki2898AD. After careful consideration, We have decided to part ways. Despite the long journey of making the first film, we were unable to find a partnership. And a film like @Kalki2898AD deserves that commitment and much more. We wish her the best with her future works," it read.In a Harper's Bazaar interview, Deepika had opened up about how big-budget movies do not excite her as a professional. She said, "Because honestly, how much more fame, how much more success, how much more money? At this stage, it’s not about that anymore. It’s not about the Rs100-crore films, or even the Rs500- Rs600 crore ones." She further added, "And that doesn’t excite me anymore. What excites me is empowering other talent. My team and I are now focused on that—enabling storytelling and supporting other creative minds, writers, directors, and even new producers. That’s what feels meaningful to me now."
On the professional front, Priyanka is gearing up for the release of SS Rajamouli's Varanasi.
