As cases have more than doubled in Louisiana over the past week, officials are bracing for the anticipated surge Omicron will likely bring to the state. Gov. Bel Edwards continues to urge residents to get vaccinated, citing state health data that finds 80 percent of patients currently hospitalized with COVID-19 are unvaccinated.
"We've been through it so many times that the telltale signs are all there," Catherine O'Neal, MD, the chief medical officer of Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, told U.S. News & World Report. "We can help to at least dampen the surge. I think it's coming, and our community has to prepare for it, but how high it gets, how painful this gets for all of our families, it depends on our community."

The latest surge of COVID cases in Georgia appears to be taking off just as it's dealing with another major issue. State health data shows that hospitalizations have risen nearly 50 percent over the past month, with more than 1,200 patients statewide.
"We are fortunate that our cases are relatively low right now in south Georgia, but based on what is happening all across the country, we do not expect that to last long," Scott Steiner, CEO of Albany, Georgia-based Phoebe Putney Health System, said in a statement on Dec 17. "We strongly encourage all eligible individuals to receive a COVID vaccine and booster shot, and please be cautious as you travel and gather over the holidays."

これから増えるのかな？
Cases have skyrocketed in New York with the emergence of the Omicron variant. Single-day case records were broken for four days in a row over the weekend and into Monday when state officials reported nearly 23,400 new infections. Region 2—designated by the CDC as New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—is also reporting a much higher Omicron case average, seeing 90 percent caused by the variant compared to the national rate of nearly 75 percent. Still, top officials maintained a positive outlook on the latest developments.
"It's not March of 2020. It's not even December of 2020. Just to keep things in perspective, it is milder than Delta," Gov. Kathy Hochul said of Omicron. "We are avoiding a government shutdown because we now have the tools available to all of us—vaccinations, booster shots, masks—particularly for the variant we're dealing with."

While California has seen highs and lows with COVID-19 over the course of the pandemic, a recent surge is causing concern for some officials about the coming weeks. The state's hospitalization rate has increased by 10 percent over the past two weeks to 3,919 as of Dec. 20, according to data from The Times.
"To prevent ourselves from getting in trouble over the holidays, we're asking everyone to take a lot of caution as you gather and celebrate," Barbara Ferrer, PhD, Director of Public Health for Los Angeles County, said during a recent briefing. "If we fail to take commonsense safety measures right now, we could find ourselves in a dangerous place by the end of the month and into January, which could dramatically impede our recovery journey."
