With the Delta variant driving a surge in COVID-19 infections, accounting for more than 90% of new cases across the U.S., health officials warn the threat of the contagious variant is "serious" as infected patients crowd hospital beds in hard-hit regions.
“I cannot emphasize enough how serious this situation is,” Dr. Elizabeth Clayborne, emergency physician at UM Capital Region Medical Center, told Yahoo Finance Live, referring to the Delta variant. “This is a wake-up call for everyone in the country regardless of where they live.”
The daily average case count rose above 96,000 on Wednesday, about a 130% jump over the past two weeks, according to data compiled by the New York Times. And the daily average number of deaths are on the rise as well, climbing 65% in the past 14 days to 410, but still only a fraction of the total reported during the winter peak.

As it stands now, Florida and Texas account for about a third of new cases across the country. Texas recorded more than 15,000 new COVID-19 cases Wednesday, its highest one-day total in six months, according to state data. Meanwhile, the Florida Hospital Association reported more than 17,000 new COVID-19 cases in the state and 11,515 COVID-19 patients hospitalized as of Wednesday, with 86% of inpatient ICU beds in use.
But it’s not just Florida and Texas that are seeing a rapid rise in cases fueled by the Delta Variant. States including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma and South Carolina have seen confirmed COVID-19 cases jump more than 100% in the past two weeks.
