Dozens of states have seen COVID hospitalizations go up in the past week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The surge in new cases almost all are related to the Delta Variant which still accounts for more than 99% of all new cases.
As cases increase, hospitals like Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Pennsylvania, are being overwhelmed.
Parts of the West are under excessive heat warnings and officials say multiple record-high temperatures are expected – with some areas already reaching them. Temperatures will only get hotter on Thursday, which was expected to be the hottest day of the heat wave for most areas and the weekend is expected to be 10 to 15 degrees above normal, according to the The National Weather Service Las Vegas.
