Omicron Is Draining Hospitals And Its Peak Still Isn't Here

Models predict Omicron's surge will peak between Jan. 19 and 27 with hospitalizations around 273,000 - 350,000 people.

New COVID cases continue to spike as hospitals across the country struggle to keep up with a surge of their own.  

"It is horrible to say that when a small community hospital says, 'I need your help. I have a patient here I can't handle.' We may not have the capacity to do that," said Dr. Jeff Fischgrund, Clinical Services Chief of Beaumont Health System.

Hospitalizations have more than doubled in two weeks.
