The U.S. tallied about 15,000 reported hospitalizations of people with COVID-19 over the seven days ending Aug. 19. Though a far cry from previous totals during the pandemic, that’s a 19% increase from the week prior, continuing a climb that started at the end of June after hospitalizations reached a recent weekly low point of approximately 6,300.
Relative to population, the latest tally equates to 4.5 people per 100,000 admitted to the hospital. By state, Hawaii and Florida saw the highest rates of new COVID-19 hospitalizations, at 9.8 and 9.7 per 100,000, respectively – more than twice the national rate. Louisiana (6.6), Alabama (6.5) and Mississippi (6.5) had the next-highest rates.
Among patients visiting emergency departments, 1.9% were diagnosed with COVID-19 nationally. Hawaii and the southeastern states of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Louisiana saw shares higher than 3%.
Seven counties were described by the CDC as having a “high” level of COVID-19 hospital admissions, with rates of 20 per 100,000 or higher. Several counties in Mississippi – Noxubee, Lowndes, and Clay – as well as Lamar County, Alabama, were reported to have seen 26.4 new hospitalizations per 100,000 people. Another 117 counties were said to have a “medium” level of COVID-19 hospital admissions – with rates between 10.0 and 19.9 per 100,000 people.
Notably, the CDC’s county hospital admission figures are calculated at the Health Service Area level, which can span multiple counties. This means counties within the same HSA will share the same admission rates in the data.
The counties with the highest rates of COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people were:
Lamar County, Alabama - 26.4
Clay County, Mississippi - 26.4
Lowndes County, Mississippi - 26.4
Noxubee County, Mississippi - 26.4
Fisher County, Texas - 25.8
Mitchell County, Texas - 25.8
Nolan County, Texas - 25.8
Jefferson County, Georgia - 19.6
Washington County, Georgia - 19.6
Claiborne Parish, Louisiana - 19.1
Fillmore County, Nebraska - 19.1
Thayer County, Nebraska - 19.1
Stevens County, Kansas - 18.2
Furnas County, Nebraska - 17.6
Harlan County, Nebraska - 17.6
Phelps County, Nebraska - 17.6
Rutland County, Vermont - 17.2
Foard County, Texas - 16.8
Hardeman County, Texas - 16.8
Wilbarger County, Texas - 16.8
Because hospitalization rates are calculated per 100,000 people, it’s worth noting that even a relatively small number of hospitalizations in a small community can lead to a higher hospitalization rate.
Other measures also can give a sense of the current state of COVID-19. Though the CDC has ceased publishing a "community level" metric that incorporated COVID-19 case rates and hospital admissions – as well as the average percentage of hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients – health departments can submit the results of their sampling of wastewater for the virus to the CDC via the National Wastewater Surveillance System.
Since the U.S. passed 1 million cumulative deaths tied to COVID-19 in the spring of 2022, more than 138,000 additional people have died in connection with the disease, according to provisional data from the CDC.
While the latest tallies are down from a recent peak of about 3,900 deaths in a week in January – and well below the maximum peak of around 26,000 deaths per week in early 2021 – data indicates hundreds of people have died in connection with COVID-19 of late. Maryland and Florida each saw 3.4% of their total deaths attributed to COVID-19 during the week ending Aug. 19, doubling the national percentage.
E | 这项运动早在2003年就被引入国内，一直不温不火，直到今年走进大众视野，强大的社交属性是迅速“黏合”爱好者的关键。“腰旗橄榄球需要队友之间及时沟通和分工合作。俱乐部组织的新手场每次30人，活动两个小时，队友之间就能有一个基本了解，特别提升团队凝聚力。” 孙墨文说。依托于社群和俱乐部，满足寻找新鲜运动体验和线下社交的双重需求，成为项目推广的独特抓手。在业内人士看来，当参与者找到有着相同生活方式的同伴，形成强烈的认同感，便更愿意为这项运动持续投入时间和精力。80后小伙金鑫在上海从事金融行业，去年10月加入一家腰旗橄榄球俱乐部，见证了俱乐部成员人数翻番的迅速成长。“我在腰旗橄榄球活动中认识了一些志同道合的伙伴，后来在工作中也有愉快合作。”金鑫表示，在运动场上的交往更加纯粹，兴趣爱好的一致缩短了社交距离。数据显示，目前国内腰旗橄榄球社群、社团约有45家，社区机构和校外培训机构约有150家。相比于足球、篮球等传统运动，游戏感更强、男女混合组队的新兴运动更能满足青年群体的需求，即便是新手也能迅速融入团队。
F | 正如有人评价，飞盘、腰旗橄榄球既有运动价值，更给人带来情绪价值和社交价值。线上推广形成社群互动今年4月，天津姑娘赵欣佳在朋友的带领下，第一次接触到腰旗橄榄球。“这项运动没有冲撞，就算跑不快跳不高也没关系，可以用灵活性来跑位进攻。”如今，她已经成了俱乐部里的活跃分子，每周都会下场打几局。
G | 让赵欣佳对腰旗橄榄球着迷的另一原因是线上分享。每次活动结束后，她都会在社交平台发布运动笔记，用照片和视频记录自己的进步。“我也会翻看其他人的运动笔记，彼此交流经验。腰旗橄榄球讲究战略和配合，有很多学习和进阶的空间。”感受到参与者的线上分享需求，很多俱乐部纷纷引入跟拍业务。孙墨文组织腰旗橄榄球活动时，每次都会邀请专业摄影师，现场抓拍几百张照片，再将素材制作成相册和视频供大家下载。爱好者在线上的广泛传播，无异于天然的广告。“有很多新手就是通过社交平台推送，被俱乐部活动照片吸引前来报名的。”孙墨文说，这也推动俱乐部更精心打造自己的品牌。
H | 新兴运动带有鲜明的潮流标签，契合当代年轻人对时尚和个性的追求。
I | 年轻用户聚集的线上平台因此成为“孵化”小众项目的最佳载体。打开生活社交平台小红书，“飞盘”的相关搜索量比去年同期增长约24倍，“腰旗橄榄球”的原创内容也在今年3月后迎来快速增长。业内人士普遍认为，近年来大众对户外运动的热情越发高涨，给予了小众项目快速发展的土壤。梳理这一过程，线上推广的巨大助力清晰可见：通过线上分享引发社群互动，推动潜在用户参与线下体验，再激发更多线上分享，从而在青年群体中形成集聚效应和正向循环。市场拓展激发消费潜力小众运动走向大众，也为健身市场拓展出一片蓝海。尽管这门“小而美”的生意刚刚迈出探索的第一步，但已有很多人看到其背后的消费潜力。参加两小时活动60—80元、橄榄球手套150—300元，再加上护齿牙套100元左右，这就是金鑫参加腰旗橄榄球活动的花费，“一般爱好者穿普通运动服和运动鞋也可以，较低的消费门槛也是新手愿意尝试这项运动的原因”。在俱乐部层面，组织一场活动包含订场地、新手培训、饮用水、摄影等费用。
K | ”孙墨文说。尽管从现阶段看，新兴运动尚未催生出成熟的商业模式和产业链条，但金鑫看好参与群体的消费潜力：“这些健身达人有商业价值，充分耕耘可以挖掘出很多机会，比如赛事组织、体育旅游、运动品牌推广等。”据悉，上海的一些腰旗橄榄球俱乐部已经开始实现盈利。
L | 让大众参与常态化，让资深爱好者专业化，最终让项目赛事化，被视为新兴运动走得更远的关键。清华大学体育产业发展研究中心主任王雪莉说：“对体育运动参与者来说，有了场地和活动，让他们动起来，体育用品和体育服务的消费自然会随之增加。”让业内人欣喜的是，在日前颁布的《义务教育课程方案和课程标准（2022年版）》中，“极限飞盘”作为时尚运动类项目入选。而腰旗橄榄球如今在上海已有较为成熟的中学联赛。“新兴运动进校园，会给器材研发、教练培训、人才储备、消费习惯养成等带来利好。尤其是青少年，如果从小就开始玩一项运动，多半会一直玩下去。”全国飞盘运动推广委员会副秘书长薛志行说。（记者 李硕 陶相安）
