South Africa identifies new coronavirus variants


Good morning, America

Why are coronavirus cases and hospitalizations increasing in the United States?

With coronavirus infection rates rising again, many Americans are wondering why the United States is experiencing a surge in cases and hospitalizations again, despite widespread vaccination. The United States currently reports over 94,000 new COVID-19 cases daily, an increase of 47% since late October. Experts say that more than 100 million Americans remain completely unvaccinated, cold weather and relaxed restrictions, highly contagious delta variants, and a decline in vaccine immunity. It is likely that it is driving an increase in recent infections.
