With the delta variant of the coronavirus becoming the dominant strain recently, the severity of the coronavirus has also increased and the number of people contracting COVID-19 has intensified greatly over the last several weeks.

According to KHOU, the number of cases that have come in lately in Houston has rapidly risen. A staff memo went out to employees at Houston Methodist recently that details the growing numbers:

97 percent of COVID cases in its 8 hospitals from the Delta variant
42 percent of hospitalizations between the ages of 25 and 50
82 percent of its COVID patients are unvaccinated

“The vaccination prevents severe illness, prevents hospitalization, and again, we want to make sure our hospitals and ERs are open,” Dr. Saldaña said.
