Although hospitalizations nationwide have been trending downward since September, more than 40,000 people remain hospitalized with COVID-19.
America's starting to see cases and deaths tick downward after the Delta variant wreaked havoc across the country, but the country continues to lead in devastation from the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the end of August, America saw a 3.38 percent increase in cases from the previous week, an increase not seen since February, according to data from the WHO. Believed to be more transmissible than other variants, Delta helped fuel surges across the country, pushing hospitals to their breaking points.
Some still remain hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and while the hope is that restrictions on unvaccinated people's lives will sway people to get the shot, some have opted to lose their jobs instead of getting vaccinated.
