Alabama COVID Hospitalizations Jump 400 Percent as Governor Fumes About 'Unvaccinated Folks'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The number of COVID-19 patients in Alabama hospitals has risen by more than 400 percent in the last three weeks, amid criticisms from Republican Governor Kay Ivey that unvaccinated people are to blame for the state's latest outbreak.

As of Monday, there were at least 916 coronavirus patients in state hospitals, up from 179 at the beginning of July. That marks a 411 percent increase in just over three weeks, and the highest rate of hospitalization since February, WSFA reported.

The seven-day average of daily new cases in Alabama has also tripled over the last two weeks, rising from 472 new cases a day on July 10 to 1,495 on Saturday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

In the past 24 hours, the state has recorded 1,536 new cases. As of Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that nearly every county in Alabama is now listed as having "high" levels of community transmission.

You can't fix stupid, but it can make you sick.
