Nationwide, COVID-related hospitalizations are up 12% in the last week of available data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But in some U.S. counties, the situation is dramatically worse. The CDC considers COVID-19 hospitalizations to be "medium" in 17 counties around the country. That means between 10 and 19.9 people are hospitalized with the virus for every 100,000 residents. CDC predicts late summer COVID wave. What are levels like in Austin?
