COVID-19 hospitalizations tumble among our most elderly

COVID-19 hospitalizations tumble among our most elderly Associated Press Spanish WASHINGTON (April 22, 2021) COVID-19 hospitalizations among older Americans have plunged more than 70% since the start of the year, and deaths among them appear to have tumbled as well, which some say is evidence the vaccination campaign is working. The drop-off in severe cases among Americans 65 and older is especially encouraging because senior citizens have accounted for about 8 out of 10 deaths from the virus since it hit the U.S., where the toll stands at about 570,000.  COVID-19 deaths among people of all ages in the U.S. have plummeted, too, to about 700 per day on average compared with a peak of over 3,400 in mid-January.

COVID-19 hospitalizations among seniors drop | firstcoastnews com

The best available data suggests COVID-19 deaths among Americans 65 and older have declined more than 50% since their peak in January. The picture is not entirely clear because the most recent data on deaths by age from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is incomplete and subject to revision. Still, the figures suggest that the fall in deaths among senior citizens is driving the overall decline in lives lost to COVID-19, vindicating the U.S. strategy of putting elderly people at or near the front of the line for shots when the vaccine became available over the winter.
