Why are there so many hospitalizations for covid all of a sudden?

There are several reasons for the recent surge in hospitalizations for COVID-19. The variant strains of the virus are more contagious, leading to larger and faster-spreading outbreaks. In addition, many people are unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated, leaving them more susceptible to serious illness. Another factor is the sheer number of people who contract the virus; with the virus spreading more quickly and widely due to variant strains and unvaccinated individuals, it leads to a higher number of hospitalizations. Furthermore, older adults represent a large share of hospitalizations as they make up a large portion of those who are either unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated and remain especially vulnerable to severe illness from COVID-19.
  
In addition, hospitals have reported an increase in non-COVID patients seeking care since November or December 2020; some of these patients may be going in believing they have COVID-19 while actually having other illnesses that require medical attention.

Finally, health systems may be overwhelmed by an influx of critically ill patients with COVID-19 which requires extraordinary resources such as additional personnel, medicines and equipment which can lead to further spread of infection within healthcare settings. 

Taken together all this factors explains why we have seen so many hospitalizations for Covid all sudden.
