Why are there so many hospitalizations for covid all of a sudden?
<|assistant|>
There has been an influx of cases of Covid-19 leading to an increase in hospitalizations over the past several weeks. Additionally, as people start recovering and the spread of the virus begins to decrease, more individuals are being exposed to covid-related illnesses. This can cause a spike in hospitalization rates since the incubation period of some covid diseases can last up to 14 days. Finally, with better tracking methods and increased testing and surveillance, the rates of hospitalizations are more accurately being measured and reflected.
