The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations is rising this summer in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Hospitalizations of people with the virus are up 10%, per CDC data — the sharpest increase since December 2022. More than 7,100 patients with COVID were hospitalized in the week of July 15th, up from 6,444 the prior week.

COVID-related emergency room visits are also on the rise, comprising 0.73% of visits as of July 21st, compared to 0.49% a month prior. “After roughly six, seven months of steady declines, things are starting to tick back up again,” Dr. Brendan Jackson, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager in Atlanta, Georgia, told NPR this week.

Meanwhile, a Chinese-linked company was found running an unlicensed California bio-laboratory that contained at least 20 potentially infectious diseases, including corona virus, HIV, hepatitis, and herpes. The warehouse was discovered by local and federal agents in Fresno County. The illegal and unlicensed laboratory was full of lab mice, medical waste, and hazardous materials.

Federal agents interviewed a man named Xiuquin Yao who was running a company at the warehouse called “Prestige BioTech.” Yao served as president of the company.
