UT researchers warn COVID hospitalizations will surge beyond previous high

In the next few weeks, Texas’ health care system could be facing the largest surge in coronavirus patients since the onset of the pandemic. According to UT Austin's COVID-19 Modeling Consortium, hospitalizations across the U.S. will peak far above the previous high by the end of January.

Total hospitalizations in the U.S. this week surpassed last January's peak to reach nearly 146,000. Coronavirus patients in Texas have surged above 11,000 patients, accounting for roughly one-sixth of all hospitalizations in the state.

Anass Bouchnita, a postdoctoral researcher with the consortium, said hospitalizations in Texas will likely keep pace with national trends.

“We are in the middle of this tsunami of cases that keep rising day after day with new records set every week,” he said.
