Covid surge wearing US out in multiple sectors

As the US is surpassing an average of 160,000 new Covid-19 cases a day, the spread of the more transmissible Delta variant and the return of many students to the classroom for a new academic year seriously concern officials and health experts.

The pandemic is not only stretching hospitals thin with the surge of patients, particularly unvaccinated people and children, but also wearing the country out in the fields of tourism, tech businesses and social welfare, Xinhua news agency reported on Thursday.

More US kids were hospitalised with Covid-19 in August than any other time this past year — proving how seriously the Delta variant can hit any age group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
