A similar trend has started here in Georgia too.
Cases though still low but are on the rise as are hospitalizations. Mercifully, the daily death count has come down, but given the upward move in hospitalizations, that won’t be far behind.

“given the upward move in hospitalizations, that (the death rate) won’t be far behind.”
We can hope that the younger population of these new cases will hold up better than the older folks who were more heavily represented in last Winter’s wave.
But the next few weeks will tell.
There is a fear, that just as the mutations in Delta make it marginally more evasive to the immune system and vaccine protection, that the antibody cocktail treatment may also be marginally less effective. I have seen some state that already.
