A summer surge of COVID-19 is occurring across the United States, with cases rising in at least 38 states, particularly in the south and west. Hospital admissions have increased, and the NHS has issued warnings about the rise. The surge is attributed to the new 'FLiRT' variants, which are affecting vulnerable groups, especially the elderly. The CDC has noted that these variants are growing or likely growing in 43 states. L.A. County has also reported an increase in cases and hospitalizations. Dr. William Schaffner, a professor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, has commented on the situation. A new vaccine may be available this fall to address the situation.
