Orange County sprinted past a grim milestone of 6,000 COVID-19 deaths, while hospitalizations and other data indicated this winter’s Omicron variant-fueled surge is slowing.
“… Omicron is less severe, but you can’t have hospitalizations in the thousands … without some deaths,” he added. The number of COVID patients in county hospitals dropped from 1,114 Tuesday to 1,086, while the number of intensive care unit patients fell from 191 to 179. “The numbers of hospitalizations are starting to trend down and the message is things are looking good,” Noymer said.
Two of the dead reported Wednesday were skilled nursing facility residents, raising the overall toll in that category to 1,230. Another was an assisted living facility resident, raising the death toll in that category to 649.
