COVID-19 hospitalizations will likely continue to decline because there aren’t enough Oregonians left who are susceptible to the disease to cause a massive surge, according to a pandemic forecaster with Oregon Health & Science University.
OHSU researcher Peter Graven said in a statement that hospitalizations likely won’t surge, though the current downward trend could stall as people gather for Thanksgiving. Graven cautioned against comparing the current uptick in hospitalizations happening in Europe to what could happen in Oregon.
“The delta variant burned like a wildfire in Oregon compared to Europe at that time,” Graven said. “In Oregon, we’ve already infected a large share of the unvaccinated population.”
But that doesn’t mean Oregon can let down its guard quite yet.
“While we don’t have as large a group of susceptible people,” Graven said, “we could still increase hospital case levels if we back off precautions too quickly.”
Oregon health officials announced 862 new coronavirus cases Wednesday and 50 deaths connected to COVID-19.
The Oregon Health Authority reported nearly 5,700 new cases in the week ending Sunday, just under 2.5% fewer cases than the week prior. At 806 new cases a day, the daily average is now nearly three times smaller than what it was during the pandemic peak in late August, early September.
October has been the deadliest month for breakthrough cases -- when people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 get infected anyway. More than one in four of Oregon’s COVID-19 deaths that month had been fully vaccinated, according to a new state report published Wednesday.
Health officials said they won’t be releasing new COVID-19 case, hospitalization or death data until Monday, Nov. 29, citing the holidays.
