For severe cases of COVID, older adults (ages 65+) have the highest hospitalization rates. This helps explain why older adults are so aware of the summer surge. Among 619 survey respondents in five states (CO, MD, MO, NE, TX), adults 50+ were more likely to have heard about the summer COVID surge in the last week than those under 50 (57% vs. 36%). Make sure older adults in your life are taking extra COVID precautions during this summer surge.
This week's report is based on responses from a panel of 619 adult residents of Texas (n = 89), St. Louis, MO (n = 145), Omaha, NE (n = 89), Baltimore, MD (n = 169) and Colorado (n = 127) surveyed August 10 - 12, 2024. Explore these data and more at iHeard Texas.
