What does it mean to flatten the curve?

Flattening the curve refers to the goal of slowing the growth of infections to a point that doesn't overwhelm local hospitals and health care providers.

COVID-19 Headlines: Week of June 7, 2021

Across the United States, hospitals have been reporting some good news: zero to very low number of patients in COVID-19 units. But in some places where vaccination rates have been low, hospitals have reported seeing a surge in COVID-19 patients.

As more adults get inoculated, health experts are giving their attention to children who are not yet vaccinated. Children account for about a quarter of total COVID-19 cases in the United States, and one expert says pediatric patients are a “vulnerable host” for COVID-19.

The CDC's vaccination card is likely to be the primary proof of vaccination going forward as the U.S. continues loosening pandemic restrictions. Much of the information on the card is straightforward, but other parts, such as the vaccine lot number, point to key details that are less widely understood.

    Symptoms of COVID-19

    The symptoms are:

    • Fever
    • Cough
    • Shortness of breath

    The symptoms of the coronavirus may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    The CDC said reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed COVID-19 cases.

    Emergency Signs of COVID-19

    If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 get medical attention immediately, the CDC said.

    Emergency warning signs include:

    • Trouble breathing
    • Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
    • New confusion or inability to arouse
    • Bluish lips or face

    *This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.
