NEWS on COVID-19 in Rhode Island: https://www.boston.com/news/coronavirus/2020/12/09/rhode-island-coronavirus
Rhode Island is leading the country with the highest average daily COVID-19 case rate per 100,000 people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a development that follows the state’s hospitals hitting capacity last week due to surging COVID-19 cases.
Since then, doctors have been taking to social media to share the strain that is being placed on health care workers on the front lines.
After working a shift at a Rhode Island hospital, Dr. Rebecca Karb snapped a photo of herself and shared it on social media, writing that she’s starting to treat patients now whose cases appear to be linked to large Thanksgiving gatherings.
Over the last seven days, Rhode Island has reported an average of 122.9 cases per 100,000, according to the CDC. The state has a 8.9 percent positivity rate this week, according to the state’s COVID-19 data, up from 6.9 percent last week.
Dr. Megan Ranney, a Brown University emergency room physician, said there are a number of reasons why the densely populated, but small, state is experiencing such high infection rates, including lots of testing, having a high number of college students per capita seeding infections, and a family-oriented population contributing to super-spreader events.
