(CNN) Dr. Sergio Segarra says when Covid-19 patient numbers in the Miami hospital he works in dipped below 20 last month, he began feeling optimistic. The overwhelming majority of those coming in sick with Covid are unvaccinated, Segarra said. And in Covid hot spots such as Florida and Missouri, where patients are quickly filling Covid units, experts warn a rise in deaths could soon follow. The hospital went from 26 Covid-19 patients June 1 to more than 130 on Saturday -- higher than ever before, including their winter surge. Dr. Jeffrey Chapman, the chief medical officer at Wyoming's Cheyenne Regional Medical Center, say the hospital's increase in Covid-19 patients includes a younger demographic that is overwhelmingly unvaccinated and "deteriorating" faster."
