There has been a slight increase since the minimum on Jun 26, 2021, but not near the January maximum.
A new variant Delta+ is now spreading and might require the booster vaccination.

Do you have a link for your most recent CDC statistics?
I do:
CDC Covid Tracker and it shows:
hospitalized patients 1/11/21: 123, 865
hospitalized patients 6/26/21: 12,100
hospitalized patients 8/3/21: 45, 237 (more than 1/3 the January peak and climbing)
And that was almost a week ago:
hospitalized patients 8/9/21: ?? (I expect this to be in the 66,000 range)
We're not at the January levels nationally but we're on the path to getting there.
Florida is exceptionally high and has already exceeded its all-time peak from last July.
