Original Caption: US Media: US Needs 200 Million Monthly Inspections to Control Epidemic Well Beyond Current Capacity
Reference News Network reported on September 12 According to the US media, a new study shows that the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia infection in the United States is greatly underestimated, mainly due to a lack of evidence. Experts said in a new report that until next year, the United States should perform up to 200 million new tests for coronary pneumonia each month, so it has a chance to contain the epidemic.
According to a report published on the CNN website on September 10, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health believe that US case statistics did not “capture the total number of infections from this epidemic due to limited testing capacity and testing is still primarily limited to people with moderate to severe symptoms. “
The report published in the journal Nature Communications indicated that as of April 18, there may have been more than 6.4 million cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States. Investigators said there were 720,000 confirmed cases at that time.
The results of this study support the earlier statement by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the number of cases in the United States far exceeds expectations. In June of this year, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said testing is likely to miss about 90% of cases.
Experts say in a new report that until next year, the United States should perform up to 200 million new tests for coronary pneumonia each month, so it has a chance to contain the epidemic.
The Rockefeller Foundation and the Duke-Margolis University Health Policy Research Center released a report Wednesday that this number far exceeds the current capacity of the United States.
