The latest data released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Day 5 showed that 106,537 new confirmed cases were reported in the United States on Day 4, setting a new record for the number of cases. new in one day in a country around the world.
The data shows that the average number of new cases in a single day in the United States in the last 7 days has reached almost 90,000, which has once again set the record for the highest number of new cases in a single day in the 7 days from the outbreak. There were 1,141 new deaths on Day 4, the highest since mid-September.
Recently, the US epidemic has recovered badly, and important indicators such as the number of recently confirmed cases, the number of hospitalized cases, and the positive rate of virus tests continue to set new records. The increase in new cases is not due to increased testing. Although the number of tests is also increasing, the increase is much less than the increase in the number of confirmed cases.
According to the latest data published by the National Epidemic Tracking Project initiated by Atlantic Monthly, on the 5th, 37 states in the United States reported more than 1,000 new cases, of which more than 5,000 new cases were reported in 5 states. As of April 4, the total number of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the United States exceeded 52,000.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a senior member of the White House Coronavirus Response Task Force, said in late June that if the situation of the new coronavirus epidemic in the United States does not reverses, the United States can increase by 100,000 cases each day. This prediction is now a reality.
Fauci recently stated that in light of the current severe epidemic in the United States, he supports the implementation of the mask order throughout the United States. The United States may not begin to return to a certain sense of normalcy until the end of 2021 or even 2022.
Public health experts in the US tracked recent new cases and found that many of the new cases came from family gatherings and friends. As the weather turns cold and many outdoor activities are switched indoors, the number of confirmed cases may increase even more. Experts are concerned that with Thanksgiving and Christmas Day the public may relax their vigilance If prevention and control measures such as maintaining social distancing and the use of masks are not followed, the epidemic may continue to worsen .
Former US Food and Drug Administration Director Scott Gottlieb said in a media interview recently that Thanksgiving in late November may be a turning point for the new corona epidemic. in the U.S. “State data may appear after Thanksgiving. Exponential growth.”
The “Atlantic Monthly” of the United States commented on the 4th that, with the approach of winter, the “wave of increase” of infections in almost all regions of the United States is “accelerating dangerously”. The next few months may be the “darkest time” since the outbreak in the United States. If the American people travel extensively and come together on Thanksgiving, the spread of the epidemic will also accelerate.
