The US epidemic worsens, many states have problems again
The number of new coronary pneumonia infections in the United States has risen again, and California and the Midwestern states have been hit hard again. The number of hospitalizations in some cities has increased considerably and medical resources are scarce. The Washington Post stated that the United States cannot control the epidemic at all.
The number of hospitalizations in the US reached a record of new confirmed cases in a single day
According to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, on November 10, the number of hospitalized patients with new coronary pneumonia in the United States surpassed 60,000 for the first time, a record. More than 130,000 newly diagnosed cases in a single day set another record.
According to a CNN report on November 11, 44 of the 50 US states increased newly confirmed cases by at least 10% from the previous week. Currently, there are an average of more than 1,000 new patients hospitalized with coronary pneumonia each day in the United States. CNN said these figures are not optimistic, because the rise in hospitalizations is often accompanied by an increase in deaths.
Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Diseases Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota in the United States, said the current number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia has risen significantly, far beyond the imagination of most people. people. Still, the worst days of the American epidemic have yet to come. In the coming weeks, it will come as no surprise that there are more than 200,000 new confirmed cases in a single day.
So far, the number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 240,000, and the Institute for Health Indicators and Evaluation at the University of Washington expects more deaths in the next two months.
Many states are caught again in the epidemic
CNN reported that in the hard hit US state of Texas, El Paso County has six mobile morgues and four additional trailers are needed. On November 10, the state became the first state in the United States to have more than 1 million confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia. At the same time, many states in the United States are also facing an increase in new cases of coronary pneumonia.
The hospitalization rate for patients with new coronary pneumonia in most Illinois communities is much higher than it was in the spring. The number of confirmed cases and hospitalizations in South Dakota is also increasing.
Bruce Vanderhoff, medical director of the Ohio Department of Health, said: “The hospitalization rate in all Ohio counties is increasing. If the spread of the virus is not controlled, our medical system will no longer be able to receive emergency patients.”
The governor of Utah declared a state of emergency again on the 9th and demanded the use of masks throughout the state. He said the state’s medical system is overwhelmed. The hospital cannot accept more people, especially the intensive care unit.
Rising hospitalizations have put a lot of pressure on the medical system in many parts of the United States. The medical capacity of many states is not optimistic. Wisconsin, El Paso, Texas and elsewhere have established field hospitals.
Reuters reported on the 11th that California Secretary of Health and Human Services Mark Ghaly said in a briefing that in the past two weeks, the hospitalization rate for patients with new coronary pneumonia in California has shown a spiraling upward trend. , and admissions to the intensive care unit. The number has increased by 30%.
