US Disease Control: Mutant Virus Discovered in South Africa Has Spread Across the United States
Fauci remembers the appearance of mutant viruses as a “wake-up call”
The director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Valenski, said at 29 local time that two confirmed cases of the new mutated coronavirus found in South Carolina in South Carolina indicate that the virus mutated has begun to spread in communities across the United States.
“I think one thing that is concerning is that we know that these two people do not know each other and that they have not been to South Africa. So the current presumption is that this mutant virus has spread in the community,” Wallen Ski noted. that under the leadership of the Biden administration, the scope and process of virus testing have been “expanded,” meaning that the chances of finding more mutant viruses have increased.
At the same time, Varensky was also concerned that when the virus mutates and produces a dominant strain, the vaccine may not be able to exert its normal effects. He stressed that scientists have developed new vaccines based on existing vaccines, which “will more effectively target these mutated viruses.”
On the other hand, on the 29th local time, Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, said at a press conference at the White House that the appearance of the new mutant coronavirus is a “wake-up call.” “We will continue to see the evolution of variants. We must be flexible to be able to adjust at any time.”
Fauci also said that by spring 2021, the new mutant coronavirus is expected to become the main epidemic strain in the United States.

The death toll of the new crown continues to grow
Massive infection in another destroyer
On 29 local time, the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington estimated that the new mutant corona virus found in South Africa may cause the total number of deaths from new corona pneumonia in the United States, which reached 654,000. May 1st.
Experts say that if Americans can wear masks widely and maintain social distancing, the total number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in the United States is expected to exceed 590,000 by May 1. However, if Americans do not follow these epidemic prevention measures well, new Coronary pneumonia expected The total number of deaths will rise to more than 650,000.
On the same day, the US Navy issued a statement confirming that some 12 crew members from the destroyer Chafee tested positive for the new corona pneumonia virus. Confirmed patients and close contacts have been evacuated from the ship and quarantined, but the destroyer will continue to fulfill its mission.
Vaccine distribution in Los Angeles is in chaos
Is it more effective to wear two masks?
Additionally, as more and more Los Angeles residents received their first dose of vaccine, supply shortages and online scheduling problems reportedly prevented them from completing the two-dose vaccination process.
On the 28th local time, thousands of people in Los Angeles may have delays in their vaccination appointments. At the same time, many other residents encountered problems using the county’s online dating system.
Local government officials said many people are concerned about the second dose of vaccination, which is why the county call center sometimes receives thousands of calls every hour.
This uncertainty exposes ongoing problems like how the county manages its dwindling vaccine supply and how to share key information with communities desperately in need of answers. Resident anxiety is increasing because the second shot is accompanied by additional pressure due to time constraints.
Andrew Nomel, associate professor of public health at the University of California, Irvine, said “transparency is not enough.”
Officials across the state have indicated that vaccine allocations are projected to drop in recent weeks. Although this situation may change, the lack of advance notice has affected the long-term planning of the number of vaccines that states and counties will receive in the future.
On the other hand, the CDC is currently testing the effects of wearing two masks.
The CDC’s New Crown Medical Director, Dr. Brooks, said at local time 29 that he has not seen experimental data to test two masks at the same time. Once the information is available, it will be shared.
Brooks also emphasized that the most important thing is to allow as many people as possible to wear masks.
