White House health adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci and other public health experts have become increasingly pessimistic about the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Fauci shared with the Washington Post on Friday the following update on the outlook for the winter epidemic in the United States. “We are in a general injury. This is not a good situation. When you enter the fall and winter seasons, all the stars are arranged in the wrong place and people are gathering in indoor houses. Your situation cannot be worse.” “
According to a report released by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) on Monday, more than 61,000 children were diagnosed with COVID-19 last week, which is a new record. This is more than any other week during the pandemic so far.
“Although in states that report cases by age, children account for only 11.1% of all cases,” the report concluded, “since the outbreak, more than 853,000 children have tested positive for COVID-19.” After hovering around 2% in April, it has now exceeded 11%.
“This is a stark reminder of the impact of this epidemic on everyone, including our children and adolescents,” Dr. Sally Goza, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said at a news conference on the findings. “This virus is highly contagious. When we see spikes in many communities, children are also more likely to become infected. We can help by keeping physical distance, wearing masks, and following other recommendations from doctors and public health experts. Protect everyone in our community “.
Although severe cases of the new corona have been shown to be rare in children, the AAP urges more data to be collected to study the long-term effects of the virus on children, such as the impact of the epidemic and its consequences on health. mental. Each week, the AAP and CHA aggregate data from the United States public health departments.
“Not only did the children feel the direct effects of the virus and fell ill, but at a critical stage of development and education, the epidemic has changed their lives,” said Dr. Goza. “I am very concerned about the long-term damage that children can suffer, especially black and Hispanic children, who have a higher rate of infection.”
