Reference News Network reported on November 20 According to the US media, on the 18th, the United States passed a terrible milestone: the number of deaths related to a new coronary pneumonia reached 250,000, and this number is expected to continue to increase dramatically as the number of infections increases throughout the world. country.
According to a report published on the New York Times website on November 18, experts predict that the number of new deaths in the United States could soon reach more than 2,000, reaching or even exceeding the peak of the epidemic in the spring of this year. Another 100,000 to 200,000 Americans may die from new coronary pneumonia each month.
According to the report, the severity of the situation depends on a variety of factors, including the implementation of preventive measures and the timing of the launch of the new corona vaccine.
Jeffrey Saman, a professor of environmental health at Columbia University, said: “It all depends on what we do and how we respond to this epidemic.” He said, “This will determine how much it will affect us.”
As early as March of this year, when the new coronavirus appeared relatively short and was mainly confined to a few hotspots like New York, reportedly Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s leading infectious disease expert, predicted that the epidemic could cause up to 240,000. The Americans died.
Now it has crossed this barrier and there is no end in sight.
According to the report, preventive measures such as the wearing of masks have been involved in political disagreements from the beginning, and continue to do so today, because the Trump administration refuses to proceed with the transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden and also refuses to agree with The latter cooperated in strategies against the epidemic.
Experts say that the new vaccine may not begin to have an impact until next year, and for now, advances in the treatment of the new crown and the younger age of the infected population mean that the mortality rate of patients hospitalized has dropped significantly. Infected cases can be diagnosed earlier, which also helps fight the epidemic.
According to a Nov. 18 report on the US website “Newsweek,” Undersecretary of Health Brett Giroyle said that due to the rapid increase in new cases across the country, the United States is at a “critical and dangerous time” of the new crisis of the crown.
Giroyle is the Trump administration’s coordinator for Covid-19 testing. He told Microsoft-National Broadcasting Corporation’s Andrea Mitchell: “I want to urge everyone, before the vaccine is released, our only way out is Wear masks in public. We know that state or local mask orders often work, and many places have implemented them. “
Giroyle is also a member of the White House COVID-19 Task Force and urged restricting indoor dining when talking about the upcoming vacation.
He said, “In most places, we will have to restrict indoor dining and indoor bars. This doesn’t mean takeout should be restricted. A lot of people want to use takeout for their Thanksgiving dinner, that’s great.” .
However, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, the number of new crown cases, deaths and hospitalizations in the United States is increasing at an alarming rate. On the 17th, more than 161,000 new cases were added and almost 77,000 were hospitalized. The death toll of the new crown has exceeded 248,000, and the number of deaths per day in the last week still exceeded 1,000.
“This is not a misrepresentation of the military situation. This is the fastest rate of increase in cases during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. There are no signs of relief. We should all be extremely concerned.”
The report noted that as the total number of new crown cases in the United States surpassed 11.3 million and 1 million new cases were added in a week, as Thanksgiving approaches, more states have begun to implement restrictions.
Additionally, according to the Washington Post website on Nov. 19, emotionally elected President Joe Biden praised Republican governors and others who resisted Trump’s order and championed stricter epidemic prevention measures. Biden also warned that “pretending to be a tough guy” in the face of the epidemic would lead to unnecessary deaths.
According to the report, Biden compared the epidemic prevention and control measures implemented by Ohio Governor Mike Devine and other Republican governors to Trump’s negligence. Now, more and more Republican governors are asking people to wear masks when they go out.
Biden said: “This is not a political statement. You know, it has nothing to do with whether you are a tough guy. It is about patriotism. If you really care about your country, all you want to do is ensure the safety of your neighbors and relatives “.
