[Lectura ampliada]Foreign Media: Epidemic Curve Raises US Healthcare System Welcomes New Wave of Epidemic “Screenings”
Reference News Network reported on October 23 Foreign media said that in the last two weeks, the epidemic curve in the United States has shown an upward trend every day. The medical system has raised the alarm about possible bad conditions similar to the first wave of the epidemic.
According to a report by Economic News Net from Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 20, the memory of April 2020 still makes Americans feel pain: the crowded intensive care unit, the tent hospital temporarily installed in the exhibition center and parking in Los Angeles. And the medical ship in the port of New York … Although states have passed the second peak of the new coronavirus infection in the northern hemisphere in summer, almost all hospitals have raised an alarm again: a situation may still exist similar to the worst period of the pandemic. The admission rate of patients with new coronary pneumonia across the country has risen again, and while the death rate has remained stable, the increase in deaths may only be a matter of time.
The transmission rate of the new corona virus reportedly started to rise again in mid-September. At that time, many states resumed classroom courses, but it appears that only the New York City school system remains safe in this situation; many companies have managed to reopen; and more and more people have stopped staying at home for most of the past few months. Began to increase outdoor activities. Deborah Burks, Coordinator of the White House Coordinator of the New Coronavirus Response Task Force, noted that when they participate in social events and family gatherings, people are more likely to relax their vigilance and then rekindle the epidemic.
The report noted that with the arrival of winter, seasonal respiratory diseases have also started to spread and state governments are actively discussing what measures should be taken. Some government agencies are formulating plans to deploy Fangcang shelter hospitals, which was tantamount to a “luxury” in the first wave of the epidemic; And some communities are reviewing the reboot plan repeatedly to prevent good intentions from doing bad things and ultimately leading to tragic results.
According to media reports, the epidemic appears to have returned, either in areas such as the western and mountainous states of the Midwest where the severity of the infection was moderate before, or in areas on the east coast such as Massachusetts and New York. , where the situation was most serious in the past.
According to the report, although the cumulative number of reported cases in the United States has exceeded 8 million, according to official estimates, up to 90% of the 330 million inhabitants remain vulnerable to the impact of the new coronavirus. While using safe and effective vaccines is one way to build immunity without getting infected, due to many problems such as industrial production, even if a vaccine is developed and marketed, not everyone can get it right away. Therefore, the new coronavirus still has enormous potential harm in the United States.
According to statistics, Utah, which almost never made the headlines in April, now has more than 1,000 new cases in a single day. American health and medical experts noted that Utah’s medical system is on the brink of collapse.
The report also said that from June to August, the peak of the epidemic did not appear to be interrupted. When the weather becomes drier and colder, the spread of the virus becomes stronger. It is worth mentioning that the flu season is also approaching, and viral coinfection is a risk factor that threatens the response capacity of the medical and health system.
According to statistics, on August 14, more than 37,000 patients with new coronary pneumonia in the United States received treatment at the hospital, which is the highest number in the past two months. Compared to that time, only Hawaii has a decline in hospitalization rates and 12 other states have remained stable; however, the remaining 37 states, including Texas, New York and Illinois, which have higher population densities, have hospitalization rates. upload.
The report noted that while the resources available to the states are still sufficient to deal with this public health crisis, the increase in hospital admissions indicates that the situation is worsening and the new corona virus is likely to have consequences. very serious.
