(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) The number of confirmed new crowns in the United States exceeds 19.5 million, the first confirmed cases of mutant infections by the new corona virus
China News Agency, Washington, December 29 (Reporter Sha Hanting) The number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States surpassed 19.52 million at 29 local time, and the death toll surpassed 337,000.
According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, at 7:00 p.m. on the 29th, there were more than 19.52 million confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States and 337,829 deaths. Among them, 2,211 million were confirmed in California, 1,727 million were confirmed in Texas, 1,292 million were confirmed in Florida, 948,000 were confirmed in Illinois, and 943,000 were confirmed in New York State.
Colorado Governor Polis announced on the same day that a man in his 20s in Colorado was diagnosed with the new mutant coronavirus. This mutant strain is the same as that previously discovered in the UK. This is the first confirmed case of new mutated coronavirus infection in the United States.
The man is reported to have no travel records and is currently in isolation in Albert County, Colorado. Polis said she will pay close attention to this person’s condition and track close contacts.
In recent days, with the arrival of the Christmas and New Year holidays, the number of travelers in the United States has increased significantly. According to statistics from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in the past 11 days, more than 1 million passengers flew in 7 days, the highest passenger flow since the outbreak.
In this regard, Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that initially he hoped that people would not travel as much as possible, but now these people who travel can still choose not to attend parties to reduce transmission. Fauci said that the current situation of the epidemic has been “out of control” and will be more serious in January of next year than in December of this year.
According to the Covid Tracking Project (Covid Tracking Project), the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 has reached 121,000, the highest since the outbreak. According to statistics from the US Department of Health, the proportion of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units has increased from 16% in September to 40%. In addition, the average number of new cases per day in the last 7 days is about 180,000 and the death toll is about 2,210, slightly lower than previous data. CTP said the reason for the decline was a lack of timely reporting on many holidays.
That day, Vice President Elect Harris of the United States publicly vaccinated the new Modern crown vaccine in Washington. He expressed his confidence in the vaccine and called on the American people to receive it on time.
According to statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 11.4 million doses of the new corona vaccine have been issued, of which 2.1 million have been vaccinated. This rate is lower than the previously expected plan to distribute 20 million doses of vaccine before the end of the year. (End up)
