About a dozen U.S. Cases of coronavirus continued to develop in the states, as the nation’s leading infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci warns of alarming levels of new infections in the country.
In 11 states as of Sunday, based on a weekly average to simplify daily reporting, Covid-19 cases are up 5% or more, according to a CNBC analysis of additional data from eight states by Johns Hopkins University on Friday.
The states were Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Wisconsin recorded an average high in its daily new cases, recording 1,353 new infections, an increase of about 32% from a week earlier, Hopkins data show. Both Kansas and Montana have set record highs for new deaths.
The new national organization and director of allergy and infectious diseases, Fawcett, said current data on the U.S. Covid-19 outbreak “disrupts”, disagreeing with President Donald Trump, who said the U.S. Corners. “
Cases are on the rise in 11 states, including the U.S. The overall daily average of new cases decreases. In the last seven days, the country has reported an average of 34,300 new cases every day, down 1% from a week earlier, according to a CNBC analysis of Hopkins data. U.S. That’s far fewer than the approximately 70,000 new cases of the day reported weeks ago.
Still, in a day, 34,300 new cases rise alarmingly, infectious disease experts say, and U.S. health officials fear the nation will erupt as autumn and winter asons enter you. Health officials have repeatedly warned that they are preparing to fight the two worst viruses outbreaks later this year as the coronavirus outbreak continues into the flu season. Earlier this month, Fawcett said there were “unacceptable highs” close to bringing new cases under control every day.
Health officials say safe and effective vaccines will not be available in the U.S. Not likely to return to “normal”. Currently the U.S. for the virus. Although there are no approved drugs or vaccines, U.S. regulators have authorized certain treatments for emergency use for hospitalized patients.
Earlier in the day, Pfizer CEO, who is leading the race for the Covid-19 vaccine, said the vaccine could be distributed to Americans before the end of the year if it proves safe and effective.
The company is currently in late-stage testing and hopes to register as many as 44,000 participants.
Albert Borla told CBS’s “Face the Nation” that by the end of October, drug makers should have key data for end-stage trials for the Food and Drug Administration. If the FDA approves the vaccine, the company is ready to distribute “hundreds of thousands of doses,” he said.
Even if a vaccine is allowed to be delivered before the end of the year, it will come in short supply. There may be the possibility of two doses at different intervals for the vaccine, and states still face logistical challenges such as establishing distribution points and obtaining the needles, syringes and bottles needed for vaccination.
For now, leaders can prevent new outbreaks by practicing the “basics” of public health and disease control, medical experts and officials say.
The World Health Organization recommends that people wear masks as a way to slow the spread of the virus. Scientists say Covid-19 is spread by respiratory drops that are passed on when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Studies suggest that masks may act as a helpful barrier to the spread of infection.
The agency also recommends that people wash their hands regularly, stay away from others and avoid crowded places. If you have a fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, seek medical help, but if possible call by telephone and follow the instructions of the local health official, the WHO said.
