The Reagan Health Authority on Friday announced 11 suspected new or suspected cases, and the state’s new MingDaling showed that without more focus on limiting the spread, there could be a dramatic increase in cases of climate change. .
Dapdn Seidlinger, state epidemiologist and state health officer, outlines three scenarios. The most promising thing is that with a 10% reduction in transmission, about 290 cases are reported every day and hospitalization will increase to 20 per day. If the transmission stays at current levels, Seidlinger said, the number of reported cases per day increases to about 570 and approximately 40 people need to be hospitalized every day.
In the most dire scenario, a 5% increase in transmission could lead to an increase in daily reported cases in 48 hospitals per day.
And those case calculations don’t show the whole picture; These are the only numbers that will be identified by the test and will be reported daily by the state. If the transmission rate remains at the current level, the number of daily infections could exceed 1,300, according to Matilding, the estimated number of cases today, which could be 2,200.
To avoid this, Siedlinger urged Oregonians to study the common sense measures recommended to prevent the spread of the virus, especially by lowering the temperature and spending more time inside.
“The virus is extraordinarily contagious and as the weather changes and preventive measures become more important than ever,” he said, wearing masks, practicing social distance, washing hands frequently and gathering in small groups. There are best ways to prevent the virus from spreading.
“The numbers are perfect and show why we should take this virus so seriously.”
