Health experts warn that the effects of cold weather and Thanksgiving travel could cause up to 4,000 deaths a day in the next ten days from COVID-19 in the United States.
They have warned that despite the possibility of a vaccine, the country is on the verge of an outbreak and could turn into a ‘disaster for the country’ after 90,000 hospital admissions on Thursday.
The country’s top infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci says Christmas and New Year will not be different from Thanksgiving, as he predicted an increase in cases of coronavirus during December.
The U.S. hit more than 13 million infections on Black Friday as 205,000 new cases were reported, including some Thanksgiving figures when 20 states reported no data.
It marks the 25th consecutive day in the country with more than 100,000 new cases.
Five states have recorded deaths this week and 23 states have more cases than last week, with a total of more than 264,000 deaths.
U.S. There were only two daily deaths in the past week, while more than 2,000 Americans died each day just before Thanksgiving.

Experts believe the figures could rise further as they warn Americans to “hunker down” for a difficult winter.
Emergency therapist and visiting professor at George and Washington Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health, Dr. Le Liana Wayne, told CNN on Friday that the country is far from a corner.
“We can’t get our guards down,” he said. ‘Vaccines will make a big difference in spring and summer; They won’t make a difference right now.
‘If anything, we’ll turn the disaster into a corner. We’ll be here in the U.S. soon. We will surpass more than 2,000,000 deaths every day, perhaps, 1,000,000,000,000,000 deaths. ‘
This prediction was supported by Dr. Jonathan Rainer, a professor of medicine at George and Washington Washington University, who claimed that the daily mortality rate would double in a day.
Dr. Fauki also warned of more deaths as he warned of a harsh holiday season.
“If this increase continues and you get more than 100,000 infections a day and 1,300 deaths every day and the count continues to rise … I don’t see more Christmas and New Year holidays than Thanksgiving.” He told USA Today.
“The current daily figures are so low that the country remains vulnerable to any surge in cases, as they predict in December and the new year,” Fawcett said.
He added that he and his family would prepare for the rest of the holiday just like Thanksgiving, where his three daughters appeared via video chat while he and his wife enjoyed dinner.
‘For my own family, I have to say we had a really great Thanksgiving and Christmas last year.’
‘We are looking forward to a really great Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2021. Let’s make the situation better now and show our love and affection by keeping people safe.
‘Given the cool atmosphere and given the fact that this kind of celebration – as wonderful and beautiful and traditional as it is basically indoor things that people will sing, laugh and eat and drink … you have to be careful. , ‘He added.
Fauki had earlier warned that a normal Christmas would be impossible this year, telling CNN’s Jack Tapper that “if a vaccine is approved, it will not be a light switch.”
‘We won’t turn it on and off. … As the weeks and months go by, it becomes more and more common. Is going to gather, ‘he warned.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urged Americans to stay home this Thanksgiving, saying on its website that “despite being alone”, the risk of getting Quid-1 or the flu could increase. ‘Epidemics and stress.
The CDC’s latest forecast is for a total of 294,000 to 321,000 COVID-19 deaths by December 19. 21,000 people are expected to die in that week alone. The agency makes its predictions using the predictions of 36 modeling groups
With cases, hospitalizations and deaths already skyrocketing across America, health officials are warning that the true impact of Thanksgiving travel is being given and gatherings will not be seen for a few weeks like other holidays.
With the provision of more than three million air passengers by the TSA on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday before Thanksgiving, millions of Americans ignored the warnings.
On the second day of Thanksgiving, T.S.A. A further 1,070,967 more passengers were checked by security, the single highest number of passengers since March 16 when the epidemic began.
It is expected to be higher this Sunday as passengers return home.
The increase in travel, and the impact of Black Friday shopping, predicts a surge in the coming days and weeks in cases known to Dr Rainer Thanksgiving as ‘possibly the mother of all superspader superseder events’.
People who were traveling are requested to be isolated for at least seven days and then tested after returning.
‘If you are unable to get the test because the test is so limited, you should keep it separate for 14 days. And I mean a complete quarantine, don’t go to work, don’t go to school, stay safe, ‘said Dr. Wayne warned.
To reduce the COVID-19 wave of Thanksgiving and winter, more than 20 states have issued new restrictions, including a mask order and limited capacity of bars, restaurants and places of worship.

On Friday, Los Angeles County announced a new stay-home order on Friday as cases of coronavirus have spiraled out of control in the country’s most populous country.
When it closed with a complete lockdown, the order banned most gatherings for three weeks and advised residents to stay home as much as possible and cover their faces when leaving.
And in New Mexico, the order to reset the state, which put it in a two-week lockdown, was now announced Friday by county-based Governance Michelle Lugan Grisham.
She said this enables ‘counties’ and businesses and nonprofits within their borders to work with fewer controls while slowing the spread of the virus and lowering the test’s positivity rate.
However, Jody Guest, professor and vice chair of the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, says the lockdown and curfew now in place is too late and will not be enough to fight the spread. Holidays.
“Everything we do has an effect in four to six weeks,” he said.
“These remedial measures will keep people alive for the holidays, but I don’t think they have the license to go to the Christmas and Hanukkah parties the way we did in previous years.”
Currently, Americans are dying from the disease at a rate of around 65 per hour, but people who mingle with friends and relatives on Thanksgiving are more likely to get sick slowly, health experts say.
According to the Covid Trekking Project, hospitalization on Thursday had already reached a record high of 0.48 high1, although by Friday it had reached 83434 again.
The number of hospital admissions is still double that it was a month ago.
‘This is the reality we face when COVID-19 can spread uncontrollably – there is ICU at capacity, not enough health care workers are available,’ Gov. Gishem wrote in a tweet on Friday.
As of Friday, the U.S. The seven-day rolling average of new everyday cases rose to 194,979 and the rolling death average rose to 1,480 in one day.
Experts are concerned that the limited testing available on Thanksgiving will see a reduction in these average cases, with prospective Americans believing that there is no danger of the virus spreading to family gatherings.
“I just hope people don’t misinterpret the numbers and think there was no big jump as a result of Thanksgiving, and then plan Christmas and Hanukkah and other trips,” Dwayne told the Associated Press.
According to some experts, only a quarter of the actual number of Kovid-19 cases in the country is being reported.
Ali Mokdad, a professor of health metrics science at the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluations, told USA Today that milder forms of the virus are still being discovered because testing is not easily available to everyone.
“We should stop getting Covid-1, especially at this time,” Mokdad said. ‘We need to be extra careful this extra few weeks to avoid pain and suffering.’
The Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluations recently estimated that more than double the number of cases reported.
If that trend continues, they will file more than 450,000 daily cases by December 25.
