Chicago – Coronavirus cases are on the rise in 39 states and only three cases are being seen less. Daily deaths are also rising in an average of 10 states compared to two weeks ago. The Midwest has become particularly difficult in recent weeks.
The nation is almost watching 50,000 new cases One day, public health officials issued an ominous warning.
Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said:
The country is seeing twice as many new cases today as it did in early April.
“I hope this number travels to the American public in amazement that it is on the verge of getting worse,” said the nation’s leading infectious disease specialist, Dr. Said Anthony Fauci.
So is this the first wave or the second onset of the epidemic?
“I don’t believe the infection actually spreads in waves,” Osterholm said. “It’s more like a coronavirus forest fire where in fact, it just burns, burns and burns. But then you leave a break, then it all comes back again.”
