By the end of the year, the third leading cause of death could be a coronavirus disease in the US.

Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the spring outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the signs, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

The death toll from the coronavirus epidemic in the United States has reached 200,000, Johns Hopkins University and Hospital in Baltimore reported Tuesday.

“It is a huge and tragic loss,” Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Public Health, told US Public Service Radio (NPR). She added that if this trend continues, Covid-19, after cardiovascular diseases and cancer, could be the third leading cause of death in the country by the end of the year.

In an interview with NPR, Bob Bednarczyk, a professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, urged him to wear a mask and follow physical distance recommendations. He believed this would have prevented many deaths.

I am concerned that much of the American population is cold with these figures, and perhaps even the 200,000 dead and the almost seven million infected do not make them pay attention to precautionary measures.

– He said.

Following the release of the data, the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Hospital Association (AHA), and the American Nurses Association (ANA) issued a joint statement. “Today we have reached a sad turning point,” they expressed, asking for compliance with epidemiological regulations.

Among those we have lost are mothers and fathers, grandparents and children, teachers and health workers. The steps required to spread the virus are now well known, but let’s say again: wear a mask, wash your hands, and stay away from each other.

To date, 6.8 million people have been registered in the United States, making the country number one in terms of both the number of people infected and the death toll from the epidemic. There are a total of more than 31 million recorded infections and more than 965,000 deaths worldwide.

The Wall Street Journal, citing health professionals in its Tuesday issue, wrote that measuring body temperature did not produce the correct results for recording infections and ultimately slowing the epidemic because many infected people do not have a fever. According to the newspaper, non-contact infrared thermometers and body scanners are not very effective either.
