Presto 200 thousand infections a day in the United States. This is the recent forecast of several experts in the field of national health, who are analyzing a situation that is certainly not reassuring in the United States.
The country just exceeded the quota 10 million infections, obtaining 100,000 new positives for seven consecutive days, with a total that is the highest in the world.
But that number probably will keep going up quickly, complicating an already very difficult image:
“We are seeing a substantial increase in cases in the United States; an increase that goes much further, I think, than most people would have expected “,
told CNN Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Coronavirus USA: 200 thousand cases a day soon according to experts
The coronavirus situation continues to worsen in many countries. But it is the United States, with 10 million infections, to mark the greater number of positives.
Which is why many experts anticipate decisive growth in the first place Michael Osterholm, appointed member of the Covid-19 Transition Advisory Board headed by newly elected President Joe Biden:
“I would not be surprised if in the coming weeks we find ourselves witnessing more than 200,000 new cases a day,”
Osterholm said.
The average of new positives in 24 hours in the last seven days was equal to 119,238 contagion, more than three times higher than in mid-September.
But it’s not just the growing number of positives that are worrying. On Monday, the United States recorded more than 59,200 people hospitalized in hospital nationwide.
This is the highest number since July 25 and not far from the national pandemic peak of 59,940, established on April 15.
The growth of the deceased, which last week for five consecutive days exceeded the quota 1,000.
According to Johns Hopkins University, since the beginning of the pandemic in the United States, more than 238,000 people died. But at least another 110,000 deaths are expected in the next two months, according to the Institute for Health Assessment and Metrics at the University of Washington.
