On the 30th (local time), a new mutant coronavirus infection virus (Corona 19) confirmed in the UK was also found in California, USA. This is the second time it was first discovered in Colorado the day before. California is the most populous region in the United States.
According to US media, California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a video interview with Anthony Pouch, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), “I confirmed that a man in his 30s was infected with the virus. mutant in San Diego County, Southern California. ” The man, as his first confirmed case from Colorado, has never traveled to the UK. It is very likely that you have been infected in the community. San Diego County Superintendent Nathan Fletcher said: “I don’t think this case is the only mutant infection in San Diego County, as there is no travel history.” “There will be more mutant infections.”
In Colorado, someone else is suspected of having a mutant virus and is being investigated by health authorities. Along with a man in his twenties who was confirmed the day before, he was sent to a nursing facility in Elbert County from the 23rd as a member of the National Guard for non-medical work. American health officials estimate that the British mutant virus has already spread to the community. This is even worse in the United States, the world’s largest corona19-infected country.
In the United States, the number of confirmed cases did not improve even on this day. According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, 3,927 people died that single day, the highest ever recorded. The number of confirmed cases increased to 179,671. Cumulative deaths amounted to 341,845 and cumulative confirmation amounted to 19,75,899.
But the vaccination is not as smooth as the plan. The Pfizer-Bioentech vaccination started on the 14th and modder vaccines are vaccinated on the 21st, but the rate is rarely accelerated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of the 12.4 million doses (one dose) of vaccine distributed throughout the United States at 9 a.m. the same day, 2.58 million doses were inoculated. . It is only one eighth of the original goal of completing 20 million vaccinations in the year. This statistic is a combination of the Pfizer vaccine and the Modena vaccine.
According to the New York Times (NYT), Montseff Slawi, executive director of the US administration’s COVID-19 vaccine development program, the ‘Super Fast Operation’ team, said: “We admit the number of vaccines is less than what we expected. We are working hard to improve our skills. ”Slawi predicted that once pharmacies started vaccinating, the vaccination rate would pick up momentum. The US administration has signed agreements with several pharmacy chains so that if it is easier get the vaccine, you can get it at the pharmacy.
“Everyone will be able to get the vaccine in April,” Pouch said. “If people are vaccinated diligently in April and June, they are expected to gradually reach the level of herd immunity.”
