The spread of the Sars-CoV-2 virus is also slowing down in Italy, one of the countries most affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. Britain is not yet on the hill.
The temptation to reduce restrictions on public life is great given the economic losses. But virologists warn: even those who arrive too early are punished with life. There is a risk that the number of infected people will skyrocket. The prominent immunologist and adviser to Trumps, Anthony Fauci (79), considers that the return to normality is gradual and possible with regional gradations.
United States wants to start the economy again soon
Public life in the United States is largely stagnant due to the crisis, which is extremely harsh for the economy. Trump (73) had originally promised a return to normalcy for these days, at Easter. But then, the Covid 19 pandemic hit the United States in full force, and sad records have been set daily ever since. In absolute numbers, the United States now has the highest number of deaths worldwide due to the crown epidemic: More than 22,000 people died from the virus as of Easter Sunday night.
Trump wants to get the economy back on track quickly and is expected to present a panel of experts Tuesday to discuss the schedule to ease the restrictions. But after the president received massive criticism from Democratic opponents and the media, downplayed the danger of the crown for a long time, and dragged the wheel too late, Fauci now warns his boss against hasty steps in the other direction: the trial could possibly be a cautious opening “at least somehow” in the next month.
However, predictions of this kind are difficult and one should not act too quickly. The ice on which politicians and experts in the crown crisis move is still thin, much of the virus is not yet exactly known.
On Sunday, Trump tried to ease the accusation that he had reacted too late to the pandemic. He did not understand why the media and Democrats in the United States would have criticized him so violently for the introduction of a Chinese entry ban, he wrote on Twitter and added: “Corrupt media!” The president’s top aides had warned the media of a coronavirus pandemic in late January that could kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. Trump himself maintained until early March that the virus was not a cause for concern for the United States.
Spanish return to work
In Spain, where Easter Monday is not a holiday, the first relaxation of the strict restrictions on departure is due to the almost 47 million inhabitants. For two weeks, only those working in indispensable industries were able to work. As of Monday, most Spaniards are now allowed to return to their jobs, but the strict curfew, which continues until at least midnight on April 25, remains different. Since mid-March, people have only been allowed out of the shopping house and in special cases.
The pandemic is under control. The data will be even better in the coming weeks thanks to economic hibernation, “said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez (48), referring to the mandatory two-week break for workers. The positive trend in the fight against the virus continued during Easter. Nearly 4,200 new cases were recorded in 24 hours, an increase of just under 2.6 percent to a total of 166,000, a comparatively low growth rate.
Italy has fewer deaths
There was also a ray of hope from Italy. On Easter Sunday, 431 crown deaths were recorded there within 24 hours. The increase had not been so low in a long time. A total of 19,899 people have died in the country since February from Covid disease 19, according to civil protection. The total number of infected increased moderately to 156,363 cases (more than 4,000 good ones).
Britain is not yet on the mountain
However, British Health Minister Matt Hancock spoke of a “dark day”. Corona’s death toll had passed the 10,000 mark over the weekend. Experts expect the number of unreported cases to be high, especially since many nursing home victims have yet to be registered. Many experts fear that the health system cannot resist the crisis and that the United Kingdom will soon be the country most affected in Europe by the pandemic.
But at least Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has Covid-19, has survived his serious illness. He was able to leave the hospital and is now supposed to relax on the Checkers’ rural estate. The 55-year-old man praised the staff at St. Thomas Hospital highly: “I owe them my life.” It is expected to take over government affairs in a few weeks. Johnson is on the mountain, his country is not yet. (SDA)
