And death is likely to occur when hospitalized, doctors have warned.
Presumably before the numbers get better they get worse and officials worry about the upcoming holidays – and the gatherings that come with them – will lead to an already enormous spread in the winter months. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Public health measures by experts for months, including facial masks, social distance and regular hand washing, can help keep the virus down.
Health resources ‘extended beyond belief’
New cases have been reported in at least 36 states over the past week, while only five – Alabama, Hawaii, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee – are declining, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
In Connecticut, government Ned Lemont announced new guidelines, including limiting restaurant restaurants to 50% capacity, which, among other restrictions, limited no more than eight people to the table and indoor events space and theaters. Lam Monte also recommended residents stay at home between 10pm and 5am, a move he said would help limit socialization.
Meanwhile, in West Virginia, the governor issued a warning about the state’s infection rate and drained resources.
“As it boils down, what I’ve done is now I’ve taken an even tougher step to try to provide testing and our National Guard, local health departments are now being tested beyond recognition and beyond recognition,” the government said. Jim Justice said.
“For most people, we’re concerned,” he added. “Most of us are doing the right thing. But most of us don’t really care about that level.”
CDC: People who have Covid-19 or have been exposed can vote
A CDC spokesperson wrote in an email on Monday that voting could take place in person following the CDC’s recommendations for polling stations and voters.
Voters who are ill or in quarantine should be notified when they arrive at the polling station and the following steps should be taken.
- Wear a mask
- Stay at least 6 feet away from others
- Wash hands or use hand sanitizer before and after voting
Voters who are assisting voters with symptoms should be provided with personal protective equipment and trained on how to use it properly.
“Whenever possible, alternative voting options – which minimize contact between voters and voters – should be made available to those with Covid-19, those with Covid-19 features and those who have been exposed,” the spokesman said. .
The 1-week spike is most common in Covid-19 pediatric cases
Meanwhile, the worse news is, there are Covid-19 cases in children at the moment.
According to figures released Monday by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Children’s Hospital Hospital Association, the count of covid-1 cases in the U.S. is affecting children at an “unprecedented level”, tracking data reported by state health departments. .
The AAP said in a statement that during the last week of October, 0001,000 new cases were reported in children, “larger than the week before the epidemic.”
More than 853,000 children have tested positive for the virus since the epidemic began on October 29, AAP said. There were about 200,000 of these cases during the month of October.
This number is probably under-calculated because the symptoms in children always seem mild and like a common cold or virus and many children go untested.
