The director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Dr. “I think we’re going to be stupid,” Paul Fitte said Thursday. “I think what is going to happen is that you will see that as the summer months enter the numbers will go down, people will think great, we are good.”
He added: “And then, if I think at least 80% of the population will be immune from natural infections or the immune system, when winter comes, you’ll see a resurgence.”
Yet many states have begun to relax measures, including the mask order. And with fewer masks and more transmissible variants moving around, IHME raised the Kovid-19’s death forecast by an additional 22,000 by July 1.
Overall, the IHME has forecast 600,000 Covid-19 deaths as of July 1, more than the current 530,000 reported deaths.
“I think March and April are just as important, crucial times.” “On the one hand, you have this hyper-transmissible virus that can result in another emergence after a spring break.
“On the other hand, we’re speeding up vaccinations very quickly, and what we really want to do is just give those vaccines a chance to fight back and not let this virus re-emerge.”
‘We have to be humble with this virus’
For those who have been vaccinated, the CDC issued new guidelines on Monday, maintaining recommendations against travel for those who have been inoculated.
Some have questioned whether the guidelines are too strict.
“We have to be humble with this virus,” Vans Lensky said in an interview with NBC Knightley News. “Whenever we feel like we’re in control of it, our enormous increase.”
Once more people are vaccinated and the number of cases comes down, the CDC can improve its guidance, W. Lensky said.
More than 98 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been given in the United States a year after most of the country was shut down by the virus, according to CDC data released Thursday.
About 1 in 10 people in the US – about 33.9 million people – are fully vaccinated, and close to 1 in 5 people – more than 64 million people – have received a single dose.
“If July 4 comes around and your family has been vaccinated and your neighbors on the street have been vaccinated, yes you can get together for a barbecue,” Dr. Jonathan Rainer told CNN’s Don Lemon on Thursday.
“Getting a shot in hand is not just a ticket to vaccination, it is a ticket to get people back to office fees, to open movie theaters, to fill ball ball parks, to get people back on the plane.”
Pay attention to the ‘long covid’
“I’m worried that when we think of the long cove we’re actually seeing the top of the iceberg, there’s going to be a lot of disability, a lot of suffering that will last a long time with us.” . “I hope that’s not true. But that’s the genie I’m worried about, and I want to understand it better.”
A recent study found that 30% of people with Covid-19 have symptoms up to nine months after the initial infection, and the National Institutes of Health has launched a $ 1 billion research effort to study the long-term health effects.
CNN’s Christopher Rios, Brandon Miller, Lure Ren Mascarenhas, Ryan Pryor and Didre Mc McPhillips contributed to the report.
