“We don’t want to see a repeat of the upsurge we saw during the other weekend of the holiday,” Fossi said, referring to the outbreak following Memorial Day and the fourth of July. “We don’t want to see a rebound under any circumstances, but especially since we go to the other side of Labor Day and enter the fall.”
Still, many gathered in large groups on Saturday. In San Francisco, California, city officials announced Sunday morning that they would close parking on Ocean Beach after attracting large crowds after a rally for Saturday’s Burning Man event. More than 1,000 people turned out for the beach event, according to San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who called the gathering “reckless and selfish.”
And in Atlanta, “The Biggest Labor Day Weekend Party City in the City” and “Sunday Funde” hosted by Reaper Gucci Mane were announced along with the announcement of the rooftop party. Mask.
Fawcett urged Americans to keep gatherings small and out before the weekend, and E said he would spend the weekend on rent with his partner.
Model Dale predicts the death toll could exceed 400,000 by the end of the year
Wearing a mask and putting prevention measures in place could reduce the “scary” number of coronavirus deaths predicted in the coming months, Fawcett said.
The IHME expects the death toll to reach nearly 1,000,000 a day by December, an unprecedented number. For now, the model points to the use of a declining mask from the use of the peak in early August in some regions.
The IHME model Dell predicts the death of 211,000 U.S. from Covid-19 by September 26, a day after the new CDC commission’s forecast.
Fauqi told CNN on Friday that the new model is the only way to prevent the death toll from reaching the predicted number. “We’ve got our baseline going back to a very low level.”
Currently, about 1,000,000 cases a day are seen in the U.S., but if the case baseline is lowered, the country could be better managed to prevent the spread, according to Foussina.
U.S. Prepares a vaccine that will take months
Many experts worry that officials are rushing toward the vaccine, but U.S. The Surgeon General told states to be ready to distribute it by November “just in case”.
“We’ve always said we’re optimistic about the vaccine by the end of this year or early next year,” Dr. Jerome Adams said in an interview with ABC News on Friday. “That said, it’s not just about a vaccine being safe and effective – it’s about being ready to deliver it.”
President Donald Trump has predicted that the vaccine will be ready by the November 3 general election, although many experts say this is not possible. And while some publicly worrying political agendas will rush into the development process, two former U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioners told CNN that it is possible that Trump could apply that pressure on scientists, but very likely.
When asked if the November target has more to do with science or re-selection efforts, Adams said, “What people need to understand is the so-called data safety monitoring board that blinds data, so it won’t really be possible to move forward. Unless this independent board thinks the vaccine is effective, there is good evidence. “
Adams said the data from Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials have been positive.
“The most important thing I can tell people is that when a covid vaccine becomes available, my family and I will be in line to get it,” Adams said. “I think it will be safe, I think it will be effective and I think it will help end this fury.”
