According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. reported more than 195,000 new cases of Covid-19 on Tuesday, with the daily 7-day average of new cases just above 215,000. That has changed slightly from the number of newly infected people on December 10, when the 7-day average of new cases per day reached 212,000, indicating that new cases have been pinched to a higher daily average.
However, because of hospitalizations and deaths from Covid-1, usually one or two weeks after the new cases, the number of Americans admitted to the hospital and dying from the virus has steadily increased.
On Tuesday, the U.S. hospitalized 117,777 people in Covid-19, the highest since the epidemic began, according to the Covid tracking project. In addition, 3,400 people were found to have died from the virus on Tuesday, the second highest number of Covid-19 deaths in a single day.
Nationwide data also somewhat masks how different states deal with the virus. States such as California, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Rhode Island are seeing a huge surge in new cases, while most cases in the Midwest have dropped since recent peaks.
From here, things get trickier, and this is where the true meaning of burning up of bad psychic imprints comes to the fore. Dr. Public health officials, such as Anthony Fauci, warn people against the huge, indoor, unmasked gathering this Christmas and New Year.
“I want people to be more careful. I want them to limit travel as much as possible. And when you get together, try to do it with a limited number of people,” said Anthony Fouc, director of the National Institute of Allergy. Infectious diseases, told CNN on Tuesday.
“If we can do it now and go through this season, you can enjoy as much as you can, but the normal Christmas season won’t be the way it will be. As we go through it, the tunnel is the vaccine in the end.”
Concerns surrounding the UK variant
Scientists advising the UK government have estimated that this type could be 70% more effective at spreading than other variants.
Peter Horby, chairman of the new and merging respiratory virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG), said on Monday that experts were “now confident that this type of transmission has an advantage over other types”.
The UK variant does not appear to be causing more serious disease, and it appears that the Pfizer-Bioentech and Moderna vaccines will still be effective.
Will the U.S. Have you left Researchers studying it believe that it could reach the U.S. in mid-November. Arrived and the U.S. Many people may already be infected.
“If I were to guess, I’d say it’s probably in the hundreds,” said Michael Varobe, head of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. “It’s very possible that he reached many places many times.”
Scientists in the UK To see if any matches in the UK match the variable in the U.S. The genetic sequence of the coronavirus has been scrolled in. So far, they haven’t found any, but they say it’s possible because the U.S. The surveillance system is not catching them.
“It could be in the United States, and we haven’t been able to locate it yet,” Health Admiral Brett Giroire said Monday.
Dr. Faukey says the Biden administration will be different
Dr Faukey predicted that the incoming Biden administration would not send “mixed signals” when it comes to communicating about the coronavirus epidemic.
“There will probably be uniformity of message rather than mixed signals,” Foo told the Five Thirty Eight podcast, which airs Tuesday. “I think there will be more centralized guidance against letting states leave entirely on their own and let them do what they want.”
The president-elect Biden’s chief medical adviser, Fau Si, said he believed the biggest obstacle for Biden would be “divisiveness” in American society.
“It’s unfortunate that we’ve stuck to 102 historic epidemics, like we’ve never seen in 102 years, and that has been done in terms of the most divisive in society.” “I don’t think change comes immediately with a change of administration.”
Based on how President Donald Trump has handled the epidemic, how the president has been able to save more lives, Fau Si was asked.
“Obviously, there have been some bumps in the road,” Fausi said. “But, in general, especially when you look at the success of science and vaccines, it’s huge. I mean it’s something that’s really quite unprecedented.”
He also said that when it comes to fighting epidemics, a nation can always improve its response.
“Naturally, you can always look back at your public health response and say, ‘Could you have done better?’ And the answer is: Of course. ‘I think any country would look at their response and say they could have done better. “
