Earlier this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci said he was “disturbed and concerned” by the country’s average case count.
“It’s not a place to be when you’re trying to get your hands around an epidemic,” he said.
And as the weather cools, things will get tougher.
The accumulation will likely start moving inside the house, where the virus is more likely to spread. And as a war breaks out on campus at College Ledge, students returning to visit their families for the holidays soon may inadvertently bring a virus with them.
On top of that, it will be paired with the flu season, which, according to experts, could be “twin-demic”. What can help, health officials say, are safe safety measures such as flu shots and masks and social distance.
The average average case count comes with more worrying trends: only Alabama and Hawaii have seen a decline in new cases in the past week, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. And across the country, the hospital has started admitting more than 34,000 patients
Covid Tracking Project.Preparing to open a field hospital in Wisconsin
The project, with “particularly worrying signs” in Wisconsin, is increasing hospitalization trends in the Midwest and every other state in the US.
Said. At least one state saw an increase in hospital admissions this week, the project said on Thursday.
Wisconsin has announced that it will open a field hospital next week to consider the increase in patients.
“We clearly hoped that this day would not come, but unfortunately, Wisconsin is in a very different and more terrible place today, and our healthcare systems are flooded,” Tony Evers of the government said at a news conference.
The state has recently witnessed some of the country’s most alarming trends: record-high cases in the last few days, hospitalizations and deaths reported.
But he is not alone. Utah leaders said the state is not far behind. And more than 460 Kovid-19 patients across the state have set a record this week of being admitted to an Iowa hospital. The Missouri Department of Health broke the record Wednesday, with more than 1,300 Kovid-19 hospitalized.
Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Wyoming also saw record-high hospital admissions this week, according to project figures.
New York, New Jersey on Warning
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said Thursday that more than 1,100 new Covid-1 cases have been reported in the state, the highest since late May.
“This is a serious number,” said the governor, who later attacked the president, who recently told Americans not to “let the virus” dominate.
“To say that this virus is still not with us, to say that it is not viral, to say that it could not take your life is completely wrong. That’s every speck.” Murphy added.
Meanwhile, in neighboring New York, local authorities are trying to catch the outbreak clusters in several communities, including Brooklyn, Queens and Rockland and Orange County.
In New York City, the transmission is taking place through close contacts and household members, Ted Long, head of the city’s Test & Trace Corps, said this week.
To curb the spread of the virus, the state recently imposed strict restrictions on areas forming Covid-19 clusters, many of which have large orthodox thodx Jewish populations. The bans include closing schools and most non-essential businesses and restricting crowds at places of worship.
The new measures were met with protests by members of the Orthodox Jewish community and items were set on fire in Borough Park.
New York State Assemblyman Simcha Eischente said he was “outraged” by the government, Andrew Cuomo’s “drastic steps.”
“Let us continue to use our voices that no one can take away from us in our demands – our ability to gather in prayer,” he said.
Statement. “But we should do this peacefully because that’s what makes us who we are.”
