The predictions come after several state leaders took some steps to curb the spread of the virus, fueled by small gatherings growing indoors with cold weather, as well as other factors such as college lodges and school resumes. The national seven-day case average has risen by at least 18% since last week and is now an astonishing 61% higher than five weeks ago. And as multiple experts have warned, things are likely to get worse before they get better.
U.S. Dr. Scott, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. “It’s going to be a difficult fall and winter,” Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Monday. “I think we’re about two or three weeks behind Europe – so we’re a week away from starting to enter a period where we’ll see rapid acceleration in cases.”
The difference is that many European countries were able to suppress the number of their new cases during the summer, but the U.S. The fall season saw a new infection enter with relatively high baseline averages – experts warned that it would not help another increase in the case. . Dr. Anthony Fauci said earlier this week that EU countries were able to bring their baseline down due to tight and tight lockdowns, adding that the USA had “not been as close as our allies in Italy and Spain.”
“We are seeing that right now hospitals are being admitted in iz૨ states, cases are increasing in 45 states, and there is really no backstop,” Gottlieb said. “This is the fall and winter season when the coronavirus wants to spread.”
‘Be prepared:’ 70,000 new infections every day
At least 26 U.S. states are reporting more new Covid-19 cases than in previous weeks, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. According to the data, no states are trending in the right direction.
By Tuesday or next week, the U.S. As many as 70,000 new cases could be reported every day, according to the Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine, Boiler College of Medicine. Said Peter Hotz. And then the numbers could continue to grow, he said.
“Look at your mental health, because the general response to this is that people are going to be sad and upset, and maybe even frustrated, so get access to mental health advice,” Hotz said. “In other words, put those belts and suspenders and get ready.”
Covid-19 During the fall, how to stay safe – and discreet –
In Nevada, Gov. Steve Sisolek warned of “covid fatigue” and said more sanctions could be on the way if the covid-19 numbers don’t help. The state’s daily case count has doubled in the past month and its test positivity rate is the highest since early September – and more than 0% of the target set by World Health Organization officials.
And with the holidays approaching, experts worry that gatherings will only help to spread the already enormous. Experts say Americans should be careful if they want to spend time with loved ones and not contribute to the spread of the virus.
“If you really want to connect together indoors, everyone should isolate themselves for 14 days, and then get tested which will reduce the risk,” said emergency physician Dr. Le. Lena Wayne said Tuesday.

States take additional action
Government of Illinois. JB Pritzker announced on Tuesday that some regions of the state would implement more restrictive removal standards by the end of the week.
The new measures will include an end time of 11pm for any indoor service and outdoor services for bars and rest restaurants rentals. It includes no more than 25 people, but new restrictions on social gatherings.
“With the cold weather approaching and the flu season approaching, we’re going to see the ripple effects of these current unfortunate trends,” Pritzker said in a news release. “The spillover effect of the massive increase in cases in our neighboring states will continue. There is no easy certainty for the effects of this virus on our economy and our public health.”
The governor had earlier urged residents to be extra vigilant, warning that while the state is not showing as serious an impact as nearby regions, it could change quickly. Last week, neighbor Wisconsin noted record-high case registrations, hospital admissions, and daily mortality, and government Tony Evers announced the opening of a field hospital to respond to a surge in patients.
New Mexico is also implementing more measures to slow the spread, state officials said Tuesday.
Starting Friday, businesses that record four “quick responses” – which occurs when an employer reports a virus case – will have to shut down for two weeks, over a 14-day period. The new measures will apply to food and beverage establishments, retail, residential and nearby liaison businesses, officials said.
Retailers will also have to close by 10pm every night, officials said. New Mexico “experienced its worst week for the Covid-19 Infection“Last week, health officials said, with the highest rate of outbreaks in the U.S. and the new rate of cases.
In Washington State, Gov. Jay Insley said the state camp camp erupted on the campus and “there has been a significant increase in Covid-19 infections, especially in areas like Greek homes and large social gatherings of students.”
He announced a new ban for campuses that would limit the number of residents who share a sleeping area and require people in all common areas to wear masks and stay away socially.
