U.S. Department of Disease Control and Prevention As of Thursday, 2,672 cases had been reported in the UK for the first time in 46 states, according to the centers. And it spreads quickly.
“We’re literally sitting at the top of it, at a time when instead of really getting better prepared for it, we’re inviting the virus to open up,” said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. University of Minnesota.
By summer, most U.S. With the opening up of vaccine eligibility for adults, support for measures to protect against the virus is dwindling, according to a new survey.
Still, fewer than a third said there should be fewer measures, with support for additional restrictions declining since November, according to new research from the Pew Research Center.
But health experts say the road to mob immunity is still ahead, and masks and other restrictions are still crucial to managing the epidemic.
During a White House Covid-19 briefing on Friday, CDC Director Dr. “That mask works,” Rochelle Valensky said in a new CDC study.
“Your cases and deaths have decreased when you wear masks and your cases and deaths have increased when you dine in individual restaurants, and so we will advocate for policies – definitely cases when we are in this high number. – which he will listen to public health science, “Velensky said.
Relaxation is prohibited in the states
U.S. Moving closer to widespread vaccinations, many states are changing their policies around the COVID-19 ban.
In Maine, the government. Janet Mills said Friday that the state will need the mask, but announced a new structure to slowly reopen the state. By March 26, the state’s indoor assembling capacity will increase to 50% and outdoor to 75%.
And in West Virginia, starting Saturday, some businesses, including restaurants, bars, gyms and museums, may open with 100% seating capacity, but social distance will still be needed, the state gym justice said Friday.
In Texas, any business will be allowed to open 100% from March 10th, and the order for residents to wear masks has been withdrawn.
Not all state leaders seem comfortable with the changes.
“I’m concerned about states that raise the mask mandate because what you’re doing is sending a signal that it’s not important anymore, and that’s not true. In fact, it’s just as important as before,” said North Carolina Gov. Roy. Said Cooper.
“I would encourage my fellow governors and local officials who are making decisions to keep the mask command in some states, to set a good example and to continue to act responsibly.”
The Detroit mayor denied Johnson and Johnson a vaccine allotment
Many experts have celebrated the authenticity of the third coronavirus vaccine: Johnson’s and Johnson’s, which is a single shot and is stored at temperatures more favorable for transport and storage.
But there has been a bit of a pushback.
Dougan declined the shipment because the city is able to meet current demand with its supply of Pfizer / Bioentech and Modern vaccines – however, his administration on Thursday extended vaccine eligibility to residents with chronic medical conditions in chronic0 or older.
All three vaccines are very effective in preventing serious illness from Covid-1, and health officials have urged people to take any Covid-19 vaccine given to them.
“The day may come in March or April when everyone is committed to Moderna and Pfizer, and we still have people who need vaccinations. And at that point we’ll set up a Johnson & Johnson center. I don’t see that.” Weeks, ”Doug said.
CDC Guide to Vaccines
The CDC guidelines for vaccinated people are coming soon, Valensky said. The guide was expected to be published this week.
“Our goal and most importantly is that people who have been vaccinated and those who have not yet been vaccinated will understand what steps they can take to protect themselves and their loved ones.”
U.S. With over one million vaccine doses given, and after a year of life turning down, many want to know what the future holds.
“I think people need practical advice on how to move on with their daily lives,” says Julia Marcus, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Harvard. “I think without guidance, people can make decisions that they are not aware of.”
According to the Biden administration official, the guidelines will not allow vaccinations to live like 201’s again, but according to the Biden administration official, there is some hope in the guidelines that the end of complete social isolation is near.
