Healthcare professionals ‘deeply afraid’
Hospital hospitalization is also on the rise across the country. Record-high hospitalizations have been recorded in at least 10 states since Friday, according to data from the Covid Trekking Project.
As emergency physicians begin to see excitement in severe Covid-19 cases, they are also becoming fearful, said Dr. Megan Ranny, an emergency physician at Brown University.
“We’re increasing the number of all Covid-19 patients who are coming into our ER, who are really sick, in need of hospitalization and intensive care,” Rennie told CNN. He added, “We are all deeply afraid that this is the beginning of another terrible wave.”
He said the U.S. Healthcare professionals in India still lack adequate personal protective equipment and testing supplies.

“When schools are set up, when they have plans, when everyone wears masks universally, when they test people surveillance for system infections, (and) they know what they’re doing.” A child or older student who has to deal with an infection – it can work, ”he said.
Vaccine trial on suspension
And while the U.S. was fighting an epidemic ahead of the vaccine, drugmakers Johnson and Johnson announced Monday that one of the volunteers had stopped the state-of-the-art clinical truck of its experimental vaccine due to an unexplained illness.
“Following our guidelines, a participant’s illness is reviewed and evaluated by the ENSEMBLE Independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) as well as our internal clinical and safety practitioners,” the company said in a statement. ENSEMBLE is the name of the study.
“Adverse events – illness, accidents, etc. – are serious, they are an expected part of any clinical study, especially large studies.”
The company did not say what the illness was.
