The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Dr. “We’re looking for 20,000,000 new cases every day. That’s unacceptable and that’s what we’ve had to get down to before the more problematic winter comes.”
Early Friday morning, Trump tweeted, “We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately.” “We’ll get through this Tugier!”
‘We are close to the crisis’
If 95% of Americans wear masks, the University of Washington’s Washington Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) estimates that about 95,000 Americans could be saved by January.
It also has projects that will kill more than 370,000 Americans by January. Since the outbreak began, U.S. More than 208,000 people have died, and more than 7.3 million have been infected.
States set Covid record
Local U.S. leaders are pushing for similar warnings, with more states reporting new Covid-19 cases than in previous weeks.
On Friday, Kentucky reported 1,039 new cases of Covid-19, the second highest number reported in the state since the outbreak began, Gov. Andy Basheer said in a pre-registration shared on his Facebook account.
The state has seen the highest number of new cases in the last four days, Besher said.
“The number of cases this week will break the record last week. We have to do better,” the governor said. “It’s very real and the situation in Kentucky is becoming very dangerous.”
Bashier put on a mask while tapping his message, saying he wore one “because the growth here in Kentucky is constantly getting worse and we have to wear this. All of us.”
Among the frightening trends, concern for schools
Meanwhile, communities across the US report worrying about Covid-19 trends, with more students returning to class.
Still, De Blasio made it a champion to call it a successful return to school and encouraged parents to sign an apology, which would allow their children to undergo monthly testing, with testing starting next week.
Governor of New York. Andrew Cuomo said Friday that there are 1,258 positive cases of Covid-19 among students and teachers across the state.
In Connecticut, where some communities are reporting an increase in Covid-1 cases, more than 1,130 students and school staff tested positive for the virus last week out of 600,000 students and staff, government official Ned Lamont said.
“Almost all of the people who tested positive, which didn’t happen in school, didn’t happen in the classroom, which happened off-campus,” Lemont said.
“Maybe a party, maybe some games, but that – maybe the classroom can be a safe place where you can be.”
Experts say diversity is important in vaccine testing
But as companies test their vaccines, American Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said this week that it is important for different groups of Americans, including the elderly, to participate in ongoing clinical trials.
In a vaccine development guideline issued in June, the FDA discussed the importance of including diverse populations in those tests, Hayne told the National Consumer League.
He added, “We have made it clear that we expect the data we receive to be common to all Americans.”
That point, he said, is very important for the agency.
The commissioner’s comments come amid efforts by health officials to reassure Americans that the agency’s COVID-19 authorization and approval process meets the highest scientific standards and is not influenced by politics.
“If and when we approve or authorize a vaccine, the public should have full confidence in that decision,” Hane said this week.
CNN’s Shelby Lynn Erdman, Christina Siglia and Amanda Watts contributed to the report.
