In the first week of December alone, the Covid-19 pandemic set consecutive “unprecedented” records across the United States. This is extremely worrying for the people of this country because this winter is still so long.
China prepares to vaccinate Covid-19 on a large scale
Public health experts in the United States warn of a very long winter for the people of this country. They are concerned and stunned by what happened in the last 9 months and could not expect the United States to find itself in a bad situation as it is today, according to USA Today.
Dr. Robert Amler, an American public health specialist and former medical director of the Federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said: “I don’t think anybody thought that we would have to deal with so many problems in December.” Meanwhile, Ali Mokdad, director of population health strategy at the University of Washington: “I never expected this to happen in America.”
The states of America are facing a dark and dangerous winter. The authorities are gradually resorting to stricter isolation and lockdown measures. So what happened in the country with the world’s largest economy from March until now?
On March 31, some American experts predicted that 100,000 to 240,000 people would die from Covid-19 in 2020. However, so far this number has nearly reached 300,000 and some people are predicted to have the number of Deaths from Covid-19 in the US will reach around 345,000.
Monica Schoch-Spana, a scientist at the Johns Hopkins School of Health and Environmental Engineering, believes that Covid-19 in the United States is “a long-standing crisis.” If in many other countries the quarantine and blockade measures have been effective and the epidemic is gradually being controlled, in the United States things continue to be very complicated from March until now.
To date, the United States has a total of more than 15.5 million Covid-19 infections, more than 293,000 deaths. These figures are the largest in the world. The world’s leading country in the number of deaths from Covid-19/1 million people is currently Belgium, the US ranks 11. However, in terms of individual states, there are 3 states that exceed 1508 deaths. for Covid-19/1 million inhabitants of Belgium are New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts.
Monica Schoch-Spana continued: ‘I thought that the Covid-19 epidemic in the US would be under the same control as other countries. But now he could not have expected us to be in such critical times of crisis ”.
It is worth mentioning that the Covid-19 epidemic in the US has been happening continuously and seriously since its appearance. By early December, the United States had seen the two most “deadly” sick days since the day it broke. On Wednesday and 5 weeks ago, the number of deaths from Covid-19 in this country was 2,804 and 2,879, respectively. When April passed, it was thought that the pandemic had had a bad time in ‘the land of flags’. But at the end of the year, it broke out even more terrible than before.
From April to late November, the United States has not seen a single day more than 2,500 people die from the pandemic. However, when December passed 9 days, the country recorded 4 days of deaths that exceeded 2,500 cases / day. The number of Covid-19 infections in the United States has also risen steadily over time. The number of people hospitalized for Covid-19 in April and July (two periods of epidemic crisis in the US) never exceeded 60,000. However, the United States surpassed 60,000 people hospitalized for the epidemic on November 10, and by Wednesday of last week (December 2) this number surpassed 100,000.
Experts say that the greater the number of hospitalizations, the greater the risk that the United States will break epidemic records. In the past, the ‘land of flags’ rarely exceeded 100,000 infected people per day. But so far, there are around 200,000 Covid-19 cases here every day, which is very common. In March, some epidemiologists assumed that the worst time of the US epidemic was April. After that, the weather was sunny and Covid-19 would be easier to handle. For winter, when the weather turns cold, people spend more time indoors and from there the layout will be effective. But that did not happen.
America has had a bad summer, with the disease reaching a new level when family members flock to the streets to enjoy the warm sun. All-night parties, crowded beaches, and infrequent use of protective measures are reasons why Covid-19 has spread strongly. This country takes too long to advise people to wear masks, limit exposure. Scientists and regulators here are also not in agreement on how to deal with the disease early on. So far, the consequence is that the number of people infected and dying from epidemics is continuously increasing and even more when the winter of 2020-2021 is far from over.
Texas became the first state to surpass one million people infected with Covid-19 on November 10 and has more than 1.334 million cases to date. It is worth mentioning that this state is located in the south, the climate is warmer than in many other places in the United States, but the epidemic is still very strong. This shows that compliance with epidemic prevention measures by the people here is very poor. But then, Texas still had to give up and let California exceed the number of infected people. Currently, this state in the western United States has 1.355 million cases, almost double than in New York, the first epicenter of Covid-19 (more than 700,000 cases).
Covid-19 spread from east to south, west and then now in rural areas, in the central mountainous areas of the United States, people are also fighting the epidemic. On November 19, officials from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advised the people of this country not to travel on Thanksgiving and reunite with family during the Covid-19 period. . However, the transport authorities of the ‘country of the flag’ said that this holiday the number of people on the plane in the United States is the highest since March of this year.
The most serious outbreaks of Covid-19 occurred in nursing homes, cells, and meat processing plants in the United States. Additionally, federal data shows that blacks and Latinos in the US are three times more likely to be infected and twice as likely to die than whites.
Previously, the elderly and people with poor immune systems in the US accounted for a large proportion of Covid-19 infections, so far the young are the majority. Many outbreaks have occurred on the school walls as the country continued to send students to normal school. Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that during the peak week, more than 61,000 children across the country tested positive for Covid-19.
With very little awareness of most people’s epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic measures proved to be heterogeneous and ineffective, perhaps a very long and bad winter because Covid-19 was waiting for Americans.
