The United States continues without controlling the pandemic. The cases continue to rise in most states and some hospitals are close to running out of beds. For this reason, signs of concern occur among doctors: “We are in free fall,” said Rochelle Walensky., head of Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital.
“The images of what happened last weekend show that people are naive under the influence of their actions, or simply resign themselves to ignoring it. We know that 50,000 cases have been recorded in one day. If they are young, it could be 500 people who die, but if they are older, the figure would be 7,500 for a single day of infection, “Walensky said.
32 states continue to increase their infections
At least 32 states Americans have registered this week their higher rates of infection: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio , Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington State, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
In other 14, the new cases remain constant: Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming.
By last, just 4 are seeing how your data decrease: Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts y New Hampshire. All these data serve to raise doctors’ concerns: “We are accelerating nationally. The number of cases is still accelerating, “said Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
Hotez also stated that “We are breaking records almost every day here in Texas. People are piling up in hospitals, in intensive care units. We really can’t keep up with this beat. And it’s not just happening in Texas, of course. “
“It is happening in Florida, Arizona. We are beginning to see that a similar situation is now developing in the Gulf coast. And now we are seeing this in the Upper Midwest and Tennessee too “.
More than 3 million
The number of cases continues to increase in the country, and has already exceeded 3 million infection, something very worrying for Walensky: “Let’s remember that there are 300 million people in this country who are still susceptible and have not been infected Until now, and this virus is far from running out of people to infect. Until we change our behavior to prevent these infections, will continue to increase. “
More than 130,000 deaths
U.S It is also living a nightmare regarding the number of fatalities, which already exceed 130,000 peoples. To this she referred Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York, who criticized the performance of Donald Trump, whom he accused of minimizing the threat of COVID-19.
“Recognize the American people that the coronavirus existsIt is a major problem, it will continue until we admit it and each one of us gets up to do our part, “said Cuomo. He was addressing the US President, who last Saturday stated that 99% of the US coronavirus cases were “totally harmless”.
This attitude was also censored by Steve Adler, Democrat Mayor of Austin (Texas) in statements to CNN: “It is incredibly damaging and the messages from the President of the United States are dangerous.”
In search of the vaccine
Anthony Fauci, an adviser to the White House during the pandemic, said that if a vaccine were found, it would not last forever: “We are still immersed in the first wave”. She also praised the work of the toilets and It assumes that the cure would bring a degree of protection against COVID-19, but without knowing how long it would last.
