– The number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in the U.S. is remarkably decreasing.
On the 2nd of last month, the number of new infections in the United States peaked at 300,000,282. The average number of confirmed cases per day for 7 days as of the last 12 days was 9,669. Compared to the day it peaked, it is a third.
The Washington Post analyzed the cause from various angles, and said that opinions diverged even among scientists.
First of all, after the inauguration of President Joe Biden, wearing a mask was emphasized and social distancing was strengthened.
There is also an analysis that the expansion of the corona 19 vaccination had an effect. According to the Geographical Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC), 53 million vaccinations were performed as of the 14th. In the last week, an average of 1.6 million vaccinations per day is made, and we are moving toward the goal of 100 million vaccinations within 100 days of inauguration.
In addition, there is an analysis that the prevalence of Corona 19 declined as the weather became warm after winter. In addition, there are opinions that this is due to the decrease in the number of inspections.
However, the’war’ with Corona 19 is not over yet. There is still a high level of new infections, and mutant viruses from the UK and South Africa may turn the situation around.
