Katastrof i USA i vinter? - Nya fall ökar i mer än 20 stater
USA på väg mot en katastrof i vinter? Nya fall ökar igen i mer än 20 stater. Man lyckades aldrig trycka ner smittan ordentligt, svårt när det finns så många i befolkningen som är förnekare och medvetet saboterar åtgärderna för att bekämpa smittan.
More than 20 states report an uptick in new Covid-19 cases after US tops 200,000 deaths
Citat:
More than 200,000 Americans have lost their lives to Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic, and the country is now transitioning into a new season with worrisome trends.
The devastating death toll comes ahead of what experts caution could be a complicated flu season. In the next three months, another 150,000 people could lose their lives from Covid-19, according to a projection by the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).
"We're entering into the fall and into the winter, and that means there's going to be more indoor things than outdoor things," Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday during the Atlantic Festival. "Going into that situation, I would like to have seen the baseline of where we are -- the daily number of infections -- come way, way down, and not be stuck at around 30 to 40,000 per day."
At least 22 states now report a rise in new cases, most of which are in the country's heartland and Midwest. That number is a remarkable difference since last Monday, when only nine states were reporting an upward trend in cases. As of early Wednesday morning, seven states reported a decline of new cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The virus, still running unabated in many US communities, is raising new alarm in states like Kentucky and Wisconsin, which has one of the highest Covid-19 positivity rates in the nation, higher than 16%.
Wisconsin's governor declared a new public health emergency this week following a surge of cases among young people and issued a new order for face coverings. The state is experiencing 'unprecedented, near-exponential growth,' of the pandemic, according to a statement from Gov. Tony Evers's office.
Kentucky also reported a spike in its Covid-19 positivity rate after several counties saw a surge in cases.
