Due to the rapid spread of the more susceptible “delta” variant strain across the United States and the slowdown in the rate of new crown vaccination, the number of new confirmed cases, deaths and hospitalizations of new crown pneumonia in the United States has continued to rise.According to recent reports from the US media, according to the latest model predictions, the US epidemic curve will continue to rise in summer and autumn, and reach a peak around mid-October. By then, the number of new deaths in a single day may reach more than three times the current number. .
According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, in the week ending on the 23rd local time, there were an average of 49,386 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in a single day in the United States, an increase of 60% compared with the previous week; in the past 7 years On average, there were 272 new deaths in a single day, an increase of 8% compared to the previous week. In the past week, 32 of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. in the U.S. saw new confirmed cases increased by more than 50%; the epidemic was the most severe In the severe state of Florida, the number of new confirmed cases and hospitalizations in recent days has climbed to the highest point since the beginning of the year.
At the same time, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on the 23rd, the number of people vaccinated against the new crown in the United States has dropped to a new low since the end of January this year. Currently, 30 states in the United States have completed vaccination with less than half of the total population. Among them, the number of people vaccinated in Alabama and Mississippi is less than 35% of the state’s total population.
Restore the “compulsory mask order”?Officials still object
In the face of a rebound of the epidemic, parts of the United States are considering re-implementing the previously cancelled “mandatory mask wearing order.” Last week, Los Angeles County, California, resumed the “mandatory wearing of masks indoors” requirement. However, as in the early days of the outbreak in the United States, many officials still object to the requirement to wear masks. After the city of St. Louis, Missouri announced that it would resume the requirement of “mandatory wearing of masks indoors” from the 26th, the state’s attorney general stated: “People in St. Louis are free” and he will file a lawsuit to prevent “mandatory masks.” make”. In addition, the governor of Arizona and Texas also stated that the wearing of masks is not allowed as a compulsory order.
With the “Delta” strain raging, so far, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not issued new guidance on whether to wear a mask or not. Some American medical experts pointed out that the CDC seems to want to rely on people’s consciousness, “Unfortunately, Americans are not conscious.”
99% of COVID-19 deaths in the past six months have not been vaccinated
According to US media reports, the United States is “in the midst of an epidemic crisis caused by the slowdown in vaccination.” US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Valensky recently stated that in the past six months, at least 99% of the new coronary pneumonia deaths in the United States have not been vaccinated.According to US media reports, some severely ill patients with new coronary pneumonia admitted to the hospital recently expressed regret and begged medical staff to vaccinate them, but it was too late at this time.
Florida nurse:Every day when we go (to the patient) intubation,When putting the patient on a ventilator,They will ask,Can I get the vaccine now?Can I not get on the ventilator after being vaccinated?They are begging for a vaccine.But when you enter the intensive care unit,Has been infected with the new coronavirus,You can’t get vaccinated.
At present, many people in many parts of the United States are still skeptical about vaccination. According to statistics, as of the 20th of this month, only 33% of people in Alabama have completed two doses of vaccination. The low vaccination rate has led to a sharp increase in local cases. Since the 9th of this month, the number of new confirmed cases in the local area has increased by two to three times every seven days.
In spite of the severe epidemic situation, recently at a food market in Mobile County, Alabama, some media photographed that a free vaccination site welcomed only 12 vaccinators within three hours, and business was booming with surrounding food stalls. The scenes formed a sharp contrast. Many locals feel that they do not need to be vaccinated against the new crown.
Local residents of Alabama:I don’t think it’s necessary to get vaccinated,So I do not vaccinate.I’m not worried,I am very healthy,I don’t have any other diseases,I don’t care whether to get vaccinated or not.
Some people say that the reason why they hesitate and reluctant to vaccinate is because they always see some comments on the Internet such as “vaccine will change genes.” According to statistics, Mobile County has a population of more than 400,000, but the vaccination rate is one of the lowest in the United States.
