US media reported that as states in the United States lifted the new coronavirus epidemic prevention restrictions, experts worry that people who are not fully vaccinated may cause the virus to spread further.
According to CNN on the 16th, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Delta new crown variant strain originally reported in India has now caused nearly 10% of the total number of confirmed cases in the United States. Fearing that it may soon become a mainstream strain, medical experts emphasize the importance of comprehensive vaccination for the American people. US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy pointed out that the number of cases caused by the Delta mutant strain is “increasing rapidly in the United States” and that the strain “seems to be more easily spread than the Alpha mutant strain that is now dominant in the United States.” . Morty emphasized that the key lies in people being vaccinated. When people are infected with other strains, the vaccine can help prevent hospitalization and death.
According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, since the beginning of the new crown epidemic, the number of people who have died of new crown pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 600,000, which means that about 1 in every 550 people in the United States has died of the virus. In addition, according to statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, so far, 14 states have achieved the vaccination targets set by the White House and are gradually reopening. These states have lifted epidemic prevention restrictions on all commercial and social environments, including requirements for social gatherings, closed space capacity restrictions, maintenance of social distancing, health checks, cleaning and disinfection, and contact tracing.
