Data on Friday in the U.S. local time showed that the number of new coronavirus infections soared to more than 74,000.It is almost three times the level in the past week, a new high since mid-April.There were 27,956 new cases in the United States on Thursday, and the average daily number of new cases in the previous week was 26,262. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) pointed out thatAt present, the Detla variant virus has become the most important strain of the new coronavirus in the United States!
Most of the new cases in the United States are concentrated in areas where the vaccination rate is less than 40%, and 99.5% of hospitalized cases have not been vaccinated.
The latest data from CDC shows that in the past week, the number of confirmed new crowns in the United States has increased by 11% every day, and the number of hospitalizations has increased by 7%. Among them, the average number of new cases per day is about 13,900, and the number of new hospitalizations is 2,000 per day.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that Florida’s new infections accounted for one-fifth of the United States. As of the week of July 15, the number of new cases in Florida has almost doubled to 45,604, compared with 23,697 in the previous week.
As the Delta mutant strain continues to spread in areas with low vaccination rates in the United States, the sharp rise in new cases across the United States on Friday has caused widespread concern and a new round of concerns among the American people.
According to the CDC investigation,The Detla virus currently accounts for 51% of all cases in the United States. The CDC once again urges all Americans to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Louisiana is one of the states with low vaccination rates in the United States. The governor said:
The time has come for the American people to run instead of walking to get vaccinated!
The Delta mutant strain is not only more than twice as infectious as the original new coronavirus, but it can also disrupt the body’s own immune system function, thereby reducing the vaccine protection rate.
Even if the vaccine is fully vaccinated, it may be infected again due to the Delta mutant strain. Therefore, officials in the San Francisco area suggested:
Regardless of the vaccination situation, it is hoped that Americans will also wear masks in indoor public places.
On July 14, Los Angeles County public health officials said that due to the continuous and rapid increase in new crown cases, the vaccinated Americans also need to wear masks indoors again. The mandatory indoor mask wearing order came into effect on July 17.
In addition, President Biden said on Friday,Misleading information about the new crown epidemic flooded on social media platforms such as Facebook is “killing”.
Officials in the Biden administration have raised concerns about misleading information about vaccines to Facebook. Biden said:
They are killing people. I mean they are really killing people. Now our epidemic is only spreading among people who have not been vaccinated. They are killing people.
