According to the latest data released by Johns Hopkins University, a total of 33,602,540 cases have been confirmed in the United States, and a total of 603,525 cases have died.

According to a new study released by the National Institutes of Health, in the first few months of the outbreak in the United States, there may be nearly 17 million infected people in the United States who were not included in the statistics of confirmed cases. According to the study, in the spring and summer of 2020, the infection rate of new coronary pneumonia in the United States is higher than the data reported at the time.

Caitlin Sadler, head of the immunological engineering department of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, said that in mid-July 2020, the estimated number of confirmed cases in the United States was 3 million. If asymptomatic infections are included, this The value should be raised to nearly 20 million.

Matthew Memorly, director of the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Office of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that one of the characteristics of new coronary pneumonia is that some people are infected with the virus but have almost no symptoms. “It is necessary to fully understand the epidemic situation.

According to expert analysis, this is due to insufficient vaccinations among the 18 to 29-year-olds. If the epidemic is allowed to develop, the proportion of young people among the future deaths will increase.

  Europe: Variant strains may cause the German epidemic to rebound again

On the 25th, German Health Minister Span and the head of the disease control agency Willer said that the country’s epidemic is expected to rebound due to factors such as the delta mutant strain. Willer said that the delta mutant strain is more infectious than the alpha strain that appeared before, and it spreads faster, especially in people who have not been vaccinated. Therefore, he called for the need to prepare for the new rebound in the number of new diagnoses. Shi Pan also reminded the public to insist on wearing masks indoors to complete the second shot of vaccination.

At present, the “accumulative number of new diagnoses per 100,000 people in seven days” officially used by the German authorities to monitor the severity of the epidemic has dropped to 6.2, the lowest level in the past year. According to Willer’s analysis, taking a responsible attitude and cooperating with the epidemic prevention is the reason why the anti-epidemic has been effective. He and Shi Pan both called on the people to jointly maintain the current situation of slowing down of the epidemic.
