Original title: The number of deaths from the new crown pneumonia in the United States exceeds 700,000. Biden pleads for vaccinations
According to the Associated Press, the cumulative death toll of the new crown in the United States has exceeded 700,000 as the delta mutant strain rages. According to reports, the number of this milestone is more than the total population of Boston.
Late Friday (October 1), the number of people who died of new coronary pneumonia in the United States exceeded 700,000. The most recent 100,000 deaths occurred during the period when the United States allowed people over 12 years of age to be vaccinated, and the vaccine can greatly Prevent death, hospitalization and severe illness.
According to reports, this milestone has deeply frustrated American doctors, public health officials and ordinary people, who have witnessed the rapid outbreak of the new crown epidemic that has eased in the summer. Tens of millions of Americans refuse to be vaccinated, which has allowed the highly contagious delta variant to spread across the United States and increased the death toll from 600,000 to 700,000 in a short period of time.
During this period, Florida has the largest number of deaths. Since mid-June, the virus has killed approximately 17,000 residents. Texas ranks second with 13,000 deaths. These two states account for 15% of the total population of the United States, but since the United States exceeded the threshold of 600,000 deaths, the death toll in these two states has accounted for more than 30% of the total deaths in the United States.
Dr. David Dowdy, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, analyzed publicly reported state data. He said that it is safe to say that there are at least 7 out of the past 100,000 deaths. Ten thousand cases are people who have not been vaccinated.
“If we were more effective in vaccination, to be fair, we could have avoided 90% of deaths,” said David Dowdy.
According to reports, when the death toll exceeded 600,000 in mid-June, vaccination had begun to reduce the number of confirmed cases, restrictions were being lifted, and Americans were looking forward to returning to normal life in the summer. At that time, the daily death toll in the United States had dropped from more than 3,000 in mid-January to an average of about 340.
But as the delta variant strain swept the United States, the number of cases and deaths soared—especially among the unvaccinated and young people. Hospitals across the United States report that admissions and deaths among people under 65 have increased dramatically. Today, the average daily death toll in the United States is about 1,900. The number of new cases has fallen from the peak in September, but there are concerns that the situation may worsen in winter as the cold weather forces people to hide indoors.
According to a New York Post report, US President Biden begged Americans who would not be vaccinated to get the new crown vaccine on Saturday (October 2) because the 700,000 deaths from the new crown virus is a “painful milestone.”
“We cannot be numb to grief,” Biden said in a statement issued by the White House. “We remember all the people who were lost in the COVID-19 pandemic,” Biden also claimed, “Due to the advent of the vaccine, we have made extraordinary progress in the fight against the COVID-19 virus in the past eight months.”
Before the start of vaccination in the United States in December 2020, about 300,000 people died from the new crown virus, but in the following 10 months, the total number of deaths increased by 400,000 people, resulting in a high monthly average mortality rate in the post-vaccine era In the first few months.
Nonetheless, Biden said, “the alarming death toll is once again a reminder of how important it is to get vaccinated.” “If you haven’t, please get vaccinated,” Biden pleaded, “it can save your life and what you love. Human life.” (Editor: SDY)
