In the United States with the worst epidemic, Omikon has spread to all parts of the country.In the United States Chief Infectious Disease Experts, Guchi pointed out that Crown disease cases in the United States are almost upright. However, he believes that this wave of epidemic may reach a peak in a few weeks.
The weekly death case shows a downward trend
Statistics, as of the seven days of Sunday, as many as 10 million people in the world have diagnosed infection, which is nearly double the highest weekly record (50.7 million people) at the end of April last year.However, at the same time, the weekly crown death cases have continued to decline, and it has fallen to a new low that has been in more than a year.
Bloomberg pointed out that the epidemic in 2022 will depend on whether the number of deaths will increase with the surge in infection cases in the next few weeks.The strain.
Director of the Institute of National Allergies and Infectious Diseases, Foic, said in an interview with the Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Sunday that the US epidemic is in the stage of "almost vertical increase" in the case of crown diseases, and the increase in infection rates is surging.I have never seen it before.
The United States added more than 440,000 confirmed cases last Friday, almost twice the peak level in February last year.According to data from the New York Times, the average seven -day average of newly confirmed cases in the United States has risen to nearly 387,000, an increase of 202%over the past two weeks.However, the increase in the number of hospitals in the US crown disease is not so large, with an average of 90,000 hospitalized hospitals per day, an increase of 30%; the number of deaths decreased by 4%, and an average of 1240 people died per day.

However, the surge in infection cases may still make the health system overwhelmed.Fitch pointed out that, given that many new infections, especially patients with vaccines and additional vaccines, have no symptoms or only mild symptoms. The number of confirmed cases is not so important. The United States should pay more attention to the number of hospitalizations and deaths.
He said: "The key is whether the protection provided by the vaccine can prevent serious cases that cause hospitalization?"
Existing data show that in the face of OmikonThe agent still has a protective effect.However, Fudi pointed out that tens of millions of people in the United States were still not hit, and quite a few of them were seriously ill after being infected.
Like many other countries, the United States is trying to balance between protecting public health and reducing impact on economic and social life.The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier suggested that the isolation period of asymptomatic infected persons is shortened from 10 days to five days, but there is no rule that they must obtain negative test certificates before the end of the isolation.Fitch said that CDC will further explain this.
American school children ended their holidays on Monday, and many local officials stated that schools should be kept open.Minister of Education Cardina admits that the school's re -classes will challenge the prevention and control of the epidemic, but emphasize that this is "necessary."
Adams, the new mayor of New York, pointed out: "We have lost the education of nearly two years. We can't let this happen again ... For children, schools are the safest places"
