• USA A 4th of July without independence from the coronavirus

  • Live Coronavirus, last minute

It was predictable. The relaxation of measures against

Covid

and the slowdown in the rate of vaccination has resulted in a notable increase in cases in the

United States,

with hospitals again on alert and some regions recovering part of the restrictions. The number of daily positives, marked by the high incidence of the delta variant from coast to coast, has doubled in just one week, to around 30,000 a day, with the number of deaths on the rise, 9% more than 15 years ago. days. Seventeen months after the pandemic began, 280 people are still killed every day by Covid in the world's leading power.

The new wave contrasts with the

lack

of

interest

of a significant part of the population to get vaccinated. The daily number of doses has dropped to half a million, a drastic drop from the 3.3 million injections that were delivered at the peak. That explains why the goal set by President

Joe Biden

on July 4, 70% of the population over 18 years vaccinated,

has not yet been reached

. And that

only 48% of the country has the complete guideline.

The US has even given itself the luxury of

giving away millions of doses to countries most in need

before the slowdown of the campaign at home. The sentiment of those who refuse to protect themselves with the drug has translated into hostility, especially among conservatives. They consider that the vaccine is not only useless, but is part of a

government plot to control them.

Many of them live in rural southern states where Covid numbers have skyrocketed. In

Tennessee

the increase in 15 days has been 373%, with other states such as

Florida

(232%),

Louisiana

(185%) and

Alabama

(194%) with a similar trend. In

California,

the cases have risen to 165%, which has led the authorities of the most populous county in the country,

Los Angeles,

to again require the use of masks in closed spaces as of Saturday, even to those who are already vaccinated.

After hovering around the barrier of 1,000 daily cases and less than a thousand hospitalized throughout the State, the level has risen to 2,600 positives and 1,731 people admitted by Covid, even with the high level of vaccination in the

Golden State,

on 59 , 6%, above the national average but far from the best regions in that chapter.

California Governor

Gavin Newsom

once again insisted on the obligation to be vaccinated so as not to prolong the pandemic.

"I can't instill in them even more the power to get vaccinated," he said.

"If we want to extinguish this pandemic, this disease, we have to get vaccinated. End point."

Rochelle P. Walensky,

director of the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

(CDC, for its acronym in English), spoke today of the

pandemic of the unvaccinated,

seeing "outbreaks of infections in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage, and vaccinated communities where things are going reasonably well. "
