What is the reason for the surge in infected people in the United States? New Coronavirus March 26 8:42
Experts suggest that the lack of testing may delay the understanding of the situation and lead to the spread of infection, as to why the number of infected people is soaring in the United States.
According to the US Center for Disease Control (CDC), the number of infected people in the United States was 54,453 as of the 24th, an almost 13-fold increase over the past 10 days. Experts have suggested that inadequate testing may delay understanding of the situation, which may have led to the spread of the infection.
CDC sent a proprietary virus test kit to each state in the United States earlier last month, but later found that some did not produce accurate results, and many states were unable to test. It was not until this month that the inspection was ready. During this time, CDC testing was limited to about 100 cases per day, and only returned persons from China and other Asian countries and their contacts.
Experts have pointed out that there is a possibility that the infection has spread and the understanding of the actual situation has been delayed as a result of insufficient understanding of infected persons and inadequate quarantine measures.
"In New York, it is probable that infection was beginning to spread late last month or earlier this month. Many people have been tested," said Dennis Nash, an infectious disease expert at the City University of New York. At last, the spread of infection has come into view. "
So far, infected people have been concentrated in urban areas such as New York and surrounding areas, and California, but in recent days it has also been found in places like New Orleans, Louisiana, Miami, Florida, and Chicago, Midwest, Illinois. The number of infected people is increasing.
