The chief contagious disease expert in the United States and director of the American Institute of Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauchi, said that America is still "mired" in the first wave of infections with the emerging coronavirus, and must act immediately, to deal with the recent increase in cases.
He said the number of injuries had never reached a satisfactory basic level before rising again, which he warned officials risked dumping hospitals in the southern and western United States.
"It is a dangerous situation, which we must deal with immediately," added Fauchi, in an interview yesterday, via the Internet, with the director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins.
But Fauchi stressed that he did not consider the continued rise in injuries a "wave."
He stated: "It was an increase, or a return, an increase in the number of injuries."
He added, “If you look at the charts from Europe, the European Union as an entity, it rises and then it drops to the basic level. Now they have some fluctuations, as expected when trying to lift the closure measures. ” In the United States, the number of injuries rose, "and it has never decreased to the most basic level, and we are now witnessing a new rise." An alarming number of new infections was registered, amid an increase in the number of cases, forcing several states to suspend measures to reopen their economies in stages.
My debate, one of the most prominent members of the US President Donald Trump's team working on fighting the Corona virus, has turned into a trusted face in the administration's battle against the epidemic.
Officials have warned that some American hospitals face the risk of fullness, due to the influx of "Covid 19" patients.
It is reported that hospital beds in Texas are full, while calls for residents to stay home increase.
Some mayors reported that their cities were opened prematurely, at a time when Trump was trying to downplay the severity of the crisis.
