　　According to US media, the number of confirmed cases in 40 states is increasing, and Arizona, Texas, Florida and California are becoming new hot spots in the epidemic. The number of new cases in the United States in a single day may reach a new high of 60,000 cases this week.

　　According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, since June 30, the number of new cases in the United States in a single day has exceeded 43,000 for 6 consecutive days, both of which are higher than the peak level in April. Among them, the number of new cases in a single day on July 3 reached 57,000, a new high since the epidemic.

　　Fudge, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on the 6th that the United States is still in the first wave of "knee" outbreaks. He described the recent epidemic situation as a kind of "rebound", "superimposed on an epidemic curve that we did not press down to the end."

　　Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms said on social media on the 6th that his new coronavirus test was positive, but no symptoms. Georgia, where the city is located, has also experienced the largest increase in the epidemic recently. There are currently 97,000 people infected in the state, and at least 2,878 people have died.

　　Florida has more than 10,000 new cases in a single day. However, the state government has ordered all public schools to reopen in the fall and enable students to attend school. Officials of the state's education department said that if other public places can be reopened, the campus should not be excluded.

　　For the surge in cases, the White House said it was mainly due to the increase in the number of tests. US President Trump's recent remarks that "99% of the confirmed cases are harmless" have also caused public opinion to question.

　　Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Institute of Global Health, believes that curbing the new crown epidemic depends largely on people's behavior. However, some US official statements tend to mislead the public into thinking that "there is no major outbreak" or "even if infected, it is no big deal." "Neither statement is correct."

　　Although the U.S. government continues to increase virus detection efforts, some cities still face testing capabilities. The New York Times reported that at a test site in New Orleans, the test reagents were used up after opening the door for only 5 minutes. In Phoenix, local citizens have to wait in line for 8 hours to be tested.

　　Phoenix City Mayor Gallego said, "The United States needs a more robust national virus detection strategy."

　　Since restarting the campaign rally in China in June, Trump has not worn masks in public, and the event did not require participants to maintain social distance or wear masks. This week, he will also go to New Hampshire to hold a campaign rally.

　　"Avoid the crowds." Foch reminded the American people again, "If you want to participate in social activities, maybe there are only one or two people, then go outdoors. These are the most basic, everyone can do it now." (End)
