  • United States. Florida alert for Covid-19: overflowing hospitals and youth hooked up to respirators

Coronavirus has no respite in the United States. At least four states, California, New Mexico, West Virginia and Oregon, have reversed their return to normality amid record numbers of contagion in many parts of the country. Only on Monday, 60,469 new cases of Covid-19 were registered, for a total of almost 3.3 million infections and which has already left 134,884 dead. The new epicenter points to Miami, where there are more than 2,000 people in intensive care units.

Florida recorded 15,000 new cases on Sunday, a national record that not even New York was able to reach during the worst days of the pandemic. Its 282,000 cases place it in 11th place worldwide, according to data from John Hopkins University. It widely surpasses countries like Italy and Germany and is a short distance from reaching the figures of the United Kingdom and Spain.

"What we saw in Wuhan (China) five or six months ago, we are seeing (in Miami) now ," epidemiologist Lilian Abbo, a county, Miami-Dade County, who has seen a 68% increase, told CNN. in the number of hospitalizations and 109% in the use of ventilators. The cases have gone from a few in late December to more than 50,000 that have occurred in all of Miami.

In California, Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered the closure of much of the state's economy as the pandemic progresses. The number of daily positives exceeded 9,000 on Monday and the 7,000 deceased, which has led him to apply stricter measures to those that he has been imposing in recent weeks. The indoor dining rooms of restaurants, bars, movie theaters, zoos and museums across the state have closed again. Nor will they be able to operate gyms, churches, hairdressers and shopping centers, among other businesses, in the 31 counties most affected by the infections. The measure affects almost 89% of the population of the Golden State.

"We have seen an increase in the spread of the virus, and so it behooves us all to seriously recognize that Covid-19 is not going to go away anytime soon until there is an effective vaccine or therapy," Newsom said in his media appearance. .

Newsom sounded the alarms weeks ago, warning of the possibility of returning to mandatory quarantines. In the days prior to the July 4 celebrations, it imposed the closure of beaches and shops in the counties hardest hit by the pandemic, with the idea of ​​preventing a new health crisis. Now, the measures affect the entire territory .

Restaurants with outdoor areas may continue to operate and sell takeaways. Bars with terraces can also keep up as long as they serve food. As for the cinemas, only 28 remained open until Monday. The blow to the Hollywood industry is being devastating .

In Texas, new cases recorded Monday totaled 7,473, with more than 10,000 people hospitalized, prompting Houston Mayor Democrat Sylvester Turner to raise the possibility of a new quarantine for two weeks. Texas was one of the first states to reopen its economy and is now experiencing a severe regrowth, a situation similar to that of Arizona.

From the Trump Administration the message continues to be a mixture of denialism with optimism . On Monday, a government official assured that doses of a vaccine against Covid-19 will begin to be produced by the end of the summer. "We are probably four to six weeks away" from vaccine components entering the production and manufacturing phase, he said. The goal is to emit positive signals to keep the economy open through thick and thin.
