The British Guardian newspaper published an article predicting that America will witness the frightening spread of the Corona pandemic next fall and possibly the risk of rupture.
Four months after the pandemic, she said, the results of HIV testing for individuals are still being delayed, protection equipment and emergency rooms are still insufficient, and the United States is still mired in itself in a struggle for life, partisanship, and lack of trust in science, led by An incompetent president who does not care about the suffering of the Americans.
As the flu season approaches and the presidential election approaches, President Donald Trump is calling for the return of millions of students to schools in the fall, which appears to put the country at risk of rupture due to the expected disagreement about this, the report noted.
Peak return
The report quoted William Hanag, Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard University's School of Public Health, as saying that he feels as if last March, the peak period, is back again in connection with the increased incidence and death of corona.
The report stated that injuries increased nationwide by 50% over the past two weeks, and the number of daily deaths increased by 42% over the same period, as cases increased in 40 out of 50 states, in addition to Washington, DC and Puerto Rico. Last week, America recorded an average of more than 75,000 new infections a day, a figure five times the rate for all of Europe.
"It is a very worrying trend," said epidemiologist Jennifer Nozo at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
Seasonal flu is on the way
The report warns that despite the current dire situation, the coming months seem worse because the annual seasonal flu outbreak in the autumn can hinder the state's ability to combat coronaviruses in other ways, as one of the country's top health officials said that the two viruses have similar symptoms (fever, chills and diarrhea) Fatigue), and faulty diagnoses may delay the care of some patients until it is too late, and the outbreak increases.
Other factors such as the hasty reopening of schools in the fall, without the safety measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will play a new critical situation, with unknown consequences for children.
New factors for exacerbation of proliferation
And the list of circumstances that could exacerbate the situation in the fall, that is, after the month of October next, will be longer. The federal unemployment assistance program that gives both people without work an additional $ 600 a month is due to end at the end of this month, in addition to Congress suspending a new relief package from Corona due to Republican accusations that the states are wasting money, and their insistence that any new legislation should It protects the companies that were reopened during the epidemic.
The report also says that the ability of the United States to take the essential steps to slow the spread, as dozens of other countries have done, is in doubt. After a full half-year, the Trump administration has made no effort to develop a national protocol for testing and tracking individual communications and subsidized isolation, the three-pronged strategy that other countries control the outbreak.
