More than 100,000 people infected with coronavirus in the United States Concerns about increasing deaths due to tight medical care November 6, 4:32
In the United States, where infection with the new coronavirus is spreading again, the number of newly reported daily infections exceeds 100,000 for the first time, and there are concerns that the tightness of medical institutions will lead to an increase in deaths. I will.
According to a summary by Johns Hopkins University, the number of new cases of coronavirus infection reported in the United States on the 4th was 102,831, the highest number ever, exceeding 100,000 for the first time.
According to a survey by a private organization, the number of hospitalized patients continues to increase almost nationwide, reaching more than 52,000, and more than 10,000 are being treated in the ICU = intensive care unit. The level is approaching the time of the spread of infection in July.
As the number of patients increases, the burden on medical institutions is increasing in some areas.
According to local media, ICUs are almost exhausted in Minneapolis, a large city in Midwestern Minnesota, medical institutions are starting to send patients to hospitals in other areas, and South Dakota is temporarily in a building that has not yet been constructed. There is a concern that some patients may die without receiving appropriate medical care due to the tightness of medical institutions because they have created a hospital room to accommodate patients with relatively mild symptoms.
From this month to next month, the United States will enter a season of active movement of people such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, but several experts said that it could trigger the spread of the infection on a national scale as soon as possible. I am complaining that measures are needed.
