Record number of hospitalizations

  According to the report, on the 27th, although 20 states did not report data, there were still 125,000 new confirmed cases in the United States, 1,319 new deaths, and a total of more than 260,000 deaths.

Up to now, the number of newly confirmed cases in the United States has exceeded 100,000 for 25 consecutive days.

  The Epidemic Tracking Project pointed out that due to the Thanksgiving holiday, it is expected that states will report fewer confirmed cases and death statistics in recent days.

Experts predict that these numbers will "catch up" in the next few days.

  In addition, the number of hospitalizations related to the new coronavirus infection in the United States exceeded 90,000 for the first time.

There are 17,802 COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit, which is also the highest value recorded during the epidemic.

  Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Americans not to travel on Thanksgiving last week, many Americans still travel and meet with their families during the holidays.

  Jonathan Reiner, a professor of medicine at George Washington University, recently predicted that within 10 days after Thanksgiving, the daily death rate will double, possibly reaching nearly 4,000 deaths a day.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that nearly 60,000 people will die due to the new crown in the next three weeks.
