U.S. disease control experts: U.S. new crown deaths will increase to 500,000 by mid-February

　　On January 17, local time, Dr. Rochelle Varensky, the incoming director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview that the United States will "enter a period of darkness" and it is expected that the number of deaths from the new crown virus will be accumulated by mid-February. The number of cases will reach 500,000.

　　So far, the new coronavirus has caused nearly 400,000 deaths in the United States.

Dr. Varensky said: “This does not include the impact of the emerging syndrome in thousands of recovered patients.” Dr. Varensky said that some patients with the new crown still tested positive for months after being tested positive. Reports of new coronary symptoms, the CDC cannot yet explain this phenomenon.

　　Dr. Valensky also said: “We have not seen the consequences of holiday travel and holiday parties on hospitalization and mortality. I think we are facing a dark period.” (CCTV reporter Liu Xiaoqian)
