At present, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 38.21 million, and the cumulative deaths have exceeded 632,000.
Many key figures such as hospitalized cases continue to rise, and medical resources are becoming more tight.
However, even in such a severe situation of the epidemic, protests against vaccination and wearing masks have occurred in many parts of the United States, and social confrontation has intensified.
According to the ABC on the 25th, citing data released by relevant US federal agencies, there are currently more than 100,000 hospitalized cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States.
Among them, the hospitalization rate of patients under the age of 29 reached a new high.
Currently, the number of children hospitalized in the United States has increased fivefold compared to July 4.
In addition, the average number of child deaths per day has increased by as much as 281% in the past six weeks.
Due to the high number of new cases, medical resources in many places are in short supply, and medical staff are exhausted.
The utilization rate of intensive care beds in at least eight states in the United States exceeds 90%, and the intensive care beds in Arkansas are used up.
Nurse in the intensive care unit of a certain place: The
nurses are really exhausted physically and mentally. I don't know if they can survive the next cycle.
However, due to the long-term politicization of the U.S. epidemic prevention and control, even if the epidemic is severe, the opposition in American society around basic epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks and vaccinations is still very serious.
On the 25th, in New York, some teachers and school staff held a protest to oppose the vaccination policy.
In Texas and other places, there are also constant disputes between parents of students over whether to wear masks for their children.
