U. S. Veteran Wears Face on Memorial Day
The news comes as some Americans said they would be willing to get vaccinated if scientists could find a vaccine, according to a new ballot from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Josh Michaud, associate director of global fitness policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington, said, “This is a dark time. This is a reminder of how harmful this virus is. “
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, issued a stern warning after watching a video showing crowds gathered on Memorial Day at a swimming pool in Missouri.
He said: “We have a stage where you see this kind of crowd without a mask and other people interact. This is unwise and invites a scenario that can spiral out of control. Don’t start skipping some of the recommendations in the rules because it’s tempting fate and looking for trouble.
After months of closures in countries around the world, places began reopening in stages. The Mediterranean beaches and Las Vegas casinos have planned to welcome tourists back. Churches began to open. And others uneasy about being cooped up indoors for weeks began venturing outdoors en masse, without practicing safe social distancing or wearing protective coverings.
Summer is already a time when more and more people go out. This year, that also means the national political conventions in the United States, where the two major political parties nominate a presidential candidate.
The events regularly attract thousands of delegates and others who converge over several days. Fauci said it’s too early to say whether this year’s conventions will be held normally.
“If we have a significant minimum in the number of new instances and hospitalizations and we’re at a point where it’s low, you may have some collection capacity,” he said.
“But we have to reserve judgment now, because we are a few months away. Hopefully we will see that decline. If we don’t, I would have significant reservations about it. “
And public fitness experts have warned that more deaths are coming.
“Despite the terrible losses noted and the many demanding situations Americans have faced in this pandemic to date, chances are we are still in the early stages,” said Josh Michaud, associate director of global fitness policy. at the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington.
“In the U. S. , we can imagine a long pandemic summer with a slow burn of cases and deaths. There are also reasons to worry about a new wave of infections in the fall. Therefore, we are not out of the woods yet.
Separately, South Korea has announced a surge in new infections and the reimposition of social distancing restrictions, revealing setbacks for other nations on the road to reopening. It reported 40 new cases, the largest daily increase in just about 50 days.
As many as 4 of the cases occurred in the densely populated area of Seoul, where the government is struggling to prevent transmissions similar to nightclubs, karaoke parlors and a massive e-commerce warehouse. All were reopened last month when social distancing measures were relaxed.
Worldwide, the virus has inflamed more than 5. 6 million people and killed more than 350,000, adding about 170,000 in Europe, according to a tally of government reports from Johns Hopkins University, which experts say does not show the full extent of the pandemic.
The United States has reached more than 100,000 deaths in less than 4 months.
In the United States, President Donald Trump several months ago attributed the coronavirus to the flu and dismissed considerations that it could cause so many deaths. Since then, the administration’s most sensible scientists have warned that as many as 240,000 Americans could die in the country’s outbreak. .
According to the AP-NORC poll, a portion of Americans said they would get a covid-19 vaccine if scientists running to create one were successful.
The ballot found that 31% were sure to get vaccinated. Aher in five said they would refuse. Of the Americans who say they wouldn’t get vaccinated, seven in 10 worry about safety.
