As millions of Americans prepare for Labor Day, fitness experts are concerned that the holiday weekend may cause an increase in COVID-19 in spaces that are already hot spots, and can discover how the fatal virus is spreading in the coming months.
To date, 186,834 have died and another 6,153,735 have become inflamed with coronavirus, figures that will only increase as the US increases.But it’s not the first time He’s approaching autumn and, with him, the flu season.Epidemiologists and state officials are imploreing Americans to remain in giant homes and gatherings despite pandemic fatigue.
“We don’t need to see a repeat of the outbreaks noticed after other holiday weekends,” White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN thursday, referring to the outbreak of new cases after Memorial Day and July 4.We don’t need to see a push, but especially when we move on to the other aspect of Labor Day and go into the fall.”
According to research through NBC News, the United States recorded more than 2,76093 new coronavirus cases in the two weeks after the July 4 holiday weekend.After Memorial Day, more than a dozen states and Puerto Rico recorded their highest case averages and hospitalization rates.
Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease doctor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, noted that sometimes accumulation is not unusual after public holidays because other people are more likely to spend time with giant unmasked equipment and forget about social distance.
“We’re going to have other ‘prudent’ people and other ‘reckless’ people, and I’m afraid we have too many carefree people this Labor Day weekend enjoying the last component of the summer,” Schaffner told me.They’re going to do it without masks, no social esttachment, they’re going to enjoy a lot of adult drinks in narrow aisles, and I think it’s going to be an accelerator for new cases.”
One of the main concerns, he told the Daily Beast, is that some local officials in Tennessee have allowed hidden court orders and other social estating measures to expire.
“We’ll have to keep wearing a long-term mask. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.I’m worried. In fact, we’ll see an accumulation and see new hot spots emerge,” Schaffner added.Laugh, be careful, wear a mask and when doing something with family members and neighbors, do it in small groups.”
Some government officials have pledged to ensure that cases continue to decline, warning incoming citizens and visitors about physical fitness restrictions and guidelines. In July, the United States recorded a daily case rate of about 70,000 cases. This staggering number has fallen to 40,000 and hospitalization rates have fallen to 37%.
“We want to get into the fall with a minimum in cases like we’re doing now.We threaten a lack of non-public responsibility,” said Deputy Director Brett Giroir, undersecretary of fitness at the US Department of Health and Human Services.A call to reporters on Tuesday, according to CNBC.”Why do we see this success? Because the national strategy works.”
While several of the most affected states during the summer, including California, Texas, and Florida, are experiencing an encouraging drop in cases, others in the Midwest are in the midst of an increase in COVID-19.and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield, warned that the center of the United States is “collapsing” as instances begin to stabilize.
“I think it is possible that new cases will be accentuated in the Midwest due to the recent spread of cases, but I also think it would be naive to think that each and every job in the country will not gain advantage from a construction on Labor Day. Work, “Schaffner said.
To combat possible construction in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday suggested that citizens continue to follow Labor Day fitness rules, noting that the holiday weekend may be a turning point for the state, which is already in a “precarious situation.”Despite calls from Republicans to absolutely open the state, Walz said federal fitness officials had told him there were worried precautionary symptoms in Minnesota, similar to Arizona’s before the great outbreak.As a result, he refused to loosen the restrictions before the summer break.
“Six months ago, I was hoping we’d come back to do all the things we were talking about: go to the state fair, watch football in high school, come in combination to see the Gophers on Saturday,” Walz said., the virus didn’t allow us to do that, and we have to stay alert.We have to stick to that.
In Massachusetts, officials remind the public of the orders the state has instituted for all visitors. Travelers from 34 states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico will also need to be quarantined for two weeks after arriving in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
In California, where a wave of damaging heat is expected over the weekend as the state fights wildfires and still exceeds COVID-19 case rates, officials are concerned about giant crowds.all beaches in the domain will only be open for four hours on Saturdays and Sundays, starting at 4pm 8pm
“This is a Labor Day weekend that will be full of celebrations,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti this week.”You have to cancel all the plans of the demonstration.”
The White House is also involved in the inevitable increase in new cases after Labor Day.Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, whose state posted 6.5 percent positive after July 4, said Vice President Mike Pence had asked state leaders to inspire citizens to overcome “they’re very involved with next Labor Day,” DeWine said Tuesday.”We can unite. We can have fun, but we have to be very, very careful.
Even Georgia’s governor Brian Kemp, who has been a prominent voice in favor of the country’s reopening, is calling on citizens to celebrate safely this weekend.On Friday, Kemp and his wife embarked on a state-to-state tour to inspire “four things for the fall” that will prevent the fatal virus.
Kemp took an excursion just before the fourth weekend of July 4.
“First, stay away socially. Number two, if you can do this, wear your mask.Keep washing your hands, cleaning surfaces and using the most productive practices we talked about the pandemic,” Kemp said Friday.”And finally, please abide by and apply the existing rules we have developed through our public aptitude officials in the decrees we have.”
State officials are also involved in the possible accumulation of COVID-19 cases in schools that open after the holiday weekend, as universities are already suffering from involving their epidemics.
Dr. Helmut Albrecht, president of the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of South Carolina at Columbia and Prisma Health, told the Daily Beast that the directors of his university were already dealing with more than 1,000 positive cases and were “concerned” about the holiday weekend.He believes that given the existing trajectory of instances, and the inevitable birthday party that will take place over Labor Day weekend, the university will soon be defeated by ill-health academics and directors.
“Students are a real challenge for the community.They may be asymptomatic and if they are, they will not hinder their social mobility at all,” Albrecht said.”And with all those parties that will take a position this weekend.Concerned. If we have thousands next week, we’ll be beaten and we won’t be ready for what happens.”
But despite calls from state officials to pay attention to caution this weekend to avoid a new wave of COVID-19 cases, Americans are still at risk and even travel across the country to absorb the last days of hot weather.
“Florida claims the highest percentage of Labor Day flight bookings this year, with 12% of all plans adding a destination in the Sunshine State,” according to this year’s TripIt online page, which noted that Labor Day flight bookings are only one-third of the 2019 figures.The increase in flights to Sunshine state, namely Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, occurs when the Florida Department of Health reported more than 640,000 cases of coronavirus in general in the state on Friday.
A Spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration told the Daily Beast that 887,698 travelers passed through the airport checkpoints on Thursday, 10 times more than April 14, compared to approximately 2,110,000 travelers passed through the airport on the same date last year.
But for Matthew Meltzer, an independent editor who travels from Kentucky to Miami this Labor Day weekend to visit his friends, going to a city still besieged by COVID-19 cases is valuable.”I sense there are many cases, but it’s just a running threat,” Meltzer told ABC News.”Life is full of threats.”
