Tomlinson: five months of COVID failure 10 months after end

Five months.

As soon as possible, we can expect a reliable coronavirus vaccine in five months. If we can be waiting properly, the general public will have to wait five months before enough other people are incommunicated for life in general to recred a little.

Five months is also the age of the pandemic in the United States, think about everything we’ve been through, everything we’ve learned and everything we’ve been through, duplicate it, and that’s what we can be waiting for before the end of the year.the year.

We have to do better.

The virus is spreading at a rate that sickens more than 50,000 Americans a day.Daily deaths stabilized at around 1,200.By September, we will be in the 6 million cases shown and 200,000 deaths.

TOMLINSON’S TAKE: Take on the merit of COVID’s anger to bring economic justice to life

In Texas, we’ve overtaken some of a million cases and 10,000 deaths, and we’re adding another 7,500 cases per day.The coronavirus is relentless and we won’t have to be pleased.

From the beginning, epidemiologists have emphasized the importance of isolating patients and measuring spread in the network by calculating the positivity rate.

We have to do better.

To save lives and save the country’s economic health, we want to control millions of people a day.However, inexplicably and unforgivably, verification is slowing down.Last month we spent 750,000 more people according to the day on average, but this month the so-called health care formula in the world is marking only 733,000 according to the day.

Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Institute for Global Health, told television news channels that the lack of verification makes it difficult to understand the pandemic. The United States checks five million people a day and takes effect in two days, he said.

Jha told NPR that he was involved in testing in Texas, where frustrations with long queues and long response times mean fewer cases are detected.The percentage of other people who tested positive in Texas is 10% when containment is less than 5%.

“In fact, many of them take longer than three to five days, in which case their usefulness actually decreases. And I can believe that doctors ask for fewer checks. People are less willing to accept a check if they don’t get a result soon.” added. Jha said.

Federal checkout tsar Brett Girior told CNN Friday that the U.S. doesn’t have the ability to succeed at five million lab checkpoints a day, but announced Friday that the FDA would approve a less accurate pin check, which he said would help next month.

We have to do better.

Once we have met people in poor health, we will need to allow them to avoid the spread of the virus without problems. To do this, we want touch tracking to ensure that each and every user exposed to a carrier is also examined and isolated..

Other countries have robust public fitness systems and inspire others to use cellular phone programs to make touch search undeniable and effective.This is not the case in the United States, where we have skimped on public fitness to save money on taxes, and conspiracy theorists.are creating paranoia towards follow-up programs.

Our physical care formula is also lacking in essential painters, many of whom are minorities.These other people tend to live with giant multigenerational families and pictures in places like nursing homes and assisted living centers that are hot spots for COVID -19.- The first numbers die inexcusably.

We have to do better.

Finally, neither political rhetoric nor non-public will can stop or prevent the virus.As the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has shown extensively this week, forcing others to gather in a closed area will create hot spots harmful to viruses, no matter what we say.

TOMLINSON’S TAKE: COVID costs Texans unnecessarily billions every day

As the summer ends and others need to go back to the pictures and move to enclosed places, the virus will explode and the economy will prevent others from searching for ports again.governments will have to anticipate some other economic paralysis.

Experts may also be wrong, and I hope they are, but this summer would probably have been as smart as before a vaccine came.Reducing the number of people receiving government aid from $32 million to $20 million is perhaps the most productive we can do, and the unemployed will want help.

This summer, the economic upturn is basically due to expired government systems.The loss of this stimulus will slow economic activity by 3%.

We want national leadership for public fitness and economic responses.We want national leadership to advertise safer private behaviors, such as wearing a mask and restricting exposure to threats.

Over the next five months, we want to do better.
