Nationwide coronavirus cases are falling from their July peaks and some worst-hit states are showing signs of improvement, an encouraging sign even as the country faces around 1,000 deaths from COVID-19.
The news is further overshadowed by the negative truth of pandemic control in the country.
Although the scenario is not as bad as in July, when instances peaked at around 70,000 compared to the day, the virus still circulates in the United States at a very high level, with about 40,000 new instances on the same day, according to COVID. Follow-up project.
And while other countries are experiencing a resurgence lately, the United States is doing much worse than the rest of the evolved world. The European Union, for example, with about a hundred million more people than the United States, has much less than a share of new daily cases, according to Our World in Data.
The overall scenario is no longer worsening nationally in the United States and mitigation measures are beginning to show its effects. Governors in many of the most affected states, such as Arizona, Florida, and Texas, after resisting action in the first place, have implemented measures such as final bans and permit authorizations for local masks, measures that experts say have helped those states improve.
The stage comes as Republicans watch to take a positive turn on pandemic revelry at their conference this week. Democrats have criticized figures like President Trump, Donald John Trump Cohen: ”I make sure this won’t work out for anyone who has arranged the interview with Woodward. Pompeo says that “there is a great possibility” that Navalny’s poisoning will be ordered through a senior Russian official. Trump says he will “almost certainly” read woodward e-book, MORE economic adviser Larry Kudlow, Larry KudlowMORE, to mention the pandemic in the past.
Marta Wosińska, a Duke University fitness expert who is running the Covid exit strategy, an assignment to track the virus in the United States, said many states “are doing better than they are, but they are still in that dark red area. Array “
“Obviously, he may do a lot better. ” “It is a much higher point of spread. “
To date, there have been more than 5. 8 million cases in the United States and more than 179,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. The United States accounts for about 4% of the world’s population, about 25% of its cases.
The experts pointed out that the component of improvement is due to the fact that other people are starting to take the virus more seriously and that masking is more frequent, after the first signs combined on this front, and that any complacency or abandonment it can cause a sudden increase.
Arizona, once one of the most affected states, has noticed dramatic improvement after Republican Gov. Doug DuceyDoug DuceyArizona urges the state to “unmask. “symptoms of improvement MORE (R), which first and foremost withstood more powerful measures, closed bars and allowed localities to ask for masks.
According to the COVID Tracking Project, new instances have gone from around 3500 a day in early July to less than 1000 a day, and the state has even fallen off the New York quarantine list for incoming travelers.
“Things are definitely getting better and improving dramatically,” said Joe Gerald, a fitness expert at the University of Arizona, about the state situation.
“Of course you can give a penny, ” he added. ” We’ve noticed what happened when we lose our state of alertness and let things get back to normal. “
And for the rest of the evolved world, he said, America is way behind: “Everyone has done more than us; not just a little more, they did it a lot more. “
But he said that dressing up in a more widespread mask had definitely helped Arizona, as had the closing of bars, and that it’s hard to see how bars can reopen safely while the pandemic is still in full swing.
Another major factor is the severity of autumn. The upcoming flu season, combined with coronavirus, as students return to school and the colder climate forces more indoor activity in tighter spaces, has raised fears of a resurgence.
However, there is uncertainty about the precise effect of these points, some points imply otherwise. If other people are now more accustomed to precautions and are more comfortable with masking rules and crowds, this would help lessen the spread of coronavirus and influenza.
However, there have been symptoms of caution from reopening schools, especially universities, where parties can spread the virus quickly.
The University of Alabama has reported more than 500 cases since the categories resumed. The University of North Carolina switched to virtual categories after 177 of the 954 academics examined were placed in isolation after testing positive.
“We’re still at a higher level,” said Catherine Troisi, epidemiologist at UTHealth School of Public Health in Houston. “It’s moving in the right direction, but honestly, I’m involved in schools. “
Experts said the school’s delight remains doubtful and depends on the severity of the outbreak in the surrounding area, as well as how the school implements protection guidelines.
Gerald, of the University of Arizona, said he is “cautiously optimistic” that the country can spend the fall without having to re-complete house stay requests, if others continue to wear masks, social distance and more specific measures like a bar. the closures remain in place.
According to Covid’s exit strategy, only 12 out of 50 states have noticed an increase in the number of new instances consistent with the day in the last two weeks. Illinois and Iowa. The most consistent cases with capita are found in southern states such as Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama.
But experts warned that loosening restrictions or that others would be complacent and less cautious in their daily lives would lead to new spikes.
“Nationally, the numbers seem to be declining a little,” said Robert Bednarczyk, an assistant professor at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health. start alleviating those restrictions. “
