Valensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said on the 20th that 83% of the newly confirmed cases are expected to be infected with Delta variant strains, and the proportion is even higher in some areas.
Valensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States:The CDC released a forecast that the delta strain should now account for 83% of new confirmed cases in the United States, a significant increase from 50% in the week of July 3. In some parts of the United States, the proportion is even higher, especially in areas where vaccination rates are low.
Valensky also mentioned that the CDC will release the latest mask wearing and travel guidelines after the discussion in order to consider the spread of the Delta mutant strain. Recently, the core indicators of the epidemic in the United States, such as new confirmed cases, deaths, and the number of hospitalized cases, have rebounded significantly. According to CNN reported on the 20th local time, Johns Hopkins University statistics show that the average daily increase in confirmed cases in the United States in the past week increased by 66% over the previous week, and increased by 145% over the previous week. The average daily death rate increased by 13% over the previous week.
Vivek Murthy, director of the US Public Health Bureau, said in an interview that the United States had been deceived by novel coronavirus many times. As soon as the number of new cases began to decline, people thought the epidemic was improving, but it soon broke out again. So Americans should be vigilant unless the epidemic figures fall and remain low. Fauci, director of the American Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that if more people are not vaccinated, the United States will usher in a "haze" of the epidemic for quite a long time.
