The epidemic situation continues to deteriorate, the number of hospitalizations in 42 states continues to rise
Recently, the number of newly confirmed cases in the United States has increased significantly in a single day, and the epidemic situation has continued to deteriorate. According to a report by CNN on the 21st, the number of hospitalizations in 42 of the 50 states in the United States continues to rise; many hospitals are still struggling with shortages of personnel and insufficient protective equipment.
The report cited data from the New Coronavirus Tracking Project that in the past two weeks, the number of hospitalizations in 42 states in the United States has increased by more than 5%. On the 20th local time, 10 states, including Iowa, Kentucky, South Dakota and Wisconsin, had a record high in hospitalizations due to new coronary pneumonia. The Wisconsin state government called on people to stay at home.
A doctor in Houston, Texas, said that he has not rested for 214 days, and the number of patients has been constant. Recently, the number of severely ill patients has started to increase again. A doctor in Rhode Island said that across the United States, due to the surge in cases, many hospitals have begun to overload again.
The US media pointed out that the shortage of protective equipment is still a problem today, and insufficient testing continues to hinder the US response to the epidemic. Haseltine, a former professor at Harvard Medical School, said that compared with the beginning of the year, the United States still has no progress in epidemic control; Americans should get fast and convenient virus testing, but this is not the case in many places.2020/10
