US corona virus: New York says it ‘tames wild animals’ from coronavirus while some countries look at hospitalization records

As of Saturday, coronavirus cases are still increasing in 18 states – some of which are on record or near record highs. In 17 states, the numbers tend to be downward, and the numbers remain stable in 13 states.

The increase in coronavirus cases in some countries is not necessarily the second surge, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top expert on infectious diseases.

“However, when you start to see an increase in hospitalization, it is a definite situation that you should pay attention to,” he said Friday.

Early hotspots saw a big increase

After the epicenter of the pandemic as home to the largest and most populous city nationally, the state of New York has made major changes.

The number of deaths related to the virus has fallen further in New York as most states are heading for a full reopening, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said Saturday. The state reported 32 lives lost due to the corona virus, the lowest number since the pandemic struck. And Covid’s hospitalization was at 1,734 on Saturday, the lowest since March 20.

“We have done it, we have tamed wild animals, we are now 180 degrees on the other side,” Cuomo said.

While New York has made a lot of progress, he said, almost half of the country hasn’t. He noted that nearly 20 countries had experienced a surge in coronavirus cases.

“This is a scary moment,” Cuomo added. “We thought we had passed it. Well, the beast is fixing its ugly head. Half the state has improved. New York is just the opposite.”

And in Oregon, Governor Kate Brown gave a seven-day pause to move forward by reopening the rise in cases that followed restrictions on relaxation. “This is basically a yellow light throughout the state,” Brown said.

Some increase in cases may be the result of further testing. The number of new tests reported per day in the country has generally tripled since mid-April, according to data collected by the Covid Tracking Project.

Officials urge people to continue to follow social distance recommendations and wear masks in public, among other CDC guidelines.

Most Americans follow the guidelines

While the pandemic shows no signs of slowing down, the good news is that most Americans have followed guidelines on how to fight it.

Nearly 80% of Americans surveyed nationally said they had isolated themselves last month, according to the CDC report released Friday.

Nationally, 74% of those surveyed said they wore face masks in public either always or often.

And 84.3% of those surveyed believe their country’s mitigation strategy is the right balance or even not strict enough, the survey team, led by CDC Michael Tynan, said in the agency’s weekly report.

“Most adults report that they will not feel safe if community mitigation strategies ordered by the government such as fixed orders at home and business closures that are not important are lifted nationally at the time of the survey, although a small number of adults today who do not feel safe want restrictions this was revoked despite the risks, “the team concluded.
