However, he added that there were even more daily cases than to love.
With the cases of coronavirus lighting a large part of the country, scientists have had their eyes on many figures, but it is distinguished in particular: the mortality rate. The director of the CDC, Robert Redfield, spoke yesterday withDr. Howard BauchnerofAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION JOURNAL About this number - and why he feels that he will finally start going in the right direction after walking weeks.
The mortality rate should fall next week
"You and I will see the cases continue to fall. And then, hopefully this week and next week, you will start to see that the mortality rate is really starting to fall again." he said. "I think we will start seeing a drop in mortality across the country now next week, while we continue to get control of these cases." He added that it takes time for mitigation measures, such as wearing face masks, social distancing and closing of certain places, as has been done in hotspots like Florida, Arizona and the Texas - to show their real impact. "It is important to understand that these interventions will have a gap, that the delay is going to be three to four weeks," said Redfield. "Let's hope this week and next week, you will start to see that the mortality rate really starts to fall."

Nearly 175,000 Americans died of Covid-19

"The seven-day average of the country for daily deaths overcome 1,000 for at least 24 days in a row." Although Redfield predicts that the number decreases, he added that there were even more cases daily than he would like. "I like seeing us in 10,000 cases and obviously see less jurisdictions and fewer jurisdictions than we consider in the red zone."

"The forecasts of the entire state and the territory predict that the number of new deaths announced per week can increase over the next four weeks of Colorado and may decline in Arizona, the Northern Mariana Islands, Vermont and Wyoming."
Redfield, for its part, strongly encourages the use of the face mask and avoiding crowds so that the numbers flourish, especially in Central America, which could go anyway.
"Average America right now has remained blocked," he said. "That's why it's so important for Average America to recognize the mitigation we talked about ... It's for Average America too, Nebraskas, Oklahomas."
"We do not need to have a third wave in the Heartland right now," he said. "We have to prevent it."
