"It's about thinking this week," Osterholm said the recent death of Covid, jump on the count of the Americans lost. "We are now at 564,292 registered. If you mean an individual name respectfully every three seconds who died of Covid, it would take 19.6 days without stopping to do it. It's thinking. And non-English, global. Level, where we know that there has been a major subcategory of cases is 3,025,835, that if you did the same thing, saying respectfully, each of these names, which they are Personally, it would take 105 days to state the name of everyone who died of Covid 19 in the last year.

These states could have epidemics of Covid like Michigan, he warned
Osterholm said that "I do not know" when asked to predict the future - this virus is so unpredictable - but stated that it existed "the potential of these other states - at least 12 to 15 states where Things could take off and be so bad as Michigan. "He mentioned" Mississippi, 29% had at least one dose in that state, 30% in Alabama, 31% of Louisiana, 32% in Tennessee ... only 19 % in Alabama "-" If we do not change the level ofvaccination Beyond where it is now in these states: "It's the assumption of someone," he said.

"So on March 21, it increased by 61% of 55% of the previous month, but 61% means 39% of the population is still not likely to obtain the vaccine without additional education or fair . They are not going to get it at this point. We do not really understand what they will take for these extra people to be vaccinated. We are probably about 27 to 30 million adults away from to be vaccinated before hitting what they call the limit enthusiasm. And that means that at that time, in 15 to 20 days we can see that the number of vaccinations has fallen precipitated because we do not can more get people. And I think it's going to be a real challenge. So it's going to be a big problem, hesitation of vaccines and what it means. "
Globally, India struggles and we can learn from them
"Unfortunately," says Osterholm, "World deaths are also upwarding more than 83,000 reported last week. We know that deaths are recognized in many countries to start." Cases are out of control in India. "I have heard more and even more and even if we have just done it like India did, they had a way in one way or another, having reached this concept of flock immunity , on the basis of what he did not see great epidemics, they did not have the need for those who notes are covering Lockdowns and we do not have that we have no AIS are not straight. ... .well, I think India is by far the best example of the reason we need to pay attention, he said.
