Infections and hospitalizations are on the rise
This week, the country broke claims records, with an average of new cases of seven days of more than seven days reaching 68,767 Sunday, by Johns Hopkins University.
Admiral Brett Giroir, a member of the Working Group on the Coronavirus of the White House, is also concerned by the recent increase in cases, contradicting the notion of President Trump that the CIRP of new cases results from an increase in tests.
"The tests can identify other cases, I think it's clearly true, but what we see is a real increase in the number," he revealed during aWashington Post Live event Tuesday. He explained that in March and April, it was likely that one of 10 or 15 cases was identified because of the tests. And although it is impossible to compare directly at that time, "compared to the overvoltage of the post-commemorative day, even if the tests are rising, it is a real increase in cases", did he declare.
He also pointed out that hospitalizations increase. "We really have a mixed image, but we are tenus now. We must really re-engage the public health measures we know the work, otherwise these hospitalizations can increase considerably," he said.

Gottlieb recently published an OP-ED forWall Street newspaperTitle "Winter arrives: It is time to make a mask mandate", urging policy makers to consider enforcing the fundamental prevention method. "A mandate can be expressly limited to the next two months," he wrote. "The inconvenience would allow the country to maintain health capacity and maintain more schools and businesses open."
The Republican Health Officer, who worked under Trump, added that "States should be able to choose how to apply a mandate, but the objective should be to make masks a social and cultural standard, not a political declaration."
Dr. Anthony Faucirecently echoed the notion. "If people do not wear masks, so we should might be mandated," he suggested.
