At one point, New York City was the clear epicenter of thecoronavirus pandemic In the United States, but despite a staggering number of cases, the city has largely managed to contain the epidemic. During this time,Covid-19 continues especially In the countries of the country, with a rapid increase in cases, hospitalizations and positive test rates. With so many simultaneous tips, it can be difficult to know where to focus our attention. Appearing on the news of the CBS 'Face the nation July 5, former FDA CommissionerScott Gottlieb, MD, has identified four new epicenter of the pandemic.
"We are back where we were at thepeak of the epidemic At the New York epidemic, "Gottlieb told CBS News'Margaret Brennan. "The difference is that we really had an epicenter of propagation when New York was going through its difficulties, we now have four major epicnets of propagation." These are the Gottlieb areas are the most concerned. And to look at where the numbers are improving,These are the only two states where COVID-19 cases fall.
1 Los Angeles
While Gottlieb mentioned three other states like new epicenter, he distinguished the city of Los Angeles by his name. This is because the situation is particularly desired in the county of L.A., which has reached a record forNew cases of a single day July 3, according to theLos Angeles Times. Hospitalizations in the county also increased 41% over the last three weeks.
California as a whole does not turn much better, withGOV. Gavin Newsom socketDRASTIC MEASURES try to slow downQuick tracing of coronavirus cases in the state. As of July 6,The New York Times Reports around114,900 COVID-19 cases In Los Angeles, with about 3,485 deaths. And for more gottlieb's insight,"We must accept that we are in the second wave," said the former head of the FDA.
2 Texas
Gottlieb cited "cities in Texas" as another of the four new epicnets.Hospitalizations in the state have reached a critical point, with two counties exhorting residents to "shelter in place" because of aLimited number of ICU beds remaining.

There are currently almostCoronavirus Cases 200140 in the state, and about 2,665 deaths. And for more states that struggle to slow the spread,These 4 states have just made mandatory facial masks.
3 Florida
While Gottlieb called "Florida cities", he is not the first to identify the state as a new epicenter for the pandemic of the American period, experts sounded the alarm of Florida status as theNext Coronavirus Epicenter in June. Things have only aggravated in the state since. Florida is at aLevel of risk "critical" By COVID ACT Currently, thanks largely to a positive test rate of nearly 18% and an infection rate of 1.35, which means that the virus extends quickly. Florida currently hasMore than 200 100 Covid-19 casesand about 3,730 deaths. And for more states in the red,These 6 states are now in COVID-19 critical situations, experts say.
4 Arizona
Arizona is the fourth state Gottlieb called a new pandemic epicenter and with good reason. The state has theHighest positive test rate in the country - he has now reached25.6%. This is one of the reasons why Covid Act now puts Arizona in the "critical" category, but also mention the high rate of infection (1.18) and the lack of available ICU beds.
