Not a single American state is "on the right path of containing Covid", say researchers
Even states that seemed to have controlled their epidemics see an increase in VVID numbers.
As thecoronavirus pandemic continues to hit states across the country, it became more difficult to keep track of theStates with the worst epidemics of COVID. At this point, new cases of coronaviruses, hospitalizations and deaths increase nationally and, while the numbers are certainly more alarming in some states than others, there does not seem to be a state. has been completely spared. Now the COVID team is now acting health professionals, epidemiologists and other experts - have updated their COVID risk card to confirm the huge situation:Not a single American state is currently "on the right path of containing Covid".

COVID Now Law Used to determine the risk based on four criteria: infection rate (the number of people as the middle medium infective), positive test rate, ICU availability and number of contact tracers. They have now added a fifth indicator, new daily cases. In the case of Connecticut, the most recent state to be green, which was sufficient to move it in the category of "Growth of controlled diseases. "While Connecticut is in the green when it comes to almost all the indicators, the state gets a yellow badge for 2.2 new daily cases for 100,000 people, which means" non-contained covid, but to low levels. "
Unfortunately, COVID ACT researchers are now not the only ones to conclude that no remaining state has reached containment. Color coded card Harvard Global Health Institute, in which the risk is evaluated on the basis of new daily cases,Do not have green states That is.
So what about states that have been announced as coronavirus stories?Anthony Fauci, MD, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), recently said that New York "did it correctly" inCovid container. It is true that the former epicenter of the pandemic in the United States is in a much better position that it was once, but as shown by COVID ACT data, New York always knows "Growth of controlled diseases"Based on ainfection rate 1.02 and 3.7 cases of new daily cases for 100,000 people.
These cards show that there are multiple metrics to consider when it comes to determining whether a state has controlled their outbreak or not.The New York Times reports that Arizona, Delaware and Maine see alldecliningFor example, but these states are at different levels of risk. Arizona, in fact, is currently "critical", according to Covid Act now, thanks to aHigh rate of new daily cases (42 per 100,000), high secondary test rate (23.4%) and grave number of ICU beds.
Rest assured that the current situation, while distress, does not mean that any hope is lost. The many yellow states on color coded cards could transform green with the good efforts to slow the spread of the virus - including the combination of the above-mentioned social distancing andmasks. In the meantime, however, these cards are a coolness reminder that thePandemic of Covid is far from over. And for states requiring immediate intervention, check these11 states where locks again is absolutely necessary.
