These 10 states of coronavirus epidemics are now "critical", say experts
According to researchers, these states have COVID crises that will be difficult to contain.
Thecoronavirus pandemic continues to cause ravages throughout the country, with some living states devastatingSpike in COVID cases and hospitalizations. COVID experts act now, who compile the data to determine which states are experiencing or the highest risk of coronavirus propagation, continued to update their color coded card. As of July 13, there are 10 states that are marked in red. On the basis of the rate of infection, the positive test rate, the availability of the ICU and the number of contact tracers, it is the states with COVID epidemics that are "critical". And for more areas to keep an eye on,The CDC warns that these are the 10 hot spots of the following coronaviruses.
1 Alabama
AlabamaHigh infection rate (The average number of people from a sick person infected) of 1.18 and a positive test rate of 14.1% in the "critical" category. The state also has a risk of maneuver from ICU beds, and not enough contact tracers to trace new coronavirus cases, according to COVID ACT. While the COVID mortality rate has been generally broken down, Alabama has recently been identified as one of the states where theNumber of weekly deaths is on the rise. According toThe New York Times, there was almost53,600 cases of coronaviruses In the state on July 13, with more than 1,1220 deaths. And for more states that should consider a stop,These 14 states examine another lock, say Harvard's researchers.
2 Arizona
Arizona has recently been cited as one ofNew epicenter of the pandemic In fact, in fact, it is one of the four states responsible forhalf of all new cases of COVID in the countryside. Like Covid Act notes now, Arizona has a dangerousHigh positive test rate 26.6% and a "critical" lack of available ICU beds. FastHospitalizations up In the state, doctors have forced doctors to institute a scoring system to determineWhich patients will receive COVID care. There are currently nearly 122,500Coronavirus Case in ArizonaAnd there were about 2,240 dead.
3 Florida
As Arizona, Florida is considered one of the country's current Covid epicentsters, as well as one of the four states responsible for half of all new COVID cases.The situation of the Florida ICU It is also just as critical, the law on Covid now says and the high positive test rate (19.3%) and the rate of infection (1.22) do not contribute to the questions. On July 11, Florida broke the country's file forNew Covid News Unique by any state with 15,299. There is now more than269,800 coronavirus cases Overall, and more than 4,240 dead. And for more states requiring immediate intervention,These 6 states need another lock, Harvard researchers say.
4 Georgia
As one of the first states toend of lockGeorgia has been on expert radars for months now. And the situation in the state certainly need follow - up: COVID ACT now emphasizes aHigh infection rate 1.24 and a high positive test rate of 14.6%. But once again, it is the decrease in the number of ICU beds that puts Georgia in the "critical" category. The state currently has almost108,400 cases of covidation, with about 2,950 deaths.
5 Louisiana
Louisiana has been one of the latest additions to Covid Act's "critical" list now, thank you largely to aLimited number of contact tracers: The state has only seven percent of the number they needed to trace all new coronavirus infections in 48 hours. But Louisiana also has a high rate of infection of 1.29, which means that cases propagate quickly - at the end of last month, it was one of the states whereNew cases have doubled within a week. As of July 13, there is 78,230COVID case in LouisianaAnd there were more than 3,415 dead.
6 Missouri
In order to attempt to mitigate the propagation of Coronavirus, Saint-Louis has recently established aMask mandate Through the city - but the Missouri did not follow suit. They may want to reconsider, on the basis of the evaluation of COVID ACT now. As with Louisiana, it's theLack of contact tracers This put Missouri in the "critical" category, but the state also has a high rate of infection of 1.21. Who has resulted in29,170 coronavirus casesand nearly 1,115 deaths of Covid. And for more states experts worries about,Dr. Faisci has just warned that these states are increasingly "vulnerable".
7 Montana
Montana has recently been identified as one of the states whereCoronavirus is spreading the fastestAnd the situation has worsened since then. The state currently has a"Critical" infection rate1.41, the second highest in the country: it means that active cases increase exponentially. Currently, almost 1,760COVID case in Montana, with a little less than 30 dead - but the numbers rose at an alarming rate.
8 Caroline from the south
TheCoronavirus epidemic in South Carolina is more severe than epidemics in several other countries.New COVID cases are up 999% since reopening. It's not a surprise, while South Carolina wins acritical evaluation" COVID ACT now. POSITIVE INFECTION AND TEST RATES - 1.14 and 16.7%, respectively, are high. But even worse dangerously low contact tracers and available ICU beds. On July 13, South Carolina is just under56,650 cases of covidation, with more than 960 deaths. And for a perspective in which states must return to Lockdown,The "only option is to close" in states that do not do that, the doctor warns.
9 Texas
Texas, epicenter of the current coronavirus crisis, is another of the four states responsible for half of the new cases in the United States - and according to COVID ACT now, the state does not haveEnough ICU beds or contact tracers to manage the situation. There was a recentPush for face masks During Texas, with representatives of the state tooExhort residents in place in place. With a rate of infection of 1.22 and a positive test rate of 16.1%, the course correction will be a challenge. Texas has now completed264 800 Case Coronavirus, and there were nearly 3,250 dead.
10 Western Virginia
By COVID ACT now, Western Virginia has theHighest infection rate From any state to US 1.42, a "critical" number that reflects an exponential increase in new cases. Otherwise, the state figures are decent, although Western virginia requires more contact tracers to find more than 34% of new COVID cases. On July 13, there is a little more4,240 coronavirus cases in the state and about 95 deaths. And for more information up to date,Sign up for our daily newsletter.
