The new variant COVID will increase in these states, explains the expert
Former FDA chief also stated that this could take longer for a "national wave" to grow.
The daily rateNew COVID cases in the United States has fallen radically since Omicron's overvoltage has reached its peak in mid-January. But after falling for nearly three months, the national average of daily infection hasplanted to about 30,000 In the last two weeks, depending on the data ofThe New York Times. Now the experts warn that theBa.2 Highly contagious Omicron Subvariant could cause overvoltage cases, some states carrying early weight. Read on to see which areas could see another wave of viruses.

Northeast and Florida could see an increase in the new COVID variant in the coming weeks.
Due to the renewal of COVID cases in countries such as Germany and U.K. In recent weeks, experts warned that the United States could see its ownUPCTICK IN INFECTIONS On the basis of the crowded reliably abroad, preceded an increase in the United States. During an appearance on CNBCBox April 5,Scott Gottlieb, MD, former Commissioner at Food & Drug Administration (FDA), stressed that any future overvoltage would probably affect some states first.
"This will probably be centered in the Northeast, maybe Florida," he predicted. "I think that when he begins to spread at the national level, we will already be at the bottom of the summer, and that will provide a seasonal backstop."
This can take until the fall of BA.2 to reach certain areas.
But while cases can go back in the coming weeks, Gottlieb was also quick to stress that it considers that the current case levels are "considerably" under-reported in certain regions due to the increased use ofTest kits at home. He estimated that only one in seven or eight infections is counted in official reports in areas such as the Northeast.
The old head of the FDA has also become particularly optimistic that the United States can actually be further in Ba.2's expected thrust that many achievements adding that overvoltages in Germany and the United Kingdom that define bells alarm in the United States already seems to decrease quickly. "I think we're farther in that we perceive," he said.
Specifically, Gottlieb said even if a BA.2 wave sends backup cases: "This is probably not a national infection wave" as previous surges. "We will have to deal with that in the fall," he saysBox. "If [Ba.2] is still the dominant variant in places in the country that it did not really understand at this time, it will start spreading in the fall while the immunity of people begins to produce, they become further from their vaccination and their earlier Omicron infection.

The subvariant BA.2 was declared the dominant version of the virus to the US last week.
The prediction of Gottlieb comes a week after BA.2 has been declared thedominant version of the virus As of April 4, April 4, the last subcase represents 72% of cases, according to data from disease control and prevention centers (CDC). As a comparison, extremely contagious viral extraction - estimated between 30 and 80% more transmitted than BA.1 subcaptivarial that led cases to their pandemics in January - only about 1% of VVID variants. in the USA. February, CNBC reports.
But even as a plateau case, some officials pointed out that a combination of factors could helpSoften last subcasque. "The high level of immunity in the population of vaccines, boosters and previous infections will be a certain level of protection against BA.2" CDC DirectorRochelle Walensky, MD, said at a Covid Briefing of the White House on April 5th.
Other main officials predicted that the United States is likely to avoid a major increase even if any cases are likely to rise.
Gottlieb was not alone in his prediction that the last viral offsses can not haveas much impact like his predecessors. During March 22ndWashington Post LiveEvent, Top House White Covid AdvisorAnthony Fauci, MD, says it was likely that the United States will see aput up in the caseSimilar to what has been experienced in Europe, BA.2 continues to spread in parallel with a relaxation of restrictions and the degradation of immunity in the population. However, he does not think the wave will be similar to that brought Omicron.AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
"I would not be surprised at all if we see a little increase," he said. "The extent of it and the extent to which it affects the severity of diseases such as hospitalizations and death remains to be seen. I do not really see, unless something changes dramatically, that there would be a major increase. "
