First signs of Thanksgiving COVID-19 wave emerge

The United States has averaged nearly 200,000 new confirmed cases a day over the last week, according to The Covid Tracking Project, run by a group of independent researchers. More than 2,200 people a day have died on an average during that period. The number of patients being treated in hospitals has crested 102,000, the highest levels of the pandemic.

 

There are some hopeful signs that the third wave is ebbing in parts of the Midwest. The number of newly confirmed cases has declined for two straight weeks in 10 states, including hard-hit Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and New Mexico.

But new data shows other states experiencing substantial increases. In Alabama, where authorities reported about 14,000 new cases a week through middle and late November, case counts jumped to more than 22,000 in the first week of December. Georgia’s case counts rose in early December by about 50 percent from its November figures. Florida cases spiked to 65,000 last week, a substantial increase over its averages last month.

“I wish every person could spend 30 minutes in the corner of an ICU. They would have a very different sense of reality,” Osterholm(director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Prevention at the University of Minnesota)  said. “When people start dying in emergency rooms because they can’t get a bed, maybe that’s when Americans will get a different sense of reality.”
