More than 50 million people have been recorded as infected and more than 800,000 have died in the United States since the start of the pandemic. The infection peaked in January, when more than 250,000 people were infected in a single day. Since then, Corona infection has made waves.
Now, however, reports suggest that in some places the situation is worse than ever. In Michigan, it has according to CNN The number of admissions last week was greater than ever before in the pandemic.
We have more patients than ever before, and we’re seeing people dying at a rate we’ve never seen before. The coming weeks look difficult. If this continues now while we go on vacation, we expect to have 200 Covid patients per day by the end of the month, says Jim Dover, CEO of Sparrow Health System in Michigan.
Depressed during corona
Young people are accepted
He told CNN that since January, with nearly 300 deaths, a quarter of those who lost their lives have been vaccinated. Young people are also among those being accepted now.
– We see many young people, and we still talk about not reaching the top, says nurse Katie Sifton, who describes the situation as difficult.
Nor is the situation only getting worse in Michigan. CNN wrote that compared to last month, the number of admissions in the United States increased by 40 percent, according to figures from the US Department of Health.
effect decreases
In recent weeks, too, things have escalated in New Mexico. Health personnel from the armed forces have now been brought in to assist. The state is currently experiencing some of the highest infection rates in the country. Hospital capacity is on the brink of collapse.
Few of the vaccinated people get sick. We are seeing the unvaccinated part of the population that is now suffering from a very aggressive form of corona, says Lieutenant Charles Falk. Reuters.
New Mexico was one of the leaders in vaccination earlier this year. Now, however, the effect of the vaccine is decreasing, and with it the infection is increasing again.
Vaccine opponents already hate it
Requires a vaccine from the staff
Now Christmas awaits family gatherings and the wide spread of the delta variant as a starting point. At the same time, just under 65 percent of Americans in the group to be vaccinated have been vaccinated. This situation prompted New York, among other things, to take action.
All private employers in the state must now require employees to be vaccinated by December 27, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday.
De Blasio’s announcement comes in the middle of a growing infection trend, at the same time as the new alternative Omicron is beginning to gain a foothold both in New York and elsewhere in the country.
The new rules mean, among other things, that all employees in the private sector who come to the workplace must be able to prove that they have received at least one dose of the Corona vaccine. They won’t be able to circumvent the requirements by testing them regularly instead.
About 184,000 companies, ranging from large conglomerates to small family-owned businesses, are affected by the new rules. There are 3.7 million people employed in the private sector in New York.
No other state in the United States has introduced a comparable vaccine regulation for the private sector, according to the National Academy of Government Health Policy.
