The U.S. may have its own version of a more portable coronavirus that may help spread the already invasive virus, the White House coronavirus action group said in the report their latest to states this week.
Reports sent by the agency to states dated January 3 warned of the potential of the “USA variant” of Covid-19.
“This fall / winter increase has been almost double the rate of increase as spring and summer go up. This acceleration suggests that U.S. diversification may have taken place here, in addition to the UK disparity that is already spreading in our communities and potentially be 50% more mobile, ”said reports obtained by CNN.
The task force called for an “aggressive mitigation… to match a much more aggressive virus.”
That discount should include the use of face masks, the action group said, and immediate vaccination of as many people as possible.
“Without effective front-end implementation (two or three ply and well-equipped) and tight social pace, epidemics could get worse as these variables spread and gain the upper hand. ”
The US has been monitoring issues of variability first identified in the UK that appear to be easier to move.
The pandemic continues as the country has turned its attention to a revolution at the U.S. Capitol and the confirmation of the influence of President Joe Biden, and the action group has continued to warns states about “aggressive community dispersal” after the holiday season.
“The United States remains at a record high of 140-150,000 confirmed and suspected COVID ingestions per week and 120-125,000 inpatients. Continued major declines, from California across the Sunbelt and up to the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast, despite low test rates during the holidays, indicate an aggressive spread in the community , ”Said the executive group’s reports.
The action group’s reports also call for the establishment of patient monoclonal treatment inclusion sites “immediately available to save lives.”
And as the country struggles to get Americans vaccinated quickly, reports say that “vaccines must now be put into arms. ”
“Do not delay the rapid vaccination of people over 65 who are at risk of serious illness; recommendation to create high-throughput vaccine sites using EMT staff to monitor for potential anaphylaxis and make full use of nursing students. Freezers should not have any vaccines but should instead be placed in arms now; The active and aggressive vaccination against this outbreak has saved lives, ”the reports said.
