The US should prepare for a Covid-19 surge this summer that could hit southern states the hardest, according to a former Trump Administration official.
The White House has a speaker on November 19, 2020.
People's natural immunity to Covid-19 infections may decline over the course of six to four months when coronaviruses surge in other countries.
A year ago, the United States had a surge in Covid-19 followed by a lull, where everyone thought it was over.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the seven-day average of new cases rose by 122% over the past month to 56,166 per day.
We should be prepared for a summer surge in the southern United States because we saw it in 2020 and 2021.
A jump in Covid-19 infections may not be accompanied by a surge in deaths due to the high transmissibility of the coronaviruses. Over the past month, Covid-19 infections have more than doubled, but average Covid-19 deaths have decreased.
Public health experts have warned the public not to be lulled into a false sense of security as Covid-19 vaccinations and treatments become available to younger people and Americans grow more comfortable gathering in person. According to the CDC, the seven-day average number of Covid-19 hospital admissions has increased by 14. The omicron variant has been linked to a fourfold increase in child Covid-19 hospitalizations, with unvaccinated children more likely to be severely impacted. The administration is planning to make Pfizer's Covid-19 antiviral pill Paxlovid available at pharmacy across the U.S. in an attempt to reduce hospitalizations and other negative outcomes.
According to a book released last month, the Covid-19 response by the Trump Administration made the Pandemic worse and put the public at risk. The New York Times reported in 2020 that Birx encouraged administration officials to believe that the epidemic would end in the spring. After being relieved of her position as Covid-19 adviser by the incoming Biden Administration, she thought about quitting because she felt ineffectual in her role in the Trump Administration.
There is a total of 991,030. According to the CDC, there have been cumulatively reported Covid-19 deaths in the US as of Sunday.
The Trump Covid advisor says the book will be published in 2019.
