Health officials are asking Americans to socially distance this Independence Day, saying that they are"concerned" about the surge in coronavirus cases after the U.S. on WednesdayFor every confirmed case, officials are likely missing another 10 cases, said Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a press conference Thursday.
While"we’re still in the first wave," Redfield said the pandemic today looks markedly different from the outbreak two or three months ago, when many deaths were among older people and those with underlying medical conditions.As COVID-19 has spread, the CDC is seeing a greater proportion of cases diagnosed in younger people, said Dr. Jay Butler, CDC's deputy director of infectious diseases and COVID-19 response incident manager.
That shift could be due to older people being more cautious and following mitigation guidelines such as wearing masks, socially distancing and frequently washing hands. Meanwhile, some young people are seeing lingering effects of the disease, including persistent fatigue and shortness of breath, Butler said.When he tested positive for coronavirus, he prepared for 2 weeks of misery. Months later, he was still sick.
The CDC isn’t transparent,an extension of the media, an extension of the democrats, it’s summer, go out and have fun, this virus is weak and only shows major symptoms in the elderly and people with chronic illness. CDC is over-reacting to protect their cronies.
