WASHINGTON: Summer which should mark American independence from Covid-19 as a lot of drawing close to the US is more assertive under the tyranny of the virus, with death per day back to where they are in March.
Delta variant filled the hospital, sickening the number of worrying children and encouraged the death of Coronavirus in several places to the highest level of all pandemics.
The school system that reopens their classrooms suddenly turned to distance learning because of the plague.
Law disputes, threats and violence have erupted the requirements of masks and vaccines.
The US death toll road stands at more than 650,000, with one major estimated model that projects the top of 750,000 on December 1.

“Delta variant wipes the time line completely.” It shouldn’t be like this.
More than six months into the drive of US vaccination, President Joe Biden held a White House party on the fourth of July to celebrate the freedom of the country from the virus, and other political leaders had great hopes for the summer close.
Then the bottom falls.
Summer waves are driven by extra-contagious delta variants combined with resilience with vaccination formed along the political and geographical lines, said Dr.
Sten Vermund, from Yale School of Public Health.
“The virus is more efficient in spreading among those who are not vaccinated so that you blunt the expected vaccine benefits,” Vermund said.
The crisis increased rapidly from June to August.
About 400,000 Covid-19 infections were recorded for all June.
It took all three days last week to reach the same number.
The US recorded 26,800 deaths and more than 4.2 million infections in August.
The number of monthly positive cases is the fourth total of the highest since the start of the Pandemic.
Delta-driven 2021 attacks are killing younger Americans with a much higher level than the previous wave of pandemics in the last spring, the sun belt in the summer of 2020 and a deadly winter surge around the holidays.
During the peak of the waves, Americans more than 75 suffered the highest proportion of deaths.
Now, the most vulnerable age group for death is 50 to 64.
Overall, the plague is still far below the peak of all time achieved during the winter, when death ends at 3,400 days and new cases at a quarter million per day.
The US now averages more than 150,000 new cases per day, the level is not visible since January.
Death is close to 1,500 per day, up more than a third since the end of August.
Even before the Delta variant became dominant, experts say there are indications that a greater meeting and relaxed social distance steps trigger new cases.
“We have worked hard for more than a year and everyone wants to come out,” said Dr.
David Dowdy, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
“In the face of strong behavioral changes, even getting nearly two-thirds of our vaccinated adult population is not enough.” The Covid-19 vaccine remains very effective against hospitalization and death, but many dozens of millions of Americans who meet the requirements are still not vaccinated.
Nearly 40% of Americans aged 12 years and over are not fully protected.
Yale’s Vermund saw the reason to be carefully optimistic about the next few months.
Cases in most states seem to be a plateau and tend to decline in the fall, buy health authorities more time to vaccinate adults and adolescents before the flu season.
“If we can continue to make progress between now and Thanksgiving, we may be able to substantially blunt the Coronavirus surge in the flu season,” Vermund said.
While the economy has rebounded strongly over the past few months, hiring sharply slowing in August in a sign that the variant dropped Americans from flying, shopping or eating.
And on Monday, unemployment benefits – including an additional $ 300 per week from the federal government – running out of millions of Americans.
Buttons, the North Carolina chef, feel happy towards the summer.
His team was mostly vaccinated in May and restrictions loosen.
But the crisis immediately changed direction.
The button supports the mask of the mask that has just been restored in the area but said the employee was exhausted by having to uphold it.
And because he doesn’t have outdoor seating, some visitors are not comfortable in.
“It’s hard to move forward and then take three steps back,” he said.
