The US surgeon said on Sunday that he was worried about what was in front of Covid-19 cases increased in every state, millions still not vaccinated and a very contagious viral variant spread quickly.
Noting that almost all the death of Coronavirus is now among tens of millions of people who have not received shots, despite the availability of a widespread vaccine, Dr.
Vivek Murthy paints images that cannot be delayed by the future.
“I am worried about what will come because we see the increasing case among those who are not vaccinated in particular.
And temporarily, if you are vaccinated, you are very protected by hospitalization and death, unfortunately it is not true if you are not vaccinated,” said Murthy in the country CNN section.
US Covid-19 cases last week increased 17,000 nationally over a period of 14 days for the first time since the end of falling, and the increase in death historically followed a surge in disease.
Most of the problems that deteriorated driven by the Delta variant were first identified in India, which has since hit Britain and other countries, Murthy said.
While the US case number and hospitalization are still far below the level of pandemic earlier this year, Murthy said the deteriorating situation showed the need to convince more people to get inoculation.
“This is the fastest, most effective way of this pandemic,” he said.
About 186 million Americans have received at least one shot, but 90 million Americans who qualified have not.
Officials tried to overcome rejection among several conservative people, rural white – for vaccinated, but it was unclear how to do it.
So, while at least, some places have been returned to health prevention measures that have been beside.
In Las Vegas, several resorts and casinos have again required employees to wear masks in response to recommendations issued by health officials amid increasing Covid-19 case levels in Nevada; It ranks fifth among US countries for new cases per capita for the past two weeks.
Los Angeles Regency at the end of Saturday returned the rules that needed everyone to wear a mask in public buildings.
Around the San Francisco’s Bay Area, which has several highest levels of vaccination in California, health officials have recommended that everyone see masks in public buildings, regardless of their vaccination status.
But in Conservative Alabama, where hospitalization Covid-19 has more than doubled in a month and only about one third of a fully vaccinated population, officials have refused to repeat health rules throughout the state or use gimmicks such as lances to increase immunization , “I think the best thing we have to do is encourage everyone to use their common sense and practice personal responsibility and make themselves and their families are safe,” said Gov.
Kay Ivey told reporters last week.
The cases were also increasing in Springfield, Missouri, where Mayor Ken McClure told CBS-TV faces that false information about the pandemic hindered the fight to make people vaccinate.
“I think we see a lot of deployment through social media when people talk about the fear they have, health-related fears, what might be done towards them in their lives, what might be contained in vaccination,” he said.
Murthy, a general surgeon, said “not enough enough” progress was being made in the war against errors of information spread through social media about Covid-19 and vaccines.
Individuals, not just a platform like Facebook, need to fight the problem, he said.
“We each have a decision that we make every time we post something on social media, and I ask people to stop and see, is an accurate source? Does it come from credible authorities scientifically? And if not, or if you Not sure, don’t share it, “he said.
