The Omicron Covid cases in the US have significantly decreased this week. The declining curve of new Covid infection cases has given a ray of hope to the citizens. The citizens are hopeful that the pandemic is soon going to end and we will be back to normal.
The Experts Suggest That The End Of The Pandemic Is Still Far
Some states in the USA have been witnessing fewer cases and reported at least a 30 percent decline ratio. On Thursday, The State of New York Released the data and announced a 47 percent reduction in the covid 19 cases, and the positivity rate has also declined by 50 percent and stood at 11 percent.
But on the other hand, some states have started to raise concerns over the rising cases. However, medical experts and scientists have the same view. According to the medical officials in the country, some states are yet to achieve peak time. The winter surge is not yet over and even after the other half of the country is reposting less number of cases as compared to the previous week’s results.
The analysis and studies conducted by the researchers suggest that despite the decrease in Covid cases the end of the pandemic is a distant dream. The CEO of Pfizer also stated during a press meet that the end of the pandemic is not possible at least this year and might end after 2024 and it also completely depends on how people react to the vaccines.
Also, he stated that there will be a dire need for the fourth vaccine as the current two-dose vaccination and booster shots won’t be sufficient enough to handle future strains of the covid 19.
The Omicron variant wave in the US has started to subside. There have been a smaller number of new Covid cases in various parts of the country. Furthermore, the hospitalization and death rate are still rising in many parts of the country. Many experts say that the peak of the wave is yet to board and it will be a very tough time for the nation.
According to the latest reports issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the recent 7 day average of Covid cases revealed a significant fall of 8% in three days in the United States. This is considered one of the greatest milestones by medical experts and we must work in sync if we want to end the pandemic very soon.
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been urging the entire American Population not to be over-enthusiastic as only cases are reducing, the pandemic is still alive in the US. Also, he stated that the harsh time may come soon again. The Covid cases are rising sharply in many parts of the country because the omicron variant entered these states in the latter half.
The administration urges people to be agile and take their vaccination and booster dose at the earliest to facilitate the closure of the pandemic.
