The rise of the omicron version of covid 19 in the United States can be seen with the naked eyes and with the increasing cases the hospitals are being under a lot of stress to provide complete care and protection to the infected patients with the omicron virus.
More Than 1 Million Infected Patients Were Detected On Omicron Cases
While COVID-19 infections continue to skyrocket to unprecedented numbers following the festivities, President Joe Biden would brief the American public about the rising cases of the omicron version in the country. As per research, the positivity rate has doubled for the infection over the last week and it has become a very serious issue for the public health care departments.
The surge in highly pathogenic infections nationally demonstrates a clear pattern of yet another wave of the deadly combination of both versions of the covid 19 virus.
According to the data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 million new daily cases have been recorded in the United States on Monday and it might increase to 2 million cases every day if the omicron strain will travel at such a pace.
Furthermore many medical experts are claiming the fact that it’s possible that not every positive case is being registered with the public healthcare department because of the rise in home-based COVID-19 testing. Even some agencies have also stated that these self-testing kits are not very effective and might require free testing after some time.
President Joe Biden has promised to provide the American Population with half a billion testing kits so that there is no shortage of testing facilities in the country and has even directed the state medical authorities to set up new locations to increase testing in the country.
Although as per the reports, people are in favor of in-person teaching. Although the surge in the children’s cases in the United States has put the government in the dilemma of whether schools must be reopened and schools across the country are advocating to remain open.
It must be noted that there is also a shortage of school staff due to the rising omicron cases amongst the school authorities too and this makes it a more debatable topic.
The vaccination rate amongst the kids is not up to the expectation level of the medical agencies in the country and it revolves around 35 percent only and it must be taken into consideration that most cases amongst the kids have been detected from the unvaccinated.
In the United States, more than 90 percent of the omicron cases are from the nonvaccinated population and it has become a serious threat for the vaccinated population according to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Also, The Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of booster doses for children aged 12 to 15 due to the rising cases amongst this group.
