The situation with coronavirus in the United States is taking a threatening turn: according to the forecasts of epidemiologists, the number of daily infections in the country may soon grow more than two times. While the imminent appearance of the vaccine can not count: experts hope that it will be available only early next year. Not conducive to the normalization of the situation and political climate — Republicans and Democrats continue to argue about how to cope with the virus.”It will be very hard. I promise you,” this phrase became one of the most memorable at the briefing the head of the US infectious diseases Anthony Fauci and his colleagues. According to Mr. Fauci, the bad situation is due to the fact that in some parts of the country have seen a resurgence of the disease, and now affected regions still under threat, despite the stable situation.”We can’t focus only on those regions where there is a new flash, because it would threaten the whole country,” said Mr Fauci and made a gloomy forecast: the number of daily infections from the current 40 thousand people can grow to 100 thousand, if “the situation does not turn around in the opposite direction”. “I think it’s important to tell you and the American people that I am very concerned that the situation may become horrible,” summed up the infectious diseases.The Director of the Centers for control and disease prevention Robert Redfield agreed with his colleague: he noted that in the South-East and South-West of the country “significantly increasing” the number of diseases, and in 12 States, increased in frequency hospitalized. Both experts urged the United States in the future to respond to the epidemic in a coordinated manner, leaving everything at the mercy of state governments. “We have suffered from a simple virus. Now people have realized what was happening, and it’s time to invest in the public health system at the local level, at the level of States and at the Federal level. It is necessary that in our country there was a system of health care that they deserve,” said Mr. Redfield.He also dispelled doubts about the possibility of gaining immunity from COVID-19: now only 5-8% of Americans are faced with COVID-19 and bring this figure to 75-80% may take several years. “But how long will this immunity? One, two, three, four, less? Maybe a few months? We don’t know,” said Robert Redfield. Mr. Fauci in turn, said, there is no guarantee that the United States will develop a safe and effective vaccine COVID-19. However, he still expressed hope that the vaccine will already be available to the public in early 2021.Mr. Redfield also noted that in the US there is no possibility to establish a system of contact tracing of infected COVID-19 people, as is done in South Korea, Singapore, and New Zealand first, the pace of sarajini too high, and secondly, in some counties, the information is still recorded manually.However, at least one of the famous Americans in the mask never saw the US President Donald trump. In recent days the most prominent Republicans, including the Republican majority leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell, urged to follow the advice of medical experts. Wear a mask the head of state appeal and his loyal supporters loyal to him on the Fox News channel. “I think if the President put on the mask, it would be a good example. MAGA (Make America Great Again.— “B”) is now supposed to mean “the masks returned to its former greatness”,”— said in the broadcast channel anchor Steve Dusi, to paraphrase a campaign slogan of Donald trump.”Unfortunately, this simple measure that can save lives, became a part of political disputes: if you are for trump, you don’t wear a mask. If you’re against trump, you wear it. The President has millions of fans, they follow his example. He can put an end to this dispute. The stakes are too high to continue,” said the Republican Senator from Tennessee Lamar Alexander.Political opponents of the head of state also did not forget to criticize it. “He called himself a wartime President. What now? It’s almost July and our wartime President, it seems, surrendered, waved the white flag and left the field of battle,” fell on Donald trump its most likely future rival, Democrat Joe Biden. He urged the country to introduce compulsory social distancing and mandatory wearing of masks. “We can’t defeat the virus half-hearted measures. Mr. President, we need a President,” said Mr. Biden.The answer was not long in coming. “While Joe Biden for the last five months trying to come up with a plan, the President implemented his own, which slowed the spread of the virus, has made us a leader in the testing and re-launched our economy,” said Democrat Deputy press Secretary to President Ali Pardo.”I see the ugly face of the pandemic spreads across the globe as it causes terrible damage to the USA. I am more and more mad at China. People see this, and I can feel it!” — wrote the head of state in Twitter.Alexey Naumov
