New outbreaks of coronavirus infection are alarming not only among doctors, but also on Wall Street.
On Saturday, June 20, according to Reuters.
With states abolishing quarantine measures and resuming economic activity, new outbreaks of the epidemic have appeared in the southern and western United States.
Officials attributed the sharp increase in the number of infected people to the fact that mass testing is being conducted in the United States, but doctors say that this factor cannot explain such a sharp increase in both infected and hospitalized with severe COVID-19. So, according to official statistics, over the day the number of detected cases of infection increased by 30.9 thousand, and the total number of infected reached 2.26 million.
The situation was commented by the doctor of the emergency department in the hospitals of Arizona Murtaza Akhter.
“Obviously, cases are growing rapidly. This is not just a matter of testing, the expert said. “The real concern is what awaits us next week or two.”
Ahter admitted that the last time the US epidemic reached its peak, Arizona’s medical system was one step away from collapse since the hospitals were completely full.
According to Reuters, the bleak prospects of the United States provoked fluctuations on the New York Stock Exchange.
