The United States reported a record high of 306 cases of coronavirus variants on Sunday, most of them in Florida, Michigan and Texas, USA Today reported.
The new cases included 104 new infections in Florida, for a total of 605 in that state; 85 in Michigan, for a total of 421; and 41 in Texas, for a total of 102. Although various new strains are known to be circulating in the United States, most new and existing variant cases are B.1.1.7. strain originating in the United Kingdom. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the British strain could become the most common in the country next month.
In general, coronavirus cases fell in February after reaching an all-time high in January, but there are signs that the decline is slowing or reversing. Most states reported an increase in the number of cases in the last week for the first time in more than a month on Sunday.
Both variants and trends come as the US continues to administer the coronavirus vaccine. Over the weekend, Johnson & Johnson began distributing the photo after receiving emergency use authorization and becoming the third vaccine available.
The White House said Johnson & Johnson will focus on distribution sites as of Tuesday and will distribute millions of single-injection vaccines across the country over the next week, along with existing Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. CDC data show that just under 50 million Americans have received at least one dose of vaccine.
Anthony Fauci
Anthony Fauci “SNL” provides Fauci as a show host, offering the vaccines to the winners Sunday shows – the reappearance of Trump, COVID-19 vaccines and variants dominate Fauci sets the timetable for vaccination of adolescents, children, the nation’s top expert on infectious diseases, said the vaccines will be largely effective against emerging mutations.
“When you get a variant that diminishes the capacity of the vaccine, when you get a good vaccine … you can’t necessarily get the best possible response, but it’s still in the pillow of effectiveness,” Fauci told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. .
