US media: The average daily increase in the number of new crown cases in the United States in 7 days has reached a record

[Global Network report reporter Zhang Xiaoya] "The average daily increase in new crown cases in the United States (single week) has just set a record. CNN said that Johns Hopkins University data shows that in the week ending December 28, local time, the average daily increase in the number of confirmed cases of new crown in the United States exceeded 254,000, reaching 254496 million, exceeding the average weekly average daily increase of cases on January 11 this year, when it was 251989 million.

CNN said the record number comes at a time when the number of people infected with the coronavirus in the United States and other parts of the world has increased rapidly since last month, while the level of the average daily increase in cases is still rising.

"January is going to be a very, very difficult month." Ashish Jeha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, said: "People should be mentally prepared, there will be a lot of people infected this month. ”

A day earlier, CNN reported that in the week ending December 26, the average daily increase in confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States was nearly 200,000, reaching 198405, a 47% surge from the average daily increase in confirmed cases in the previous week, and a new high since January this year. In this regard, some Infectious Disease Experts in the United States warned that with the arrival of the holiday at the end of the year and the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, the number of new confirmed cases in the United States will continue to rise, and the number of new confirmed cases in a single day may exceed 500,000.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden responded in an online meeting with governors on December 27 that the U.S. government has no "federal solution" to the current U.S. epidemic and that states should resolve the crisis on their own.
