Omicron in Europe sounded the alarm for the United States

Due to the high prevalence of omicrone, Anthony Fauci, a senior infectious disease expert in the United States, predicts that omicrone will be the predominant species in the United States “in the next few weeks” and could put pressure on hospitals, IRNA reported Monday. Which are already under increasing pressure to increase delta virus infections.

Given that not enough information is yet available about the new strain, including the severity of its pathogenicity, scientists are waiting for more information on the rise of the disease internationally to better predict the severity of its damage to the United States.

But a number of health experts in the United States have said that evidence shows that the coming weeks will be difficult weeks ahead of the United States, with Michael Osterhome, director of the Center for Infectious Diseases Policy and Research at the University of Minnesota. “It’s a complete storm in every way.”

Omicron has seen a sharp rise in the number of cases in Britain and Denmark. According to statistics, both countries recorded a record number of daily infections per week.

Fauci warned of the inevitability of morbidity and mortality due to the winter and the further spread of the flu, saying that this could put a lot of pressure on our hospitals.

So far, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported an omicron incidence rate of 3 percent nationwide, reaching about 13 percent in states such as New Jersey and New York.

U.S. experts predict that the omicron will become the dominant corona in some states by the end of the year, with the rest of the states having the highest incidence of omicron in January.

Focusing on increasing vaccinations in larger populations and using booster vaccines is the most important tool in preventing a severe increase in Omicron infection, US experts say.
