The U.S. government predicts that the number of novel coronavirus infections in the United States may increase to 100million this autumn and winter. U.S. government officials asked Congress to increase funding for epidemic prevention A senior federal government official with unknown name and specific position made the above prediction at a briefing on the 6th. He said that the above prediction is based on a series of external models closely watched by the government.
At the same time, several experts predict that by the autumn and winter of this year, in view of the gradual weakening of the effectiveness of the vaccines people have been vaccinated, the relaxation of epidemic prevention measures in various places and the emergence of new mutant strains, a new round of COVID-19 may break out in the United States.
As the death toll of the new crown in the United States approaches 1 million, the Biden administration has relaxed some epidemic prevention measures in recent weeks and asked Congress to approve special funds for epidemic prevention. In March this year, the Biden administration asked Congress to urgently allocate $22.5 billion for epidemic prevention, and agreed to reduce the allocation to $10 billion after bipartisan bargaining in Congress in April.
However, after the Biden administration decided to cancel the policy of expelling illegal immigrants related to the epidemic, the two parties in Congress have renewed differences, and the anti epidemic funding has not been in place so far.
The United States has nearly 82 million newly diagnosed cases and nearly 998000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University on the 6th.
