According to the Associated Press, the current summer in the United States means many infectious diseases in terms of the coronavirus, but the death toll is relatively low compared to previous versions of the virus.
COVID-19 still kills hundreds of Americans every day, but the virus isn’t as dangerous as last fall and winter.
“It’s going to be a good summer and it’s worth this break,” Ali Mokudad, a professor of health metric science at the University of Washington at Seattle, told AP.
COVID-19 has turned into an unpleasant and inconvenient nuisance for many, at least for the foreseeable future, as more Americans are protected from serious illness by vaccination and infection.

“It’s like having a bad cold or the flu,” said a woman in Massachusetts recently.
She also said, “If I get it, I get it — and I get over it.” She said she was boosted against double vaxxed and COVID.
In some places, many Americans wear masks when entering a grocery store or going to other public places, even if they don’t need a mask at the store or venue. Many are still obscuring outdoors when they are in large crowds.
Some shops still require masking to enter.
Yet other Americans do not want anything to do with the mask at this point.
“I feel cautious now,” Dr. Dan Kaul, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, told AP.
“It’s the first time I remember, but we haven’t had anything since it started. [coronavirus] Patients in ICU. “
As we approach July 4, this year, the average number of deaths per day from COVID-19 in the United States is about 360.

Last year, during a similar summer decline, the number was around 228 per day in early July.
This remains the lowest daily death threshold in the United States since March 2020, when the virus first began to spread throughout the United States.
Today, in the third year of the pandemic, it’s easy to get confused by mixed images.
However, far fewer cases were reported during this period last year, less than 20,000 per day.
Currently, it’s about 109,000, and tests done at home aren’t regularly reported, so it’s probably underestimated.
Today, in the third year of the pandemic, it’s easy to get confused by the complexities. APs report an increased likelihood of repeated infections, and a significant proportion of infected individuals will face protracted symptoms that have become known as long COVIDs. -19.
But now many worries have been alleviated.
Dr. David Daudi, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told AP.
“What we see is that people are getting more and more sick on average,” Daudi said.
According to one influential model, AP points out that 8 out of 10 people in the United States are infected at least once.

Recently, the COVID-19 mortality rate has become a moving target. Data analyzed by Mara Aspinall, a health industry researcher at Arizona State University, are now within the average flu season.
Initially, some said that the coronavirus was not as deadly as the flu. “And for a long time it wasn’t true,” Aspinal said.
At that time, people were not immune. The treatment was experimental — and the vaccine was not yet available in large quantities.
According to Aspinal, increased immunity today has definitely reduced mortality to the range of the typical flu season. (In the last 10 years, influenza mortality has been about 5% to 13% of inpatients.)

When vaccination first became widely available in the United States last summer, the United States had to suffer from delta surges and subsequent omicrons. Omicron peaked in February last year, killing 2,600 Americans a day.
Experts said that the rapidly prevailing Omicron subtypes BA.4 and BA.5 could also contribute to changes in mortality.
Experts agree that new variants may emerge and escape the population’s accumulated immunity. The rapidly prevailing Omicron subtypes BA.4 and BA.5 may also contribute to the change in mortality.

According to Hopkins Daudi, the virus is spreading rapidly this summer, so consider the vulnerabilities of yourself and those around you, especially at large gatherings.
“There are still people who are in great danger,” he said.
However, many vaccinated Americans avoid yet another booster.

“I have been double vaccinated and once boosted,” a New Yorker told Fox News Digital. “That’s enough. There’s no better booster for me.”
He also pointed out in his “civilian” opinion (he is not a doctor) that people dying with COVID today are likely to have pre-existing conditions or other complications.
