Top health officials of Pennsylvania warned the officials on Monday that the state might run out of ICU beds within one week. A doctor sadly told CNN in Minneapolis about caring for five coronavirus patients the last time she worked. Two of them shifted to hospice care, and another woman died in her 80s. Her patient is also a patient of the viral disease.

The director of hospital medicine at Hennepin County Medical Center, Dr Shirlee Xie, expresses that no one can describe how caretakers feel to see that kind of suffering from their patients. She adds that it is possible for the hospital to add beds and other medical equipment, but health officials cannot create doctors, nurses to take care of patients. Everyone is really afraid of what’s to come.

Latest Surge in cases caused by people without symptoms

According to the director of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dr Robert Redfield, the latest countrywide surge in COVID-19 cases manly drove by zero patients’ gatherings indoors. So now, the real drive of the pandemic is not the public square, according to the Redfield’s interview with Fox News. It actually drove by the silent epidemic – the asymptomatic infections mainly in individuals between the ages of twelve and thirty-five.

Redford noted different transmission patterns of Coronavirus from those noted in the spring in key metropolitan regions. This time the transmission is occurring when people don’t wear masks and gather indoors, especially at homes. These silent virus carriers spreading COVID-19 come as United States cases and hospitalizations continue surging to new heights. As of 24th November, almost 12.5 million COVID-19 cases countrywide and over 259,000 people lost their lives in the United States since the start of the pandemic, according to statistics from Johns Hopkins University.
