U.S. public health officials warn that the United States may face a "worst period of the epidemic" with the increase in winter flu cases and a surge in holiday seasons, with the number of hospitalizations and deaths likely to increase significantly.

"It's hard to find good news"

The number of confirmed cases across the United States rose from 9 million to 10 million, which took only 10 days.

Johns Hopkins University Health and Safety Center Director Tom Ingsby posted on social media: "According to the current trend, the number of confirmed cases in the United States will continue to surge and the number of deaths will also increase. Hospitals will be under increasing pressure until they are overloaded and cannot provide treatment for patients."

Ingsby also said: "Governors should declare to the public the danger of the epidemic. Too many people have been blinded by misinformation, believing that the epidemic is a scam or the number of deaths has been exaggerated. We need the governor to end these lies."

The Washington Post said that it is difficult to find good news from the current epidemic data in the United States, and the attention to the election results across the United States has also made the public ignore the continuous surge in the number of confirmed cases.

"Adhere to science, not politics"

Fauci also said that returning college students are more likely to get infected with COVID-19. Compared with this spring, the average age of current infected people is "nearly ten years lower." Ultimately, they trigger community infections and to some extent drive infections on a larger scale.

Brown University emergency physician Megan Lanney expressed great concern about the large number of social gatherings expected to occur at the end of the year. She said: " The new coronavirus has spread rampantly across the United States, and we are entering the worst period of this epidemic. After the holiday season from the end of November to the beginning of December, a small-scale epidemic may appear and become more and more intense across the United States. It is like adding fuel to the fire. The epidemic in the United States will become more and more serious."

"The road to economic recovery in the United States is still long"

Last week, the October non-farm employment report released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the number of long-term unemployment (27 weeks of unemployment or more) reached 3.56 million, the highest level since the beginning of 2014. Compared with before the epidemic, tens of millions of jobs in the United States have not yet recovered, and a large number of unemployed workers are still relying on various unemployment benefits established by the government during the epidemic.

Moody's predicts that the United States may not be able to fully recover the 22 million jobs lost due to the epidemic by 2024. CNN said that needs to make the US economy recover, it takes a long time to work .

In addition, NBC quoted economists as saying that even if the US economy begins to show signs of recovery, its status will still be weaker than before the epidemic. Until Americans can get vaccinated widely, the United States will remain on a slow and difficult economic recovery track.
