While some are worried about a potential second wave, Dr. Jennifer Ellice is more concerned about the near term.
The surge in coronavirus cases across the U.S. is worrying many health officials and state leaders, so much so that many governors are undoing some of their phased re-openings to contain further spread.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases , spoke of the troubling trend during a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday, stating: “I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 [new cases] a day if this does not turn around.” “What we’re seeing right now is an enormous number of it coming back,” Ellice said. “We’re starting to see people coming in again with what we know to be the beginnings of another big surge.”
Many of these spikes are being attributed to Memorial Day weekend activities, during which crowds assembled throughout that weekend. “ICU beds can be extended,” she said. “Ventilators can be extended and moved around from place to place. But staffing is difficult and especially as some of us become ill from treating these patients, it becomes a challenge in the sense that if we’re continuing to operate as normal and doing elective procedures, then there are going to be fewer and fewer resources available to treat these patients. So I anticipate that will probably be re-examined going forward.
