Here’s what she says will be our next challenge.
Dr. Deborah Birx admitted to being “very worried” about the U.S. suffering a a post-Thanksgiving surge in COVID-19 cases due to Americans not following social distancing orders.
According to the Washington Examiner, Birx stated, “If you look at the second wave going into the Memorial Day weekend, we had less than 25,000 cases a day. We had only 30,000 inpatients in the hospital, and we had way less mortality, way under 1,000. We’re entering this post-Thanksgiving surge with three, four, and 10 times as much disease across the country. And so that’s what worries us the most. We saw what happened post-Memorial Day.”
“Now, we are deeply worried about what could happen post-Thanksgiving because the number of cases, 25,000 versus 180,000 a day — that’s why we are deeply concerned,” Birx went on to say. “And as you described, it looked like things were starting to improve in our Northern Plains states. And now, with Thanksgiving, we’re worried that all of that will be reversed.”
