除了福奇，美国卫生部长贝塞拉也在本周感染新冠病毒。值得一提的是，这是贝塞拉一个月内第二次感染新冠病毒，5月18日他在德国访问期间曾宣布新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性。
月初，美国内政部长德布·哈兰与美国交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格也先后新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性。
美国的疫情再次严峻
美国疾控中心本周发出警告，美国的疫情再次严峻。据疾控中心6月8日公布的数据，在过去一周中，美国的新冠肺炎日均确诊病例数处于10万例的高位。
在全美50个州中，约三分之二的州的确诊病例数相比一周前呈上升趋势。其中，儿童的感染比率更是达到了今年二月以来的最高值，相比4月份激增了约70%。
数据还显示，5月14日，携带BA4和BA5毒株的病例总数在美国尚不足1%，而到了6月4日，这一比率已高达13%。耶鲁大学公共卫生学院预测：这两种新变异株可能将在数周内成为美国的主流毒株，全美将在今年暑期将迎来第六波感染高峰。
泛美卫生组织周三公布的数据表示，上周美国的新冠住院人数和ICU病房使用人数分别环比增加了2%和4.2%。
In addition to Fauci, US Health Secretary Becerra also infected novel coronavirus this week. It is worth mentioning that this is the second time in a month that Becerra has infected novel coronavirus. During his visit to Germany on May 18, he announced that novel coronavirus had tested positive.
At the beginning of this month, US Interior Secretary Deb Harlan and US Transportation Secretary Peter Butigig also tested positive for novel coronavirus one after another.
The epidemic in the United States is once again serious
The CDC warned this week that the epidemic in the United States is once again serious. COVID-19 in the United States has had a daily average of 100000 confirmed cases in the past week, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on June 8.
About 2/3 of the 50 states in the United States have an upward trend in the number of confirmed cases compared with a week ago. Among them, the infection rate among children reached the highest level since February this year, a surge of about 70% from April.
The data also showed that the total number of cases carrying BA4 and BA5 strains in the United States was less than 1% on May 14, up from 13% on June 4. The Yale School of Public Health predicts:These two new variants may become the mainstream strains in the United States within a few weeks, and the United States will usher in the sixth peak of infection this summer..
According to data released by the Pan American Health Organization on Wednesday, the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations and the number of ICU ward users in the US increased by 2 per cent and 4.2 per cent respectively last week compared with the previous week.
