Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! Recently, the United States has been experiencing a rapid decline of Coronavirus cases since the last spike that occurred in January. On February 22nd, workers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a mere 55,419 cases nationwide. Although it still may seem as an extremely large number, it's just a fraction of the cases that were reported on January 8th, 315,106 cases. Additionally, the average amount of cases this week had fallen by 23 percent, making it the sixth week in a row that the average case amounts had decreased in the United States. Coronavirus related hospitalizations and deaths have also been decreasing nationwide. Many experts explain that the reason why cases are suddenly declining so rapidly is because of the vaccines, but many are also afraid that people will become less restrictive because it seems as if the world is returning back to its normal state.
Although this may be the beginning of the end, we still need to act like it's the beginning. A rapid decline of cases does not provide you with an out of wearing a mask in public or maintaining social distancing protocols. If we strictly follow the CDC guidelines for COVID-19, we can end this pandemic once and for all. Personally, I believe that the Coronavirus won't be as big of a problem by the summer. What do you all think, do you believe that this will last all throughout next year, end in before the summer, etc.? Let me know in the comments!

Hi Coby,
ReplyDeleteI think its great that there finally a decline in the cases. I think that by summer it wont be gone completely, but it will be for the most part. By then,most people will probably be vaccinated. I just hope people understand that even though cases are declining, it doesn't mean they can get back to regular life.
