Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 11-23-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for November 23rd, 2020.
The U.S. has seen more new cases already in November than any other month of the pandemic. More than 3 million new cases between November 1 and 22. At least 83,227 Covid-19 patients were hospitalized Saturday, the 12th straight day the US has broken its record for hospitalizations.
How bad is the hospital situation? A hospital in Indiana is so low on help it issued a public plea via Facebook for anyone with medical experience. The Mayo Clinic is bringing back retirees and moving researchers to patient care after 905 employees contracted the virus in the last two weeks. 18% of hospitals in the country reported a critical shortage of medical staff. In five states, more than a third of hospitals report critical staffing shortages.
The FDA has approved the antibody Covid treatment Regeneron for emergency use. The treatment combines two antibodies administered by IV. It’s only for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in people 12 years and older who are at high risk of developing more severe symptoms.
In California, even outdoor dining at restaurants across Los Angeles County will shut down on Wednesday and stay shut down for at least three weeks. Cases have tripled in the state in just the last month.
For all the warnings and bans and lockdowns, Americans appear to be attempting to live life as usual. More than 2 million people were screened at U.S. airports Friday and Saturday. Which means they are traveling for Thanksgiving. The TSA says they’ve actually seen passenger volume go over 900,000 a day frequently since early October.
The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Crowley, CO. Lee, KY. Union, NM. Foster, ND. Fallon, MT. Kearny, KS. Marshall, KS. Rawlins, KS. Pierce, ND. And Alfalfa, OK.
