Coronavirus news, updates, hotspots and information for 12-15-2020
This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots… Just the facts… for December 15th, 2020.
The European version of the CDC put out a list of the top 10 countries for Covid deaths per million people. They are Belgium, Peru, Italy, Spain, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzigovena, Slovenia, the U.K., the United States, and Argentina. Americans have died at 2.5x the rate of Canadians and 46x the rate in Japan.
The last words anyone wants to hear: new strain of Covid-19. But it’s been identified in the U.K. and it’s thought this variant could be linked to the recent rapid spread. Millions more people in London are being moved into the toughest restrictions.
A new AP poll oddly finds Covid deaths are obviously increasing but there’s not much increase in alarm. 40% say they are extremely or very worried about themselves or a family member, and that’s lower than surveys in March and July.
You know who hasn’t taken the Pfizer vaccine yet? The CEO of Pfizer. But Albert Bourla offered up an explanation yesterday. He doesn’t want to be seen as jumping the line. He says, “We’re having an ethical committee dealing with the question of who’s getting it.”
50 children were possibly exposed to the coronavirus at a Christmas parade in Ludowici, Georgia after Santa and Mrs. Claus (maybe not the real ones – it could be their helpers), tested positive. The parade was followed by a chance for kids to get a picture taken with Santa.
The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Bent, CO. Alfalfa, OK. Collingsworth, TX. Pershing NV. Bowman, ND. Lincoln, CO. Montour, PA. Lassen, CA. Ellsworth, KS. And Childress, TX.
There are now 6,763,070 active cases in the United States. The current Top 10 states by number of active cases: California, Florida, Arizona overtakes Illinois, New York, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Colorado, and Michigan.
The five states with the most daily new cases per capita over 7 days are Rhode Island, Ohio, North Dakota, Tennessee, and Indiana.
The reproduction rate is currently highest in Tennessee, California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Kentucky. The states with the lowest reproduction rate are Wyoming, North Dakota, New Mexico, Montana, and Iowa.
There’ve been a total 300,474 deaths in the US reported as COVID-related, with a current national fatality rate of 1.85%.
The states with the most new deaths reported as COVID-related: California 140. Florida 137. New York 120. Illinois 116. Michigan 91. Connecticut 81. Tennessee 79. Texas 70. Pennsylvania 69. And Iowa 60.
Globally, there are 20,238,837 active cases.
There were 530,637 new cases around the world in the last 24 hours against a high of 748,974 reported December 11.
