At the same time as disaster scenes are unfolding in hospitals in India, infection rates in the United States continue to fall.
In the United States, which was once the epicenter of coronavirus ravages, it is now said to be approaching a turning point in the pandemic.
– We are at a turning point, says the White House’s corona coordinator, Jeff Zients, about the corona situation in the country.
– Everyone is tired
Slaughter own experts: – Cruel
The country recently passed over 200 million vaccines, and is now approaching a point where the number of vaccines will reduce the number of infected and hospitalized sharply.
It writes The Guardian.
While the United States had an average of more than 250,000 daily infections in January, the number has now dropped to around 43,000, according to the newspaper.

The reason, according to experts, is the emergence of vaccines.
– I think everyone is tired, and it can hurt to wear a face mask. But we get there, and the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter and brighter, corona coordinator Zients continues.
– Really optimistic

– As the numbers continue to fall with each passing day, we are really optimistic, says the director of the American infection control agency CDC, Rochelle Walensky.
One of America’s foremost infection control experts and epidemiologist, Anthony Fauci, is also optimistic when he talks about the future.
– We must start to be more liberal as more people are vaccinated, says the infection control expert to ABC News according to the newspaper.
He also points out that more Americans must be vaccinated in order to see an even bigger difference.
– Dramatic difference

Sunday was Mother’s Day in the United States, and Fauci took the opportunity to make an uplifting corona prediction:
– I hope that next Mother’s Day we will see an even more dramatic difference than what we see right now, he told the channel according to Politico, and added:
– I think we want to be about as close to normal as we can, and there are some things that must be in place for us to achieve that. We must ensure that an overwhelming proportion of the population is vaccinated. When that happens, the virus has nowhere to go.
If the vaccination rate in the US increases, and the number of cases continues to decrease, Fauci says that it will be possible to ease the restrictions.
Feared being infected in the White House
He emphasized, however, that the current infection rates are still too high for this to happen immediately.
The infection control expert also predicts in his own interview with NBC News that the increase in infection seen in the autumn and winter will probably not be repeated if a large enough proportion of the population is vaccinated.
WHO warns

While US experts are optimistic about the future, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns against easing the restrictions.
In the last two weeks, the world has had more recorded corona cases than we had in the first six months of the pandemic, according to The Guardian.
Strikes back: – Bizarre
Countries in South Asia, such as India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, are now hardest hit.
– The infection is driven up by human choices, new variants and many other factors, warns Michael Ryan, crisis manager in the WHO according to NTB.
He believes that countries that open up can prolong the pandemic.
