American infectious disease expert warns: the second wave of the epidemic has begun

At present, many places in the United States have reopened, and the new crown epidemic is also showing signs of expanding again, because as the economy restarts, people have begun to relax their control of social distance. William Shafner, an infectious disease expert and professor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, said on Monday that the second wave of the new crown epidemic in the United States has begun, and people need to be cautious, otherwise the medical system will be overwhelmed again.

As all parts of the United States began to relax the epidemic's restrictive measures, several states have experienced a surge in cases. The cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States has exceeded 2.16 million. In an interview with American financial media, Schaffner said: The second wave has already begun. We are opening up all over the country, but many people do not maintain a social distance, and many people do not wear masks. He added that mass gatherings and religious ceremonies are restarting everywhere, and many people are not careful at all, they don't care, which of course will lead to the spread of more new coronaviruses.

He warned that the complete shutdown is a serious financial disaster that has had such a great impact on society and culture. I cannot imagine that we will close again. "
