The COVID-19 epidemic continues to worsen, with many hospitals experiencing overcrowded emergency rooms and inpatient wards. Measures are being strengthened at medical centers to control the spread. Locally, COVID-19 cases have increased for five consecutive weeks, with a sharp rise in severe cases last week. Additionally, after a gap of seven years, 'summer influenza' has reemerged with 10 new deaths last week, entering a resurgence period. The CDC anticipates that in mid-July, both COVID-19 and influenza epidemics will reach double peaks. COVID-19 cases have escalated rapidly, and the CDC's previous estimate for the peak in September has been advanced to July. The situation is dire, with a significant increase in severe cases and deaths reported. With respiratory diseases rampant, hospitals are overwhelmed, and preventive measures are being reinforced to manage the surge in patients. The peak for both epidemics is likely to occur in July, amid the ongoing healthcare crisis.
