(CNN) – Has triggered a preoccupying tendency in the last weeks: the cases of covid-19 between the youngsters are increasing.
In Michigan, the hospitalizations of 30 year olds have increased by more than 600% and the 40 years by 800%. The diary cases promedio of nine also increased by more than 200%. And Massachusetts, the mayor of the infections of the first 19 years, made the production and teens of young people.
What explains these trends?
Hablamos con la Dra. Leana Wen, CNN’s medical analyst. Wen is an emergency physician and visiting professor of politics and health management at the School of Public Health at the Milken Institute of the George Washington University. También is the author of the next book “Lifelines: A Doctor’s Journey in the Fight for Public Health”.
CNN: Ayúdanos has these numbers. Do you have any new ones that are affecting the girls the most? Is it simply that the girls are doing more than anything else?
Wear. Leana Wen: The increase in the proportion of cases between the young people is likely to be a combination of factors. First of all, there are the mayors who are more vacant and, therefore, very well protected against covid-19.
Approximately 80% of all deaths occur since the age of 65 years. In this group of editions, more than one is already fully vacated and around 75% have received less than one dose of the vacancy. It is hoped that the proportion of hospitalized people will be displaced more than the young and, therefore, demonstrate that the vacancies are functioning.
Another reason is probably why most young people are infected with variant B.1,1.7. This is the variant that originated for the first time in the United Kingdom and is rapidly becoming dominant here in EE.UU. Studies show that this is the most transmissible, which means that there is now a risky mayor to fight coronavirus for activities that are thought to be quite safe. In addition to causing more cases, the B.1,1.7 now is also demonstrating to be more virulent when it means causing a more serious illness and, for that matter, is more likely to result in hospitalization and death.
Combine this with the hecho of which the most young people are their most mobile and participate in more activities, and this is probably what explains a mayor’s proportion and number of cases in the groups of more young people.

CNN: What are the implications for the school? Does it mean that the schools tend to close?
Win: No necessities. There are numerous studies he has demonstrated that schools can be some of the safest places for nines to implement mitigation tools, in particular, the use of masks, but also things like keeping naps in “capsules” or cohorts , better ventilation and some degree of physical distance. Waking up to the masters also protects and reduces the probability of carrying the coronavirus. The additional medicines like the regular samples also help.
Dicho esto, las deberán deerán tener en cuente que hai más variant transmissibles, por lo que seben deben implementa máns de estas medidación. The schools in the United Kingdom and Europe have ten to close with B.1,1.7. Schools should be particularly careful about extracurricular activities; for example, in some places, it has been shown that extracurricular sports propagate the coronavirus.

CNN: Are there any more youth groups that are infected, should we prioritize evacuation?
Win: Initially, tenia would prioritize vacancies for mayors and chronically ill people; these are the people with the highest probability of getting serious. Darles prioritizes helping to save lives and avoid destroying our hospitals. The vacancies are advancing rapidly and it is hoped that President Biden will immediately announce that the states will increase the eligibility by April 19 for all 16-year-olds to receive vacancies. For this reason, it is only a matter of time before all those who want a vacancy can register to receive one.
Dicho todo esto estoy, estoy de acuerdo con aumsparne specifece el acceso a quienes tienen más probabilades de contraer el coronavirus y también de propagarlo. The evacuation efforts must be as objective as making the evacuation an easy and convenient option. For example, a vacancy campaign on university campuses will have vacancies directly to the persons. In different ways, vacancies can be booked in work places, without prior notice. These efforts to increase accessibility and convenience will be important, especially for the young people who have other priorities to attend.
CNN: What needs to be done to protect people, if there is a more contagious variant?
Win: Following are the same precautions that we have been following from the principle. Variant B.1,1.7 is suitable for working with the respiratory tract, although the types of salvage type common, as well as continuous mascara, maintain the physical distance and avoid meetings in interiors with persons not having su hogar. Do not reunite with people in the interior until you are evacuated. Once you have been evacuated, you can see other people completely evacuated in interior spaces, but you have to wait, see the people in the open air, with physical distance.
It is favorable, holidays available. All authorized vacancies appear to have many efficiencies against variant B.1,1.7. Waking up to protect against coronavirus and also reduce the likelihood of it contacting other people.

CNN: Do you have any particular precautions that should be taken care of, are 16-year-olds unable to be vaccinated?
Win: I insure that the nines that regress to the school have specific precautions, such as using masks and adjusting to their cohort. Be involved in social and informal entourages as in formal school entourages. The climate is superior, as it treats to quote to play in the open air, with children using masks, in the future.
Sepa that the nineteen tienden to nurse much less than the adults, but some nineteen he was seriously aggravated and, tragically, some had the death of covid-19.
The minor children of 16 years can not be vaccinated today, but [para] rodres and quienes rodean a los niños, vacunarse ayuda a protegerlos. The final result is no lies and it is hoped that the verano will be much better in terms of infection level. For this reason, we continue to take precautions to protect our wives and families.
