The World Health Organization is warning that countries could face a second peak in covid-19 cases, even before we enter a second wave of infections. North America, Southeast Asia and Europe could be scaling back restrictions too quickly, WHO emergencies program head Mike Ryan said, which could result in a rapid acceleration in the emergence of case clusters. “We need to be also cognizant of the fact that the disease can jump up at any time," Ryan said. "We cannot make assumptions that just because the disease is on the way down now that it’s going to keep going down.”
Former Food and Drug Administration commissioner Scott Gottlieb linked the increase in covid-19 hospitalizations to states lifting restrictions. “We now see a trend in an uptick in hospitalizations. It’s a small uptick, but it is an uptick, and it is unmistakable, and it is probably a result of reopening,” he said Tuesday morning in an interview on CNBC. “I’m concerned that there are people who think that this is the all-clear.”
The number of Tyson Foods employees with covid-19 has exploded from less than 1,600 a month ago to more than 7,000 today, according to a Washington Post analysis. Meat companies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on protective gear, paid leave and ventilation systems. Despite the safety precautions, the industry has still seen a significant surge in cases, showing how difficult it is to get back to normal, even in essential fields such as food processing.
