Wafaa El-Sadr, MD, MPH, MPA, global director of ICAP, was consulted for an Oct 31 article on Fox 5 New York, which examined whether the country is in a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic given the recent increase in cases in 47 states across the country. This month alone, two dozen states are reporting a record number of daily cases. Hospitals there say they are on track to run out of ICU beds in the coming weeks. El-Sadr says:
“We are still riding the first wave, I think it’s like riding a wave that has different peaks, we are going from one peak to the next peak, but we’ve never really come down.”
