"CNN" news network reported today that American doctors are expecting a "horrific" fall in the United States of America (USA) due to the intensification of the Coronavirus pandemic.

" Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the Medical University of Houston, said that he regret to reveal that the country is about a catastrophe.

He added but this is the case, because we are reopening the doors of schools and colleges in areas with high infection rates.

On the other hand, Joanna Marazzo, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama, agrees with these expectations.

The reason the number of infections is so high, she says, as people are tired of the restrictions in place over the last few months.

She noted that the situation is also affected by the false news that is spread about the Coronavirus and the methods of its spread.

According to the latest statistics published on the World Health Organization (WHO) website, the number of infections recorded in the USA has reached more than 6.74 million cases of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) since the beginning of the pandemic until now.

More than 198 thousand deaths were recorded due to the disease, and 36,766 new infections were recorded in the past day.

The doctors have warned that "COVID-19" may cause strange side effects after treating a previously healthy 37-year-old man.

Medics claimed that the Coronavirus could cause the man's testicles to swell, leaving him sterile in the end.

The patient went to the emergency department with swelling and discomfort in the scrotum.

He had been suffering from some of the main symptoms of the Coronavirus, such as dry cough, fatigue and fever, for 10 days before going to the hospital.

The patient tested positive for "Covid-19" five days before the first symptoms appeared.

The doctors indicated that "COVID-19" damaged the sperm cells, which maintain the health of the sperm.

Experts have warned that young people may be more vulnerable as a second wave of the Coronavirus "is likely coming this winter.

The president-elect of the Royal Society of Medicine stressed that the inevitable second wave of the Coronavirus may be "completely different" from the first.

Professor Roger Kirby issued the warning, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson's fears were revealed that a second wave of "COVID-19" might hit the United Kingdom within two weeks.

This comes on the heels of a new outbreak of the disease in Spain and other countries, with signs indicating the arrival of a second wave in continental Europe.

Meanwhile, Britons returning from Spain were suddenly and without warning in advance told to adhere to a 14-day quarantine, in an announcement made over the weekend.

Professor Kirby says we may be right to worry, as a conference was held for doctors and leading experts to discuss what has been learned about "Covid-19" since its occurrence in Europe.

He warned that young people may be more vulnerable as the virus changes in the second wave.

While COVID-19 has mainly affected the elderly, ethnic minorities, and people with underlying health conditions, young people may be more vulnerable.

Professor Kirby said on BBC Radio 4s Today program that winter is coming and it is almost certain that a second wave of this virus is coming.

What we saw in 1918 in the second wave was different from the first wave and affected a different group of people.

Epidemiologists fear that the "COVID-19" virus will pass through a "W curve" similar to the Spanish flu, the most deadly epidemic in history.

For the first time, the Spanish flu saw a "U curve", that is, two major increases in deaths among the elderly and the very young.

But it later became a "W curve", with higher death rates among healthy people between the ages of 25 and 30.
