Why is it so difficult to control the epidemic in the United States?

At the beginning of this year, a new crown pneumonia swept the world, although the new crown epidemic first broke out in my country, but in fact, in less than two months, the new crown epidemic was controlled by our people and **. So far, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in China has not exceeded 100,000, to more than 89,000, and it is unlikely to exceed 100,000. Although China's new crown pneumonia epidemic has been controlled, the international epidemic situation is not optimistic, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in the world has exceeded 20 million.

Among them, the United States is "taking the lead", with the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia reaching 5.2 million, and the daily new cases remain high, always remaining at about 50,000.

Logically speaking, China has made a good start in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and a country with a strong economy like the United States only needs to follow China to "copy homework", so why does it have to fall to the current point? There are several reasons for this:

1.The United States has always lacked the courage of a strong man like China. In the early days of the outbreak, China** decisively issued an order to lock down Wuhan, and other provinces and regions also gave priority to epidemic prevention and stopped work and production to control the spread of the epidemic.

In order to effectively control the spread of the epidemic, it is inevitable to suspend work and production, or even lock down the city, but the United States only considers the economy and can never make this decision.

2.The American people lack a basic understanding of the epidemic. Many Americans are unaware of the horrors of the new crown pneumonia, and many people think that the shutdown of work and production and the lockdown of the city are infringing on their right to freedom, but they do not think that after they become the source of infection, they will infringe on the health rights of others, and even some young people who are not sober take the initiative to contract pneumonia.

As the world's largest economy, the United States has advanced medical technology, but the cumulative number of confirmed cases and deaths of new crown pneumonia is the largest in the world.

American experts pointed out that the "politicization" of the epidemic is one of the main reasons why it is difficult for the United States to effectively control the new crown pneumonia epidemic. Moreover, as the United States is approaching, the tendency of "politicization" of the epidemic is still intensifying, further hindering the effective development of epidemic prevention and control in the United States.

The U.S. "Politico" published an article saying that the mishandling of the United States ** contributed to the new crown pneumonia crisis. "Since the outbreak of the epidemic, neither the U.S. federal ** nor the U.S. Congress have been aware of the severity of the epidemic, which is the subjective reason for the slow anti-epidemic action in the United States in the early stage of the epidemic. The U.S. state system also limits the ability of local** governments to take emergency measures.

Only when the U.S. federal ** declares a national emergency, the U.S. Congress can allocate funds, and the federal** can take some drastic epidemic prevention measures, which is the objective reason why the United States has not responded to the sudden epidemic in a timely and effective manner. Yuan Zheng, a researcher at the Institute of American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in an interview with this reporter that the United States is facing the best this year, and the two-party election has also distracted the attention and energy of the United States from the top to the bottom of the epidemic prevention and control.

An analysis by the Pew Research Center in the United States pointed out that "at a time when the United States is dealing with multiple crises, there are serious differences between the two parties on the problems facing the country." According to the latest Pew Research Center poll, about 76 percent of Democratic supporters believe the coronavirus pandemic is a serious problem facing the United States, compared with only 37 percent of Republican supporters.

Measures to effectively control the epidemic

1. Establish a national office for the control of medical supplies to fight the epidemic. Due to the tension of epidemic prevention in the whole country, there may be a disorderly situation of medical strategic reserves**. In order to ensure that important medical supplies are used where they are most needed, it is necessary to set up a national anti-epidemic medical supplies control office to implement unified control over the production, circulation and distribution of strategic materials.

2. Establish a National Coordination Office for Scientific Research in Fighting the Epidemic. The fight against the epidemic is a race against time, against the disease, and against death, and it is necessary to unite relevant scientific research institutions and enterprises in various localities and departments, strengthen coordination, and concentrate on fighting the war of annihilation, whether it is developing vaccines or new drugs, and develop vaccines and effective new drugs as soon as possible, so as to gain time for gaining the strategic initiative in fighting the epidemic.

3. Establish a national coordination office for the resumption of industrial work in the fight against the epidemic. The long-term suspension of industrial production and work will inevitably affect the healthy development of the national economy, as well as social stability and people's livelihood.

In this situation, it is necessary to make coordinated arrangements for the resumption of work in various localities and industries, which can not only prevent a new round of uncontrollable epidemic outbreaks, but also minimize the losses of the national economy, and arrange the resumption of work and production as soon as possible and in an orderly manner.

The above content reference: People's Daily Online-International Observation: Why is the United States to blame for the spread of the epidemic?

I think it has a lot to do with the people's perception, many people in the United States feel that freedom is more important than epidemic prevention and control, so they are not very able to accept the control behavior under the epidemic, which also creates favorable conditions for the spread of the virus.

This has an inescapable relationship with Trump and some American people, first of all, Trump did not respond in time at the first time of the outbreak of the epidemic, and did not recognize the transmissibility and fatality rate of the epidemic, which led to the public not paying attention to it.

Because many people don't care about themselves, they think that the fatality rate of this virus is not high, and there are some social events during the epidemic that require demonstrations, so it is difficult to control.

1.arrogance, worship of power; 2.Superstitious freedom, refusal to wear a mask.

There are two major reasons why the epidemic in the United States is so serious and not chaotic: first, the United States has not faced up to the epidemic; Second, the United States has adopted certain measures in the economy.

First, in the early days of the epidemic, the United States** did not treat the epidemic correctly, but used it as a means of political games, and the people did not pay much attention to it. After the epidemic spread in the United States, and at this time the United States had also developed a vaccine, although the cooperation of the American people was not high at that time, but after the vaccine mutated, Omicron broke out, although the number of infections is rising, but the mortality rate is decreasing, and the general American people believe that life has returned to normal.

The second is because of what the United States has done. As we all know, the epidemic led to a decline in the economy of the United States, and then the United States began to think of a way, that is, to distribute relief funds, and after that, most people received ** relief funds. This also delays the desire to work urgently, and the risk of infection increases once they are in a work environment.

On the whole, although the current mentality of the American people is very calm, we all know that the epidemic is different from the ordinary virus, once infected, the consequences are unimaginable, and we must pay attention to prevention.

The epidemic situation abroad has been fully relaxed. All the epidemics abroad have been liberalized, even Singapore has been liberalized, and there is no need to wear masks in gathering places.

UK: A new wave of hospitalisations and deaths is on the rise, and since the UK** announced its "Living with COVID" plan in February, people who test positive do not need to self-isolate and no longer trace close contacts, but they are accompanied by high epidemic data.

United States: After a dinner party, the new coronavirus "invaded" the palace of power, compared with the epidemic data of more than one million daily confirmed cases in early 2022, the new cases in the United States have recently dropped sharply to about 40,000. But worryingly, with the spread of the Omicron strain, the incidence of new crown in the United States has risen again.

According to the latest statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the week ending April 2, the number of infected people accounted for about 72% of new crown cases in the United States, including 84% in New York and New Jersey.

11. Conform to public opinion. Western people who advocate freedom and democracy cannot withstand and endure the restrictions and controls demanded by the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic for a long time, and if they are restricted and controlled for a long time, like China, they will inevitably cause social unrest and cause very serious consequences. In this sense, the United States' choice to "lie flat" is extremely wise and reasonable.

2. Dam failure is difficult to block. Do you remember? The United States has also adopted extremely strict lockdown measures, and has also strictly "closed the country" for dozens of days.

In other words, the United States has not tried to completely suppress the spread of the virus! It was only later that it was discovered that the states were in their own positions, coupled with the people's lack of cooperation, the loopholes were getting bigger and bigger, and the epidemic was becoming more and more fierce, and it had reached the point where it was out of control. It's like a dike, first a small opening, then the small opening keeps growing, and finally it collapses unstoppably, so I have no choice but to watch the flood of the levee rush for thousands of miles, to flood some cities, and drown some people.

3. Get rid of the baggage. Politicians, as well as those above the middle class, are watching more and more "old and poor" share the cake, dragging themselves down, and they are panicking for a long time, hoping that these "old and poor" will soon go to God! But you can't say it!

As soon as you say it, it will create contradictions, destroy the personality, and directly lead to the loss of votes. Well, the new crown epidemic has given them a golden opportunity, and they can't wait to ignore the risk of "risking the world's condemnation", and choose to use the "hand of the virus" to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled at the bottom, so that the American machine can be light and efficient again.

The United States announced a six-step plan to control the epidemic, and the six-step plan includes:1Require all employers with more than 100 employees to ensure that their employees are tested weekly or vaccinated; 2.

free vaccine boosters for all eligible Americans; 3.regular COVID testing of students and staff; 4.Make family-sized COVID testing products more affordable; 5.

streamlining the loan forgiveness process under the Paycheck Protection Scheme; 6.Supporting hospitals that are under pressure due to the large number of coronavirus patients.

The country's epidemic data in recent days has continued to maintain the data of more than 20,000 new cases per day, and has not shown a rapid downward trend, but has remained at a high level of more than 20,000 confirmed cases. But there was also no fear of resumption of work.

The whole country can be controlled with one mind.

The anti-epidemic measures taken by the United States at the beginning were not correct and were anti-science (Trump is an anti-intellectual, anti-science person). Biden's strategy since taking office has been more correct (but the mask mandate still does not conform to scientific research). The methods used to control the epidemic in the United States and other European countries are:

1. Keep a distance between people and do not engage in large gatherings; 2. Vaccination (AstraZeneca, Pfizer and other vaccines have high efficacy); 3. Young people and people without underlying diseases can be infected, and after self-healing, they can produce antibodies, and herd immunity can be achieved when a certain proportion of the population is reached.

There is not much control, and the epidemic prevention measures have been relaxed a lot.

On October 25, according to the U.S. "Capitol Hill" 24**, the number of flu cases and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases in children in the United States has surged recently, and if the number of new crown pneumonia cases also rises this winter, the United States will face the impact of a "triple epidemic".

Children's hospitals are being overwhelmed by rising respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) transmission in many parts of the U.S., with Seattle Children's Emergency Department seeing a record number of pediatric patients in October, the CDC said. In addition, at the beginning of this year's flu season, flu cases in the United States rose faster than expected.

At the same time, as the cold weather sets in and people gather more and more indoors, the number of Covid cases in the United States is expected to rise. Wastewater surveillance results show that the number of COVID cases is already on the rise in some regions, which means that the United States may be on the verge of a "triple crisis" that could pose a threat to the U.S. health system.

A big factor that could lead to this winter's pandemic crisis is that for millions of Americans, containment measures have eased. Compared to a year ago, there are significantly fewer people wearing masks or social distancing in the United States, people are traveling again, and they are generally less cautious about COVID. In addition, the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus is also a potential concern, and experts are urging parents to take precautions to protect the health and safety of their children.

The epidemic in the United States is no longer under control, no masks are worn, and nucleic acid tests are not taken, and the epidemic is rampant.
