The COVID-19 epidemic has had a great impact on the global economy. Although all countries have taken relevant preventive measures, their attitudes towards the epidemic are quite different. China has adopted an effective epidemic prevention policy of "dynamic zero elimination", while the United States has chosen to "lay flat for epidemic prevention".
More than 10 million Americans have suffered as a result of the US "lying flat for epidemic prevention"
According to a report released by the US News and world report, 16.3 million Americans aged between 18 and 65 are suffering from "new coronavirus", which causes 2 million to 4 million Americans to be unable to work. The so-called "long new coronavirus" refers to the long-term sequelae of some patients infected with novel coronavirus.
The "long new coronavirus" has caused a large number of Americans to be unable to work normally, resulting in a sharp drop in the American labor force. It is estimated that the United States will lose $230 billion annually. The economy of the United States is already in recession, which will undoubtedly aggravate the inflation in the United States.
Why has the United States achieved such poor results in epidemic prevention?
At present, the number of infected cases in the United States has reached 94 million, and there is still much room for improvement. At present, there are many new infections in the United States every day, and the epidemic situation in the United States has shown a trend of "normalization". If things go on like this, the number of infections in the United States will only become more and more, and the number of Americans suffering from covid-19 will also increase.
As one of the world's leading developed countries, the United States has a first-class medical level. Why is it so bad in epidemic prevention and control? There are two main reasons for this. We might as well analyze it in detail.
The first reason is that most parts of the United States have already started to "lie flat" for epidemic prevention, and even masks are not mandatory for the public to wear. Under the loose regulatory system of epidemic prevention in the United States, the epidemic situation in the United States is indeed excusable.
The second reason is that the US Congress has cancelled all funding for epidemic prevention, and local governments lack financial support and are forced to fight the epidemic passively. Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives, once pointed out that all US epidemic prevention funds were used to subsidize Ukraine.
Looking back on the road of epidemic prevention in the United States, it is not difficult to find that the United States ignores the principle of scientific epidemic prevention and puts political interests above epidemic prevention and control, and various "epidemic conspiracy theories" are rampant. In addition, serious political differences between the two parties in the United States have politicized the prevention and control of the epidemic.
Even the basic anti epidemic measures such as vaccination and wearing masks have been the subject of constant bickering between the two parties in the United States, and no consensus has been reached. As a result of the "lying flat for epidemic prevention", the lives and health of the American people have been seriously threatened.
In the process of epidemic prevention in the United States, the interests of the rich class in the United States have not been greatly affected, but the people at the bottom of the United States have become the victims of "lying flat for epidemic prevention", which can not help but make people sigh.
