According to Western mainstream media reports such as Agence France-Presse, as various countries have successively introduced epidemic prevention and control measures, the new crown pneumonia epidemic in most regions is gradually stabilizing; however, the number of newly confirmed cases in the United States has surged again recently, once again for the global fight The prospect of the epidemic has cast a shadow.
reported that while the epidemic in other parts of the world has stabilized, the number of deaths from new coronary pneumonia in the United States has increased significantly. According to statistics, the number of new confirmed cases worldwide this week dropped by 3% compared to last week; however, correspondingly, the number of newly confirmed cases in the United States and Canada increased by 8%, and the epidemic continued to intensify. So far, the United States is not only the country with the largest number of new confirmed cases per day, but also the country with the largest number of deaths per day.
The report also pointed out that in the context of the large-scale spread of delta mutant strains in the United States, the epidemic prevention policies of all levels of government and even different government agencies in the United States are still unable to be unified. As many children under the age of 12 who cannot be vaccinated against the new crown have begun to return to school, as of the end of August, pediatric patients accounted for more than 20% of the new confirmed cases every week in the United States. Under such a severe situation, the struggle between the two factions in the US government that support and oppose the mask order remains deadlocked, and some state governors have even made it clear that they will not consider the mask order.
