The US epidemic prevention and control work is still struggling

According to the Economic Daily, under the influence of various unfavorable factors, the US epidemic prevention and control work is still struggling.

Recently, many pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States have made important progress in researching new crown vaccines.

However, the situation in the United States is far from optimistic. As the hardest hit by the global epidemic, under the influence of various unfavorable factors, the US epidemic prevention and control work is still struggling.

First of all, the phenomenon of some American politicians abandoning public interests for political self-interest has intensified.

All these practices have caused the American public to suffer greatly, resulting in the United States, which has the world’s strongest scientific and technological strength and the most abundant medical resources, becoming the country with the worst epidemic in the world. As of November 27, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States has exceeded 13 million, and the cumulative number of deaths has reached 270,000.

Second, the American society has a serious lack of awareness of epidemic prevention and control. Currently, an average of 1 in 20 people in the United States is infected. However, under the instigation of some politicians, many Americans have insufficient understanding of the severity of the epidemic and disagree with prevention and control measures.

According to public opinion polls, nearly half of the American people are unwilling to receive the new crown vaccine. In addition, many Americans pay little attention to daily protection against the virus.

According to US Transportation Security Administration data, more than 3 million passengers pass security checks at all airports across the United States in a single weekend. The American Automobile Association predicts that 50 million people will travel in the United States during Thanksgiving. Among such a large traveler, very few people are tested for the virus. Many people have become mobile sources of infection, increasing the spread of the virus.

Third, professionals have been repeatedly excluded, and scientific prevention and control have encountered huge challenges. Epidemic prevention and control should follow scientific principles, and the strength of scientific prevention and control determines the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control.

Recently, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, spoke at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in the United Kingdom about the current situation of scientific and political opposition in the United States’ fight against the epidemic, as well as the attacks and injustices he has suffered.
