China News, June 22, reported that with the gradual entering of summer, a record high temperature appeared in some parts of the United States. But the U.S. government found that the usual methods of protecting people from heatstroke conflicted with measures to prevent the new crown epidemic, which was worrying. On the other hand, although the epidemic is still continuing in the United States, US President Trump recently suggested "slowing down detection", which caused controversy, and the Biden campaign team approved "outrageous."

U.S. meets high temperature epidemic double challenges

 Experts worry that this kind of group is easy to "stroke"

  According to reports, New York City Emergency Response Bureau spokesman Bernard (Omar Bourne) pointed out that the new crown epidemic and climate change will inevitably conflict, he estimates that the city government will encounter unprecedented challenges this summer.

  Experts said that the task of striking a balance between preventing the spread of the new crown epidemic and avoiding heat stroke endangering health is extremely difficult. For example, there are seven sprinkler parks in the Rochester area of ​​New York State. As long as the temperature exceeds a certain temperature, sprinkler water will be provided for the neighboring residents to cool off, but all of them will stop during the new crown pandemic.

  Doctors describe that overheating causes people to first experience symptoms of heat failure, such as heavy sweating, accelerated pulse, fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. Andrea Miglani, director of the emergency department at Rochester's "Strong Memorial Hospital", said that if a heat stroke occurs, it will be very worrying.

  Miglani said that as long as there is a day of high temperature, the number of heat stroke hospitalization cases will increase slightly. If it is a few days in a row, there will be a cumulative effect, and the number of deaths from heat stroke will increase. People with chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and people over 65 years old, are particularly prone to heat stroke. This is the same group of people who are prone to new crowns.

  Megrany pointed out that the current situation is compounded by the new crown epidemic. Movie theaters, libraries and restaurants generally provide air-conditioned summer facilities on hot days, and are currently closed in many areas of the country.

  According to federal census data, about 90% of the nation’s air-conditioned households are unevenly distributed; poor and minority communities suffer from a very high proportion of heat waves, and they have a lower rate of air-conditioning compared to wealthy white communities Much more.

Diagnosed over 2.27 million Trump suggested "slow down detection"

Biden campaign team approved: outrageous

  The New Crown epidemic continues to rage in the United States. But on the 20th, US President Trump said in a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma that increased testing is the reason why the number of confirmed cases in the United States ranks first in the world. He said, "Please slow down the testing ".

  In this regard, the Democratic presidential candidate Biden's campaign team condemned Trump's claims. Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, said in a statement that Trump’s remarks were “outrageous” and would be remembered “long after the failed rally that night.”

  "Trump just admitted that he put politics on the safety and economic well-being of the American people, although we have just recorded the highest number of new crown cases in the past two months, and 20 million people are unemployed." She said .

  "The virus has killed nearly 120,000 Americans and caused tens of millions of job losses, in large part because the president cannot and will not mobilize the test as quickly as we need. Today Hearing him late said he ordered to slow down the detection speed, a public attempt to make the numbers look better, which is shocking." She added.

  However, after Trump made the above remarks at the rally, a government official said that the president was "clearly joking." The official said, "He is obviously joking. We are the world leader in testing, and have conducted more than 25 million (new coronavirus) tests."

  Fudge, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said last week that the recent increase in confirmed cases was not due to higher detection rates. He also pointed out that the United States is still in the "first wave" epidemic, and people's activities may be the reason for the recent increase in the epidemic.

  According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 6:33 on June 22, Beijing time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of the new crown in the United States exceeded 2.27 million, and the deaths exceeded 119,000.
