A few days ago, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified public health officials in all 50 states and 5 major cities to distribute the new crown vaccine to health care workers and other high-risk groups at the end of October or early November.
Some media confirmed that the CDC required states to abandon certain licensing requirements for medical device companies in order to establish vaccination sites by November, which is only a few days before the presidential election.
The "New York Times" pointed out that although experts believe that government agencies at all levels should make urgent preparations for the huge vaccination plan of the American people.
However, the possibility of launching a vaccine at the end of October or early November has aggravated public concern that the President Trump administration is seeking to rush to distribute the vaccine before the election day; or simply hinting that the vaccine is coming.
On the other hand, the "Wall Street Journal" stated that due to the huge financial stimulus support to deal with the epidemic, the US government debt will exceed GDP in this fiscal year, which is the first 12 months ending on September 30. This will be the United States after World War II. Debt has reached this scale for the first time.
In addition, the latest Beige Book released by the Federal Reserve on September 2 showed that the recovery of US economic activity slowed down in August.
Due to weak demand, some American companies are turning temporary dismissals into permanent layoffs.
