　　The actual number of infections in the United States or 3 to 20 times the reported number

　　Fauci: Disagrees with Trump's "The Epidemic Is Ending"

　　The United States is still the country with the worst new crown epidemic in the world, with a total of more than 6.44 million confirmed cases and more than 192,000 deaths.

Even so, the number of confirmed cases in the United States is still questioned to be far lower than the actual number.

　　Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health said that due to limited testing capabilities, the United States only conducts virus testing for people with moderate or severe symptoms, so the number of infections is seriously underestimated.

Relevant research shows that the actual number of infections in the United States is 3 to 20 times the reported number.

　　In response to the current situation in the United States, Frieden, former director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said on the 9th that the United States is a "global laggard" in responding to the epidemic, not only unreliable, but also without empathy.

　　While the epidemic is so severe, US President Trump has been exposed to deliberately downplaying the epidemic.

In this regard, Frieden said that without trust, the epidemic cannot be controlled. For an epidemic, the key principle is honesty. Telling people what you know is essential to curbing the spread of the deadly virus.

　　In addition, American infectious disease expert Fauci also said on the 11th that he disagreed with Trump's remarks that the epidemic was "coming to an end".

He believes that the current U.S. epidemic data is "worrying". If the United States wants to resume normal life before the epidemic, it will wait at least "after 2021, or even around the end of the year."

On September 1, local time, Nice, France, students returned to school after the summer vacation. Teachers and students wear masks to take protective measures indoors and outdoors.

　　High-risk regions in France increased to 42 provinces

　　More than 100,000 residents in Spain re-enter control

　　Facing the continuing deterioration of the epidemic, many countries have once again strengthened prevention and control.

　　French Prime Minister Castel said on the 11th local time that the country’s epidemic has “significantly worsened”.

France this week added 14 provinces to the high-risk areas (red zones) of the epidemic, and this has increased the number of high-risk areas in France to 42 provinces.

　　Due to the local outbreak of the epidemic, the regional governments of Spain have successively returned some towns and neighborhoods to the state of control. At present, more than 100,000 residents across Spain have re-entered the state of control due to the outbreak.

　　The British government recently announced that starting from the 15th, families living in Birmingham and nearby Sandville and Solihull areas are prohibited from holding gatherings.

Subsequently, 9 districts including Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Liverpool, and Sheffield were also included in the government's surveillance list due to a significant increase in confirmed cases.

Currently, nearly 8 million people in the country will be subject to stricter epidemic control in the near future.

　　In order to prevent crowds from gathering in hotspots in the city, the Rio de Janeiro municipal government announced on the 11th local time a number of measures to control crowd gatherings, including banning alcoholic beverages in restaurants after 9pm and banning music and dancing in dining venues. Performances etc.

Harley said that Egypt is cooperating with the International Vaccine Alliance and has already booked 30 million doses of vaccine. Egypt will start the third phase of clinical research on two anti-coronavirus vaccines together with other countries in the world.

　　At a government work meeting on the 9th, Prime Minister Ma Ming of Kazakhstan instructed the Kazakh health department to further improve the detection capabilities of the new crown virus, and speed up the negotiation of new crown vaccine procurement and the progress of the country's new crown vaccine research and development.

　　South African President Ramaphosa called on the 10th that all countries or regions in the world should support the ongoing global new crown vaccine research and development to ensure that the new crown vaccine can come out as soon as possible and be widely used around the world, and strive to overcome the epidemic as soon as possible.

Once the vaccine is successfully developed, South Africa will achieve domestic production.
