China News Service, January 18th. According to the "Central News Agency" report, on the 17th local time, the "New York Times" published an article reviewing how the United States has let itself into the abyss of the epidemic in the past year.

  The newspaper pointed out that the White House’s reluctance to unify the national epidemic prevention strategy, the state governors’ refusal of health experts to stay out of the door, and endless misinformation have contributed to today’s epidemic.

On January 13, 2021 local time, in Anaheim, California, the government placed a large temporary new crown vaccination site in the local Disneyland Resort.

  According to reports, the outbreak of the new crown virus in the United States has not been controlled for nearly a year, causing about 400,000 Americans to die from the new crown virus.

  A retrospective article in the "New York Times" pointed out that political opposition and rejection of scientific views made it impossible for the United States to contain the epidemic during almost the entire period of the new crown pandemic.

Among them, the most significant and serious harm comes from the federal level.

  U.S. President Trump claimed that the virus would "disappear", disagreed with the highest-level scientists, and gave up responsibilities and delegated key and major decision-making powers to states, thinking that each state could repel the epidemic and restart the economy.

  However, the governors and local officials responsible for responding to the crisis have left health experts aside, ignoring the warnings of the health professionals and their own staff, and wasting the country’s few epidemic prevention chips. In some places, there are even consultant groups that are stuffed in. The phenomenon of more business representatives than doctors.

  According to the New York Times, it has been nearly a year since the first confirmed case of the new crown in the United States appeared in the north of Seattle on January 21, 2020. A picture of the total failure of the United States' epidemic prevention has clearly emerged: the number of new crown deaths has reached the 400,000 mark; confirmed, Records of hospitalizations and deaths have repeatedly hit new highs; although the vaccine has been released for rescue, it has encountered major problems such as lack of federal coordination in vaccine delivery.

  The New York Times interviewed more than 100 health, political and community leaders across the United States, and checked some emails and state government records, and pointed out the root causes of the failure of the United States to prevent the epidemic as follows:

  First, the current severe epidemic can be traced back to the hasty restart of economic activities in the spring of 2020.

Many governors, ignoring the opposition of their aides, have caused a new wave of epidemics to reignite and worsen over time. Today, the average number of confirmed cases in a single day in the United States has not fallen below 20,000.

  Second, it is common to put science aside in all levels of government.

Since the outbreak, more than 100 state and local health officials have resigned or been fired.

In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis took the professional opinions of important scientists as ears, and turned to Atlas, Trump's adviser who advocated the "herd immunity" policy.

  Third, although White House officials do not underestimate the importance of masks like Trump, there are records showing that at least 26 states ignore the White House's masks and other health recommendations.

On January 1, local time, citizens of San Francisco, California, USA, wore masks to relax in a park.

  According to the New York Times, the hasty economic restart in the spring of 2020 missed the opportunity to contain the epidemic. In the summer, health experts were exhausted, left alone or even harassed. In the fall, although the scientific record of effective anti-epidemic masks is full , The governors still resolutely adopted, and finally ushered in a gloomy winter with record numbers of deaths.

  The U.S. population now accounts for only 4% of the world’s population, but it accounts for 20% of the world’s deaths due to illness. The United States, which has the highest wealth, technology, and national strength, is now the country with the highest density of epidemics and twice the fatality rate of other countries. .

Federal officials also warned that by March 2021, the mutated new coronavirus will be circulating in the United States.

  Although President-elect Biden of the United States is about to take office, he also announced an ambitious vaccination plan, but insufficient supply of vaccines will hinder the launch of related plans, and political disagreements between whether the vaccine is credible and which groups should give priority to vaccination have already been established.

  At the end of the article, the five days with the highest number of new crown deaths in the United States in a single day occurred in January 2021.

As the calendar opens a new page, the out-of-control epidemic situation is more serious than ever before.
