Daily increase of more than 500,000 diagnoses

January next year will be very difficult

　　The latest statistics released by Johns Hopkins University in the United States show that there were more than 510,000 new confirmed cases of new crowns in the United States on the 27th, reaching 512,553, the highest number of new cases in a single day since the outbreak.

　　According to data from Johns Hopkins University, as of 16:22 Eastern Time on the same day (5:22 am on December 29, Beijing time), the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States reached 53,09394, and the cumulative number of deaths due to new coronary pneumonia There are 820,419 people.

　　On the 28th, the United States also reached a new 7-day average daily increase of 254,496 cases-exceeding the country's record of approximately 25,1989 cases reported on January 11.

　　With the recent accelerated spread of the Omi Keron strain in the United States, the number of new confirmed cases, deaths, and hospitalizations of new crowns in the United States has continued to surge.

　　Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a medical analyst at CNN, also said that he believes that the United States may "see 500,000 diagnoses per day in the next week to 10 days-very easily -".

　　Dr. Ashish Jha, Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, said: “Next January will be a very, very difficult month. People should be prepared that many people will be infected within a month.”

Severely under-detected

The Biden administration was shamelessly criticized

　　In addition, due to the huge demand for virus testing energy, many Americans spend hours in queuing for PCR testing during the 2021 Christmas holiday, or uselessly looking for quick screening reagents at different pharmacies. President Trump’s failed epidemic prevention policy in 2020 and Biden, who campaigned on ending the new crown pneumonia epidemic, is very embarrassed.

　　Although the federal government has promised to provide 500 million sets of quick screening reagents for free in January, Biden admitted in an online meeting with state governors on the 27th that the federal government should have taken more measures to increase domestic screening. Energy, and said that he hoped that he would "consider ordering 500 million sets of quick screening reagents two months ago."

　　CNN stated that although Biden "dared to admit his mistakes," he might not help increase public confidence in the U.S. government. Although the White House vowed to defeat the new crown pneumonia epidemic, it has repeatedly underestimated the challenges brought by the virus, such as many experts for several months. It has been publicly stated many times that new variants of new coronary pneumonia will inevitably appear, and that rapid screening reagents should be provided to the public, but the White House ignored it, which eventually led to the outbreak of this "fast screening chaos".

　　According to analysis, the new crown crisis is about to enter its third year. Waves of epidemics are taking advantage of political differences, slow-moving bureaucracies, and public impatience and boredom to force the White House to catch up.

　　Parnell, a researcher and public health physician of the American Academy of Preventive Medicine, told CNN on the 27th that the United States knew the importance of virus detection energy, but there was a shortage of energy at a critical moment. "This is really shameful."
