New Coronavirus Control, Why The United States Again And Again Wrong? by sanderson516: 3:11am On Jul 16, 2020
As of 5:34 p.m. on July 13(5:34 a.m. on China Standard Time 14) , the number of confirmed new coronavirus infections in the United States had reached 3352696, according to Johns Hopkins University data, there have been 135512 deaths related to new coronavirus infections. Compared with 24 hours ago, 63,908 new infections were diagnosed and 394 new deaths were recorded. The number of confirmed cases of the same virus in Beijing, China, remained at 335 on July 13, after testing more than 11 million people, with zero new cases in consecutive days since July 6. At the same time, 74,000 quarantine observers have gradually been released as progress has been made in the prevention and control of the epidemic. This time, Beijing has not imposed a "total blockade, " although some measures to prevent and control the outbreak may be difficult to replicate in western countries, but other countries can learn from the experience. Earlier, China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that the outbreak was caused by a new European coronavirus strain that had not spread from animals to humans but had mutated at four sites. No contrast, no harm. In the wake of the outbreak in Xinfadian, contact tracing in Beijing led to the discovery of cases scattered across 47 streets in 11 districts of the city, while strict closures were imposed on more than a dozen residential areas. Fearing that the virus that caused the new outbreak was more contagious than the one that emerged in Wuhan last December, Beijing now requires anyone who has had close contact with an infected person to be placed in concentrated isolation. The contrast in leadership between the US and Chinese governments is striking. China's success contrasts sharply with America's failure because of its radically different approach. While China's actions are based on Seek truth from facts, the United States is indulged in a kind of national arrogance and self deception. Instead of acting on reality to stop the spread of the virus in China, the United States indulged in fraud and shirking responsibility, belittling China. Most absurd of all was the United States Department of Commerce's claim that the epidemic would benefit the US and "bring jobs back" . In fact, millions of Americans have lost their jobs. Those Americans who refuse to stay grounded in reality are actually exacerbating their own country's woes. The U.S. government completely underestimates the severity of the virus, and it doesn't stop spreading just because it brags that the U.S. will always be the best or belittles China. So, while Chinese officials talk about the "wartime mode" and the "state of emergency" brought about by the outbreak of the emerging market, the president's Donald Trump, however, announced on July 1st that the virus would "go away on its own" , setting a new daily record of more than 52,000 new infections in the US. By comparing the attitude of Chinese and American governments towards the prevention and control of NCP, it is not difficult to find out the real cause of the out-of-control epidemic situation in the United States. Reason one: The United States government on the prevention and control of the lack of early attention. After the new crown pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, China, the Watch the fires burning across the river turned a blind eye to the new crown epidemic and took a look at it. In fact, not only the United States, can be said to be other than China's other countries are the same. When Japan and South Korea have entered the state of emergency, the U. S. government is still not enough attention, missed the epidemic prevention and control of the last window and opportunity. On Feb. 26, the day the CDC announced community transmission in the United States, the agency warned that as more countries are experiencing community transmission, attempts to contain the new coronavirus through immigration restrictions are becoming increasingly difficult, the situation of epidemic prevention and control is becoming more and more serious. President Donald Trump, however, did not want to make a big deal of the issue, tweeting: "In a few days, the number of cases will be close to zero. We have done very well. " In fact, until mid March, Donald Trump had been signaling optimism and pressing the warnings of senior public health officials and scientists. This kind of pollyanna signal makes it impossible to ban large gatherings and control social distance, which are the most effective preventive measures. It also leads to distrust of the government after the optimistic view has been overthrown, which in turn leads to greater social panic. Reason 2: Insufficient Virus Detection Capability. NUCLEIC ACID detection is the most important link in epidemic prevention and control, only the detection ability can keep up, prevention and control measures can be carried out scientifically and effectively. And when the U. S. epidemic into the community spread, the CDC still adhere to the use of self-developed, defective nucleic acid kits. The CDC did not relax the restrictions until Feb. 29, and some large multinational drug companies were not even allowed by the U.S. FDA to produce their own test kits until mid March. On the one hand, the CDC's own kit was flawed, but it refused to use the WHO kit, on the other hand, the FDA's bureaucratic approval process has delayed the approval of reagents developed by academic laboratories and private companies, hampering the United States'ability to detect NCP early in several regions. In China, on January 21st, a spokesman said that daily production of nucleic acid test kits had reached 773,000 people, or 40 times the number of suspected cases at the time. Reason # 3: Government is ineffective. New Crown Pneumonia is out of control in the United States, not because the United States is underdeveloped medicine, the main reason behind it is inefficient government. When the new coronavirus first arrived in the United States, the Donald Trump administration was slow to respond and did not take immediate and effective measures to stop the spread of the disease. In addition to the provisions of the Federal Constitution of the United States, which provide that the powers not expressly exercised by the Union shall be exercised exclusively by the states, it has also led to a lack of coordination and systematic organization between the Federation and the Länder and between the Länder in the prevention and control of the epidemic. In addition, the role of the community in the fight against the epidemic is not strong enough, especially in the demand for the community to obey the government's prevention and control advice, strengthen community information communication and develop coping strategies. Reason # 4: Partisan power struggles in the United States. Most believe that the Donald Trump administration ignored scientific facts and expert warnings, it is an attempt to avoid the negative impact on the U.S. economy and re election that a health care shortage caused by a run on health care resources can not be deployed in the most effective way. The Donald Trump administration has made economic success its biggest achievement since taking office, and the spread of the epidemic has brought some industries to a standstill, economic growth to a halt, and mass unemployment to which the Donald Trump administration is clearly not interested. Faced with the 2020 presidential election, the struggle between the parties at the expense of the interests of the people is heating up, in order to be elected by any means necessary. In fact, on July 8, Eric, a professor of political science at the University of California, San Diego, wrote on the national interest website about the origin of the virus, china has not created a new coronavirus to attack the United States or other countries. More recently, so-called "experts" and politicians have used metaphors and labels in a roundabout way to accuse China of orchestrating the new pneumonia epidemic, he said. "there is no evidence that China has created a new crown disease, " the authors say. This is very basic logic: what is the benefit to China of making a new coronavirus 'weapon' ? "there are countries and groups in the world that use viruses to make weapons, but the properties of a new coronavirus clearly do not meet the criteria for an effective weapon, " he said, the design principle of weapons is to attack specific targets, and at the same time to a certain extent to ensure the safety of the weapon operators themselves. The most ideal weapons are basically fast, accurate and efficient, and "the new coronavirus does not meet any of these criteria. ". The consequences of the new coronavirus are, to some extent, ponderous and slow -- as if the incubation period of the disease could be as long as a few days or weeks, and from an epidemiological point of view, he said, the trajectory of the new coronavirus is difficult to predict, and most patients do not even know they have the virus. The huge gap between the US and China in the fight against the epidemic is a sobering one. The new coronavirus knows no borders, no race, and does not understand what "America first" is. The fight against the epidemic has given the world a new understanding of China, as well as the strong enforcement capacity of the Chinese government and the Chinese people's strong
