Where does the problem of epidemic prevention in the United States lie? The reason is here!

Zhang Wenhong: The best time for early prevention and control has been lost

Zhang Wenhong believes that the reason why the United States is growing so fast now is because it has lost the best time for early prevention and control.

In addition, Zhang Wenhong said that the first experience accumulated from more than two months of prevention and control in China is that disease control personnel have spared no effort in tracking cases, but it is more difficult to do so in the United States. Secondly, young people in the United States have a lot of social activities, and the main thing many young people do every day can be summed up in two words - "hanging out". "Hanging out" poses the biggest risk of infection. People generally do not wear masks in the United States, and the same is true in the United Kingdom. Bars are packed at night. It's hard to imagine that nothing happened and they can chat with you all night over a glass of beer. The risk of transmission in this situation is extremely high.

Bill Gates: US responds too slowly to crisis

Bill Gates said in an interview that the United States responded too slowly to the coronavirus crisis and missed the opportunity to avoid forced "closures" in various places.

It is understood that many states in the United States have now entered a "closed" state. Businesses are closed, people stay at home, schools are closed, children return home, beaches and entertainment venues are closed, restaurants cancel dine-in services, and only a few essential living facilities are still open. Due to the increasing spread of the new coronavirus, states and cities have imposed increasingly stringent "social distancing" requirements on residents.

Bill Gates said everyone should look back at the moment when the first case of the new coronavirus was discovered in Washington State in January this year, "during this period of time we realized its spread, and we should do more now."

With less than 1% of aid funds, the mayor of New York is anxious

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a press conference on the 25th local time that it was "immoral" to allocate only $1 billion to New York City in the $2 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the US Senate.

According to a report on the U.S. News Weekly website on March 25, de Blasio believes that New York can only get $1 billion out of the $2 trillion economic stimulus plan to respond to the new coronavirus epidemic, which is far from enough.

"They (Congress) have allocated less than 1% of our aid, but we have one-third of the confirmed cases in the country. This is immoral!" de Blasio said.
