US response to COVID-19 is worse than in China. 100 times worse.

COVID-19 remains a constant threat and the United States has just reached a tragic milestone in pandemic that may not get much attention. The COVID-19 in the US mortality rate has now fallen to 340 million people, just over 100 times the rate in China. Let that sink in: The death rate from COVID-19 in the United States is 100 times greater than leave it in China, where the virus first emerged in humans and should where signs of directors Trump are to blame escalate the pandemic. It is not only China, which held its low death toll. Austria, Germany and Greece have been able to significantly reduce the death rate per capita than the United States in the region of East Asia-Pacific, Australia, Hong Kong, Mongolia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand all their plug-COVID 19 killed seven deaths per million inhabitants. Vietnam, with a population of 96 million, suffered fatal injuries at all. The countries that have acted in advance and effectively to the information available, were able to avoid the worst of the pandemic. Strong differences in mortality COVID-19 between the United States and other countries demonstrates the enormous difference between the US effective and successful campaign responses to the pandemic. Grab with China, where the first suspected case COVID-19 on December 8 was 2019. By December 31, the Chinese authorities have had the World Health Organization (WHO) informed about the threat. On 12 January, Chinese scientists had identified the virus that causes the disease and its gene sequence shared with the world so that all countries could COVID-19 tests to develop and begin working on a vaccine. Soon after, China has orchestrated a huge block with the school and office closures and rigorous work stay-at-home focused Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, where the outbreak originated, like many around the world as the draconian actions denigrated. Test increased Chinese health officials and the contact to isolate new cases of diseases of the track, built to house temporary health facilities COVID-19 patients, and about 42,000 doctors and nurses Wuhan in use. These steps of spreading the virus’ prepare shopping time controlled for other parts of the country in Hubei. To date, only 16% of Chinese-COVID 19 cases outside Hubei occurred. Of course, the number of deaths reported in China can also be an underestimation. This issue has been fixed at least once before upwards, and is likely to remain in the river for some time. But this is also for the US Even with under Count, the fact remains that China’s mortality rate in the order of 100 times less than the US rate in counting and flow. The response from China was not without reproach. Chinese local governments initially reported cases, and there are strong indications that also suppresses healthcare providers, others have tried to alert the transmissibility of the virus’. These are serious allegations that the merit control and criticism. Other countries in East Asia and the Pacific, their mortality rates remained similar control measures lower for those employed by China. Even aggressive “Test and trace” social distancing and masks carrying launched campaigns. The United States, meanwhile, wasted his chance by the virus to get. For at least six weeks after the first cases of COVID-19 arrived in the United States, the federal government and most state governments, made no attempt to implement measures such as stay-at-home jobs to put aggressive testing, the ‘isolation, contact tracing and quarantine. financial barriers for isolation and treatment remain. This slow response given weeks virus to spread unhindered and virtually unnoticed. The result? The United States now has the highest number of COVID 19 cases and most deaths than any other country in the world. The two countries most affected were in New York (nearly 3 in 10 US deaths) and New Jersey (1 in 10 deaths). Although controlling for population size, the United States to remain the countries with the highest number of new cases and new deaths a day – in the company of Brazil, Russia and Sweden. Unfortunately, we see little evidence that the federal government is required to reverse the type of urgent coordinated approach at the national assembly level, current trends. The Tsar tests crown of the White House, Admiral Brett Giroir, is down, and there are no plans to replace him, although sadly falls short of the United States number of daily tests that are required to safely stop the social distancing While we are now almost 500,000 daily tests are completed conductive Harvard researchers that are needed somewhere in the range of 1-10 million tests. Similarly, it is nowhere near enough to make contact instead of tracking to get the epidemic under US control. If we assume that five tracers contacts every day new case requires (a conservative estimate), only eight states have sufficient tracers. The United States now faces the double challenge of bringing safe reopening of the company and the epidemic under control. can the patchwork of different policies of the State and of messaging security measures often contradictory, including face masks, social distancing and even increase risks to human health and the economy of a first very delayed reaction. The data from China and other countries with heavy loss of life in this pandemic is not inevitable. Countries such as Greece, New Zealand and Vietnam Deploy strategies of different ingredients, but are common early and strong political commitment to a scientific approach and a strong adherence to WHO guidelines for testing, contact tracing and isolation of effective measures. The hard truth of the death rate that makes you think of the United States during this pandemic is that many of these deaths were avoidable. Countries that have had a rapid, have been largely coordinated action to prevent the situation, the worst effects of the virus that save thousands of lives and begin to open their economies, although no country is to avoid pain economic inevitable. The United States, continue to lose valuable time on the other side. Unless it is not aggressively implemented the lessons learned from successful nations fear the budget of US casualties increase is 200 times that of China.
