200,000 Americans died

At some point in 1993, two million Americans died. AIDS.. By that time, 10 years had passed since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. First explained The emergence of a mysterious new syndrome. Freddie Mercury and Arthur Ashe have died of the virus, and Magic Johnson has announced their retirement from the NBA. Still, the tragic milestones have gone unnoticed. HIV Main cause of death Among young American men, but researchers and activists were still fighting to raise awareness about the virus and then acceptance for those suffering. Two years ago, 100,000 Americans died AIDS.. The death was announced in 18-page short article of TimesPassionately reviewed statistics and forecasts.

novel Coronavirus Is trying to claim the lives of its 2 million Americans. (Maybe you’ve already done that, but the statistics are late.) It will happen in less than eight months. I didn’t have time to make a movie about it, and I didn’t have to raise awareness. Virus damage is tracked daily and hourly throughout the country and around the world. However, it does not make it easy to understand the extraordinary loss of life. In less than a year COVID-19 killed four times as many Americans as the Americans who died in the opioid crisis during its worst year. Since World War II, it has killed more Americans than the combined people who died in any armed conflict. Globally, it has killed nearly a million people.

Given such numbers, we may try to imagine the dead as individuals. The virus is worse for older people, but people of all ages have died, and for all races, backgrounds, trade, and political persuasion. Each lost life was embedded in the relationship web. by One estimate, Each person who died COVID-19 leaves an average of 9 surviving families. If this is correct, there are at least 1.8 million Americans lamenting the loss of relatives such as parents, husbands, wives, children, siblings, and grandparents, and millions in mourning with them. On the other hand, as a doctor, thinking that 200,000 lives have been lost reminds me of someone who couldn’t be saved when caring for patients early in the outbreak in New York. I think of a couple who were transferred hand in hand to a hospice unit. An old man who is worried about the use of a ventilator that a young parent who comforts an infant through FaceTime may need.

The moment of national tragedy usually encounters a rise in presidential rhetoric. The country expects to provide hope to leaders and give meaning to collective suffering. In a speech at Ground Zero three days after the attacks on September 11, George W. Bush told the country: The rest of the world listens to you. And those who knocked down these buildings will soon hear the voices of all of us. Then at the prayer meeting, Bush said. “Sadness, tragedy and hatred are only temporary, but goodness, memory and love are endless.” After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson told the country “hate.” And end the teachings and preaching of evil and violence. ” He urged Americans to turn away from the “Apostle of Bitterness and Prejudice.”

No such message is issued by this president. Donald Trump We have abandoned both management and moral leadership. (“I’m not responsible at all,” he said, and that’s what it is.) He confused his bully’s preaching platform instead of helping the country heal. Used to sow division and distrust. He is free to mislead the public about the lethality of the virus. He confused the efforts of public health agencies and afflicted them with his own brand of communalism and misinformation. He argues that the story of the virus is designed to hurt the outlook for his reflexes. Meanwhile, his deputy describes a pandemic that sickens and kills thousands of Americans every day in the past tense.

Have them Including the president, Question the truthfulness of the estimated death from the US coronavirus. That skepticism does not match reality. Throughout the United States Excessive deathFar beyond the official tally of — the difference in the total number of deaths from any cause compared to historical averages — COVID-19 deaths. Probably not a few, COVID19 deaths than we confirmed. And in addition to destroying the economy, pandemics Huge secondary health hazard.. Thousands of Americans have either postponed or canceled their medical care or chose to avoid it altogether for fear of being infected with the virus. Many people have died.

In the United States, the peak of panic Plateau of resignation.. The country keeps recording tens of thousands of new coronavirus cases every day, but there is no coherent plan to change its trajectory. I have never completely suppressed the virus, so I am experiencing the latest waves in the rising ocean. After the strict blockade in May, the number of newly diagnosed cases leveled off at about 20,000 per day. However, the number in September is close to 40,000. We are running more tests, which helps explain more newly identified cases. However, it is also true that the virus is spreading in more places than before.

Early in the pandemic, it became clear that there was no coherent and unified national response. The state was left to procure supplies and equipment on its own. Individuals and families have gone through a mixed message about how the virus is contagious and deadly, and how they keep themselves and their loved ones safe. At the end of February, surgeon chief Jerome Adams tweeted that the mask was “not effective in preventing the general public from catching the #coronavirus,” and CDC director Robert Redfield was worn by the general American. Mask pandemic to do. While these messages may be intended to protect the supply of masks to health care workers, they have seriously undermined public confidence in the information provided by the country’s highest health authorities. It was. The CDC advised the public to start wearing masks in early April, after tens of thousands of incidents were recorded in New York, and after the virus had spread to all states in the country. (Redfield has since stated that “covering the surface of the cloth is one of the most powerful weapons that must slow and stop the spread of the virus.”)

It’s easy to focus on country numbers. But the American pandemic story is actually about a virus that travels across the country looking for oxygen when it is being located in one or another area. A pandemic that began in a dense metropolitan area has now spread to all parts of the United States. In the northeast, corpses were once stored in refrigerated trucks, which is now one of the safest countries in the country. Other states, including California and Ohio, took early and decisive action, but incidents have occurred and deaths have increased over time. New at the beginning of June COVID-19 hotspots Most likely a rural county Than the one in the city. By then, the virus had sneaked into small towns and ski resorts. Navajo Nation And to the south of rural areas, and to prison, Retirement community, and Meat packing plant, Leave a trace of destruction in that trace.
