The United States is the world's leading drug research and development country, and its medical technology and equipment are also the most advanced in the world. Among the top ten best hospitals in the world, there are four in the United States, and the medical system in the United States is also internationally recognized as developed.
According to the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from 2065438 to September 29, 2009, at least 34 million people in the United States were infected with the flu, 350,000 people were hospitalized, and the death toll exceeded 20,000. Under such a huge scale of infection, the American medical system has not collapsed, so the confidence of the American government is also reasonable.
However, unlike other viruses, novel coronavirus is a brand-new unknown virus. Even if the medical system in the United States is more developed, it will be useless without specific drugs and vaccines. This is also the saying that "a clever woman can't cook without rice".
However, after the outbreak of the epidemic in the United States, the powerful domestic medical system suddenly appeared to be somewhat weak. US Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar and other medical professionals warned that the COVID-19 epidemic "has risks beyond the capacity of our medical system, and we must admit it."
Second, the US government does not want the epidemic to affect the economy.
The United States is a capitalist country, and the American government has also expressed the will of capital.
When the COVID-19 epidemic spread to the United States, the American government did not immediately carry out epidemic prevention work, but stressed that COVID-19 was not terrible. Why? Because the U.S. government wants to stabilize people's hearts and prevent panic from spreading, it will not affect the stability of the stock market.
For American politicians, the COVID-19 epidemic killed some people, while the stock market crash killed all Americans. American politicians and behind-the-scenes capitalists need not worry about COVID-19 at all, because they have the ability to buy the best medicine and receive the most advanced treatment. But if the stock market crashes, the capitalists will lose their money and the government will not be able to appease the people's dissatisfaction. At that time, the whole society will fall into chaos, which is much more serious than the panic caused by the epidemic.
Why is the U.S. government only now beginning to prevent and control the epidemic? Because the U.S. stock market plummeted twice in a week, measures must be taken to stabilize the stock market. What needs to be emphasized here is that the US government's epidemic prevention work is not a panic caused by the increase in confirmed cases, but a panic caused by the stock market crash.
