Original title: since this year, the death toll of the new crown in the United States has exceeded that of last year
The number of deaths caused by COVID-19 in 2021 exceeded that of 2020.
According to Hopkins University data, the cumulative death toll of new crown in the United States reached 771013 on the 21st. The CDC data show that the total number of deaths in the new crown in the United States in 2020 was 385343. This means that the number of people who died in COVID-19 in 2021 increased by more than 1.5 000 over last year, and it is still more than a month before the end of the year.
The death toll of COVID-19 in 2021 surprised some doctors. They had hoped to reduce public activities by vaccinating and taking preventive measures such as maintaining social distance, so as to curb the spread of infection and minimize serious cases.
U.S. infectious disease experts believe that the delta variant is rampant, the vaccination rate is stagnant, and the people lack the awareness of wearing masks, resulting in the continuous spread of the epidemic among the unvaccinated people.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the CDC claimed that the fewer deaths from the epidemic in 2020 may be due to the lack of testing at that time, making it difficult to confirm the real infection cases.
Abraar Karan, an infectious disease doctor at Stanford University, believes that the more reason is the failure of epidemic prevention. "From this year on, we know what to do, but we still screwed up."
Karan believes that the United States has made mistakes in epidemic prevention and control. In fact, the role of the vaccine is not to completely stop the spread of the virus, but to protect critically ill patients, but U.S. public health officials have failed to effectively convey this message to the public, he said.
ANA Bento, an epidemiologist at Indiana University, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that although the vaccine is not a panacea, if the U.S. government can guide people to vaccinate as soon as possible, more tragedies may be avoided.
The guardian pointed out that the distribution of vaccines in the United States is highly uneven, resulting in the complete vaccination rate of only 59% in the United States, and only 17% of people have received booster shots, which is lower than that in France and Germany.
With the advent of winter, the epidemic situation in the United States has picked up again. Official data show that at present, the average number of newly confirmed cases in the United States has exceeded 88000 a day, an increase of nearly 40% since the end of October, which means that the number of newly confirmed cases in the United States has rebounded again after falling in recent 10 weeks.
