US expert: The new crown epidemic is not over yet, downplaying the epidemic is irresponsible.

Xinhua News Agency, Washington, September 25-In response to the remarks in the United States about "the new crown epidemic has ended", a number of experts in the United States recently issued a document pointing out that the new crown virus in the United States has not been controlled, and it is reckless and irresponsible to play down the epidemic.

The Washington Post also recently published an editorial stressing that the new crown epidemic is not over. The article said that the new crown epidemic is still raging, the new crown virus is still infecting people, getting sick and dying, and the virus is still mutating and infecting the world.

According to the latest weekly report on the new crown epidemic of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. currently has nearly 60,000 new crown confirmed cases on a 7-day average and 358 deaths on a 7-day average. In addition, since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the United States, the United States has reported more than 95 million confirmed cases of new crown and more than 1 million deaths.

Steven Slaher, a professor at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, posted on social media that downplaying the epidemic is reckless and irresponsible. Thrasher is worried that many states and local governments, businesses and educational institutions may abandon all epidemic prevention measures.

Eric Topol, a professor of molecular medicine at the Scripps Institute in the United States, pointed out in a commentary in the Los Angeles Times that all the data show that the new crown epidemic is not yet under control in the United States, that too many people are still dying and that many people are still suffering.

Topol said that given the number of untested and unreported cases, the number of new confirmed cases in the United States over the past period is actually "several times" the number of new coronavirus cases reported, and that the new coronavirus is still achieving its "main goal" of finding a large number of new or duplicate hosts for replication and continuation. If you pretend that the epidemic is over, then "we will be vulnerable".

Lawrence Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown University in the United States, believes that as the United States enters the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases and a new round of vaccination activities is launched, the public should remain vigilant.

a survey report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in June this year showed that nearly 1/5 of adults who have been infected with the new coronavirus in the United States and whose tests have turned negative still have some symptoms, including fatigue, tachycardia, shortness of breath, and cognitive difficulties., Chronic pain, abnormal sensory function, muscle weakness, etc.

a few days ago, a large number of protesters gathered on the north side of the White House to hold a demonstration, calling on the US federal government to pay attention to the negative impact of the epidemic. Claudia Carrera, who participated in the demonstration, said that the death and disability caused by the new crown virus are continuing to seriously affect African Americans, Latinos and low-income groups.

a report released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the end of August this year showed that the average life expectancy in the United States in 2021 was nearly one year shorter than the previous year. This is the second consecutive year of decline in the data, with the report saying that the new crown epidemic is the primary cause. A separate report from the agency showed that the new crown in 2021 became the third leading cause of death for the American people after heart disease and cancer for the second consecutive year.
