California pandemic precipitates, doctors say large-scale war with virus
California is the most severely affected state in the United States. In the early hours of the morning Beijing time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in California has exceeded 1.87 million. If California is classified as a country, its cumulative number of confirmed cases ranks ninth in the world. ; The cumulative death toll in California has exceeded 22,000.
Under the severe situation of the epidemic, California’s medical system continues to face tremendous pressure and the number of beds remaining in intensive care units in many places is zero.
Thomas Yadgar, head of the intensive care unit at a California hospital, recently said in an interview with CNN that they are currently experiencing a “full-scale war” over the new corona virus.
Thomas Yadgar, head of the hospital’s intensive care unit: The situation is very scary. The situation is much worse than in the previous nine months. No matter how hard we try to treat patients and stabilize their condition, when one patient returns home, In the empty beds, there are four more seriously ill patients in line. In the last four months, the conditions of hospitalized patients are getting worse. They also know that a hospital is difficult to find. They try to wait. I have patients. After waiting a long time at the hospital, I asked them why they weren’t arriving early. His answer broke my heart. They told me they didn’t want to occupy other people’s beds. Other patients were more seriously ill and needed more care.
Yadgar said that after the traditional party at the end of last month, the number of cases in California has skyrocketed again, and the experience of many patients he treated shows that the new corona virus “takes advantage of the desire of the people to meet family and friends on vacation, “as long as If the epidemic prevention measures are relaxed a little, people will be infected.
Data shows that on November 1, the seven-day average number of new confirmed cases in California in a single day was 4,183. Just a month and a half later, on November 17, this data doubled to 38,774 cases. On the 17th, the actual number of newly confirmed cases in California surpassed 50,000. As of 18 local time, there were more than 16,000 patients hospitalized with new coronary pneumonia in California, of whom about 3,000 were seriously ill. As of the 17th, the data shows that California has fewer than 1,300 intensive care beds. Medical personnel in Los Angeles, the epicenter of the California epidemic, said they were being crushed.
Brad Spielberg, Medical Director at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles County: They’re crushing us. I’m not going to whitewash our peace. They are crushing us. For most of the past week, I woke up in the morning in intensive care beds. It is zero.
US officials “say one thing and do another” in epidemic prevention draw public ire
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the United States has not stopped questioning and opposing epidemic prevention measures such as wearing face masks, reducing gatherings and avoiding travel. The ABC noted in a recent report that this is somewhat similar to the United States. The hypocrisy of officials to “say one thing and do another” has a lot to do with it.
During the holidays last month, the mayor of Denver, Colorado, while urging people to avoid travel, took a plane to Mississippi for his vacation.
A Pennsylvania mayor asked to ban indoor dining in restaurants, but he ate at a Maryland restaurant himself.
There are many other American officials who do not comply with the epidemic prevention regulations issued by themselves: the governor of Rhode Island was witnessed going to a bar to drink; the mayor of Austin, Texas took a private jet to Mexico after celebrating a wedding; California The governor dined with many people in a restaurant; And the day before, the mayor of San Francisco had a birthday party at this restaurant.
The ABC report noted that the American people are concerned about whether they can go out to work or shop, but these officials go out to have fun without restriction. Many American experts and scholars pointed out in this regard: “These bad examples may make more Americans question and unwilling to abide by epidemic prevention regulations.” “It is the hypocrisy of these politicians who are inconsistent in their words and deeds that has thrown the American people into chaos.” Because some Americans feel that most of these politicians are well educated, know more, and are more informed, “if they don’t take the epidemic seriously, the epidemic will not be terrible at all.”
Melinda Jackson, a political science professor at San Jose State University in the United States, said in an interview that the United States is in a crisis of increasing cases of new coronary pneumonia infections, hospitalizations and deaths. Officials must “lead by example” to raise public awareness of the epidemic. Gravity.
