WASHINGTON: Scandals and revelations attesting to a disastrous handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States continue to plague the Trump administration as the death toll in the United States of Covid-19 infections close to 75000, causing President Donald Trump will characterize it as a worse attack than Pearl Harbor and September 11.
The President of the USA USA He re-trained his weapons in China on Wednesday, even when his administration came under attack in his country for allegedly careless handling of the situation, leading to the US. USA To become the greatest host, and perhaps victim, of the new coronavirus. The United States now has nearly a third of the Covid-19 infections and deaths in the world, far more than China, even considering BeijingThe unreliable figures.
“We went through the worst attack we have had in our country. This is worse than Pearl Harbor. This is worse than the World Trade Center. There has never been an attack like this, “Trump responded defensively at a meeting of the Oval Office of the White House, while maneuvering to end the blockade and reopen the United States for business despite the advice of experts and the whistleblowers’ disclosures of corruption and nepotism in managing the pandemic.
When asked by a journalist if he viewed the Covid-19 outbreak as an act of war, Trump said he viewed the virus as the enemy. “I don’t like how it got here, because it could have stopped, but no, I see the invisible enemy as a war.” He said. Deep distrust of Chinese and Chinese citizens has now infiltrated the United States’ political discourse with calls from some conservative political sectors to restrict student visas to the Chinese and ban them from studying STEM subjects.
The President of the United States also opened another front in the course of the pandemic war, abruptly counteracting a nurse who told the face that the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) for health workers in the The United States is “sporadic”.
“The infection control measures we learned when we went to school, a gown and a mask for one patient per day, this is a different time,” said Sophia Thomas, president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners in front of the media. at Oval’s office, adding that she has been reusing a single N95 mask for “a few weeks.”
“Sporadic for you, but not sporadic for many other people,” an annoyed Trump interrupted, causing the nurse to back down on her criticism when the US president. USA He claimed there was enough equipment now, even when he blamed the last administration, which resigned from office more than three years ago, for leaving empty shelves behind.
The event came immediately after whistleblower revelations about Trump’s chaotic response at the White House, led by President Jared Kushner’s son-in-law, to the crisis, including the acquisition of PPE and medications in transactions involving favoritism, cronyism. and political pressure. Trump fired a whistleblower, a top health official, as a disgruntled employee trying to help Democrats win the next election.
In the midst of all this, 42 states will have completed the blockade partially or entirely on Monday despite the fact that several that rushed to reopen early are showing an increase in infections. But thanks to a downward trend in New York, an early access point that instituted tough measures, the national count of infections and deaths is showing a downward trend, encouraging the federal government to encourage states to end the blocking.
But the good news in New York was marked by worrying development with reports of 64 children hospitalized with a mysterious illness that some experts say may be related to Covid-19. In a notice to health care providers, state health officials said most of the children, believed to have what was called “pediatric multisystemic inflammatory syndrome,” had tested positive for the virus or for antibodies to it . Until now, children have been considered less vulnerable to Covid-19, and the eruption of such cases of inflammation has caused alarm.
Everything that originates in New York is cause for concern now after it happens that the state, according to studies, accounts for the spread of up to 65 percent of infections in the United States.
The impulse of the president of the EE. USA For the country to reopen it is undervalued by surveys and reports showing that minorities are far more affected by the coronavirus than whites in Central America who make up Trump’s base. According to a study, black people represent a disproportionate proportion of the population in 22 percent of US counties. And, those locations account for more than half of coronavirus cases and nearly 60 percent of deaths.
Another survey showed that Hispanics are almost twice as likely as whites to have lost their jobs amid a pandemic. The survey found that 20 percent of Hispanic adults and 16 percent of blacks report being fired or suspended since the outbreak began in the United States, compared to 11 percent of whites and 12 percent. percent of workers of other races
The consequences for minorities are most evident in the meat packaging industry, which is dominated by Hispanic and immigrant labor, with 10,000 cases and 45 deaths. Many meat plants across the country have been shut down amid rampant Covid-19 infections, leading to a national shortage in a meaty country.
Thursday’s job department job report showed that nearly 3.2 million people filed unemployment claims last week, up to 33 million (one in five Americans or nearly 20 percent of the 162 million workforce. ) the number of workers who have lost jobs since the pandemic. it started.
