In fact, the actual number of infected people in the United States far exceeds 5 million. As can be seen from the epidemic data in the United States, the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 7.4 million. Let's get to know the epidemic data in the United States first, and then carry out the next analysis. According to the real-time data of American epidemic released by Johns Hopkins University, up to now, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States has reached 7406 146, with 44535 newly confirmed cases and 2 10785 cumulative deaths.
Judging from this data, the current epidemic situation in the United States is still not optimistic. The newly confirmed cases rose rapidly for more than five months, with no obvious signs of improvement, and remained between 30,000 and 80,000 for a long time. This only shows that the epidemic in the United States is still in a period of large-scale outbreak, so the problem comes. There are over 7.4 million confirmed cases in the United States. Why didn't you see the information of medical run or bankruptcy in the American medical system? The author believes that this is easy to understand. In order to find out why the American medical system has not collapsed, it is necessary to find out who the American medical system serves. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, has answered this question.
According to Bill Gates? Are the measures taken by the United States to fight the epidemic ineffective? The reason is? Rich people in the United States can be tested several times a day, while most poor people in the United States have not been tested once after being infected with COVID-19 virus until their death. ? From this sentence of Bill Gates, we can see that the American medical system will always serve the rich. The rich themselves are a minority in society. After all, most people can't afford expensive medical expenses. Let's talk with a set of data. As early as the early days of the outbreak in the United States, when 200,000 people were just diagnosed, the death toll had exceeded 1 10,000 people, but the number of people admitted to ICU in New York State was less than 200.
In other words, the vast majority of American civilians cannot be found and treated in time after being infected with COVID-19 virus, and only those with money can afford to live in ICU intensive care unit. If an American civilian without medical insurance is infected with the virus and goes to the hospital for treatment, this person will face 70,000 US dollars in medical expenses only in the first six days, which most civilians cannot afford. As a result, about 65,438+04% American adults directly chose to give up treatment because they could not afford the high medical expenses. More than 70% of infected American civilians are always waiting in line, and they can't enter the hospital at all, so they can only be isolated at home.
Obviously, the vast majority of infected people have not entered medical institutions, which is the main reason why the American medical system has not collapsed so far. Then some people will ask, why doesn't the US government treat civilians at a reduced price? In fact, the main reason why the US government is unwilling to ask the medical system to cut prices to treat civilians is that once the price is cut, the whole medical system will soon collapse completely, and as a result, the American medical system will be completely paralyzed, and even the rich will not be treated in time. So they won't ask the medical system to cut prices to treat patients at all.
