Mayor new york called for help: medical supplies were urgently needed. The epidemic situation in the United States is not optimistic, and it has become the third largest epidemic area in the world after Chinese mainland. In particular, New York accounts for half of the confirmed cases, with more than 20,000 cases, and the number of confirmed cases is still increasing, making it the most serious epidemic area in the United States.
New york Mayor Bill De Beer Bill de Blasio also jumped out and shouted, "In about 10 days, we will see material shortages in various places. If we don't have more ventilators, people will die. Because new york has accounted for half of the national cases, and the number is still increasing.
Doctors in all parts of new york reported that medical supplies at the front line of the epidemic had been exhausted, and medical personnel lacked protective equipment. The governors of other States called on the Federation to provide more materials, and the warning of material shortage had a wide impact across the country.
WHO warned that the virus is "accelerating" to spread to the whole country, and with the increase of confirmed cases, materials and medical manpower are very tight. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Secretary-General of the World Health Organization, warned at a news conference that the COVID-19 epidemic was "accelerating". It took 67 days for the virus to be infected from the first case to the 654.38+10,000 cases, and only 4 days for the virus to be infected from 300,000 cases to 200,000 cases.
The Director-General of WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, even said that although it is possible to slow down the spread of the virus through isolation at present in exchange for more time, these are all preventive measures and cannot win the battle. Therefore, he once again called for testing every suspicious case and isolating and tracking the confirmed cases.
Tan Desai said that countries have invested a lot of manpower in research to find treatable vaccines and drugs. However, he said: "At present, there is no effective treatment for coronavirus pneumonia-19, and he warned against using drugs that have not been proved to be effective for this disease. 」
