The way Covid 19 patients are increasing in America, it is surprising the whole world. In a country whose population is not even 35 crore, so far more than 33 lakh people have been infected with Corona.

According to Johns Hopkins University, there have been more than 1,37,000 deaths in America so far. On July 7, the US recorded a record new cases in one day; over 60 thousand

Things are getting worse on the ground. According to the Washington Post, the burden on hospitals has increased. ICUs have also reached their potential. Health care workers are once again lacking masks, gloves and PPE.

According to USA Today, there are now more cases in China than in China, where the first cases of corona virus infection were found.

Even assuming that China is reducing its figures, even then the per capita infection rate in the population of 140 million of China – one person in 16000. At the same time, one person in 110 people is corona infected in America.

Not only this, every year more deaths in America are caused by corona than other diseases. For example, 55,000 deaths occur every year in the United States due to common flu and 1 lakh 21 thousand from Alzheimer’s. More deaths have been reported from Corona in the last 4 months only.

The special thing is that the government says something else and the expert says something else. When President Donald Trump spoke about the Corona infection, he could not express the seriousness of this danger in his own words.

Despite the circumstances still, the government is also talking about opening a school. President Trump is still saying that America is in a good position in view of the epidemic. The US government is satisfied that the death rate from corona in America is low and stable. People of the American government are repeatedly giving the same assurance to the public.

Is the government not listening to the opinion of experts?

America’s infectious disease specialist Doctor Anthony Fauchi is also a White House adviser on coronaviruses. They are saying that emphasizing the matter of low mortality is a wrong narrative.

He has warned that ‘this is just the first wave of Corona in America and America is completely embroiled in it too. If people do not take precaution, then there can be 1 lakh cases every day.

In March itself, Fauchi had estimated that between 1 lakh and 2 lakh deaths could occur in America. The figures which are currently in place, have proved their conjecture.

Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC organization of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of America, said that the case is being reported and in fact 10 more people are infected. According to him, 5 to 8 percent of the population in the country has been infected.

Last month, CDC deputy director Dr Ann Shukut said in an interview that ‘America … is not in a situation like New Zealand, Singapore or South Korea, where new cases are detected as soon as possible and people are contacted by contact tracing Is isolated. But there is too much virus in the US at present.

Government’s emphasis on lowering mortality

So, which is being repeatedly emphasized that the death rate is low and the governments of many countries are doing this, experts warn about that.

Older patients infected with Corona are more likely to get hospitalized and the elderly are the most affected.

According to CDC statistics, in every eight out of 10 deaths, the age of the patient was more than 65 years. But now even very young patients are coming to Corona Positive and there is very less chance of death among them.

For example, in the state of Arizona in the US, half the cases are 20 to 44 years old. More than half of the cases in Texas are under 50 years of age. So when the death rate is extracted, it comes out rarely.

Secondly, death is not just the result of Covid 19 infection. People continue to have physical and mental problems even after recovering.

Why are cases increasing in America?

There can be many reasons behind this. Firstly, the government did not show quickness in the beginning. The government did not understand the seriousness. Do not take steps to control virus infection.

Apart from America, there are other countries which did not take steps immediately and there were a lot of infected cases, such as Italy, Spain and Britain.

There were other problems as the state and local health departments were not allowed to make their own test kits and so all samples were sent to the CDC in Atlanta. After that, the CDC sent bad test kits to the states which caused further delays.

Now summer has come and people are returning to their normal activities. It is being said that there is a thinking among the youth in America that they do not have much danger.

When the states relaxed the lockdown, young people were seen wandering, without masking and not following social distancing, that is, underestimating the risk.

If we look at the number of corona infects on such a large scale in America, it seems that the government is saying different things, experts are saying different things and the message of its seriousness is not reaching even among the common people.
