Because the symptoms of COVID-19 epidemic are very similar to influenza, many patients can't get accurate diagnosis and treatment at the initial stage of the epidemic because of their unknowns, but this doesn't mean that such patients don't exist. Trump just ignored this. The COVID-19 outbreak did occur in Wuhan, but this does not mean that Wuhan is the source of the virus. Today, with such close international ties, the Wuhan epidemic has started to break out, and other countries should start to be vigilant, but it is a pity that the US government has not controlled it, and even the authoritative government just thinks it is the flu.
New york is the largest city in the United States. There are many important high-tech industries here, and it is also a city with a very dense population and huge traffic. First of all, economic losses are inevitable, but now New York is listed as the hardest hit area, which means that people who have been active in New York are likely to carry the virus, and the virus is likely to have spread throughout the United States, which also means that the government's epidemic prevention measures are not in place and the government is likely to be unable to control the spread of the epidemic. So the American people must do their own prevention and control.
However, this is not all bad news. After the outbreak of the American epidemic, the American people have been influenced by the government's remarks and have not realized the seriousness of the matter. Now that New York State has been designated as the hardest hit area, a large number of people have woken up, realized the seriousness of the COVID-19 epidemic and started to take self-protection measures.
