How long did the shortage of medical supplies in the United States last during the epidemic?

The epidemic will last 18 months or longer. The United States released this report within the government on June 5438+03, and the document was obtained by The New York Times and made public on June 5438+07. This 100-page federal plan shows the severe situation of COVID-19 epidemic and outlines how the whole government will take countermeasures. There may be a shortage of materials, which will affect health care, emergency services and critical infrastructure. The report warns policy makers that the epidemic will last for 65,438+08 months or longer and may contain multiple waves, which will lead to a general shortage of materials and put pressure on consumers and the US medical system. The report further pointed out that some state and local governments in the United States, as well as key infrastructure and communication channels, will be under pressure and their reliability may be reduced. These pressures may increase the difficulty of directly obtaining information in these fields and bring challenges to coordination.
