You are a poor or middle-class American with medical insurance. What would you do if you were diagnosed? Go to the hospital for treatment? No, you have too many troubles to solve.
First, you will check the cost of treatment. The numbers are scary enough to bankrupt you. You also know that there is no specific medicine, and whether you go to the hospital or not depends on your own immunity. Then why should I go to the hospital? Didn't Trump say that 80% of the people diagnosed were fine? Take a gamble and go to the hospital.
According to epidemiological analysis, the COVID-19 epidemic in the United States began in the autumn of 20 19. Although there are so many infected people now, they are all accumulated stocks, not concentrated outbreaks. So the infected people found now have passed the onset period, and there are not so many people who need hospitalization.
Then there is the lack of strong medical resources in the United States, which must be admitted. Moreover, during the epidemic, the United States robbed a lot of medical resources through laws, high-priced snapping up and other measures, which is incomparable to other countries.
Moreover, the incidence of COVID-19 is not high, and the intensity of lesions is poor, which gives the medical system enough time to deal with it.
Many friends are wondering, why is the epidemic in the United States so serious that the medical system in the United States has not collapsed? Why didn't the American people complain? There are many reasons for this. Let's first understand what is the collapse of the medical system. Simply put, medical resources are in short supply, hospitals are overcrowded, medical staff are in short supply, and medical materials are in short supply, so many people cannot be treated. The shortage of medical staff may be due to infection leading to fewer doctors, or too many patients to be busy. For example, in the early days of Wuhan's city closure, hospitals were overcrowded and the detection ability was seriously insufficient, which made the medical system collapse.
Although other countries in Europe and America can't co-ordinate the allocation of medical resources, because of the appointment system, even if most people can't get treatment, hospitals can be "orderly" and medical staff can smile as usual. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people have been diagnosed in Britain, but nightingale hospital with advanced equipment can vacate thousands of beds because there are no nurses. This hospital is like maginot line in the fight against the epidemic in Britain. Therefore, we have found the reason why the medical system has never collapsed despite its proliferation in Europe and America-as long as our hospitals are not overloaded, they will never collapse.
