Confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia in Africa are growing rapidly to 1.08 million, but it's less likely to surpass the number of infections in the United States.
There are now more than 5.4 million confirmed cases in the United States, a difference of 10,000 people in the number of infections in Africa. So it is unlikely that Africa will have more confirmed cases than the US anytime soon. Africa's population density is low, so the chances of the U.S. being infected in the same area are far greater than the African population. In addition, since the U.S. government decided to restart the economy of the states began, the U.S. epidemic has been a serious rebound phenomenon, the growth rate is also increasing. In particular, the number of cases in the U.S. state of Arizona has increased by 93% year-over-year compared to the pre-epidemic period. And, the U.S. government's treatment of the epidemic has led to its further spread. When the epidemic was severe, the U.S. government even decided to withdraw from the World Health Organization, which led to the loss of international aid to the U.S., resulting in the further loss of control of the epidemic.
The spread of the epidemic required personal protection efforts. But as the outbreak continues to spread in the United States, the government claims that it is not mandatory for people to wear masks. For the U.S. infectious disease experts also expressed skepticism, resulting in the prevention and control of the epidemic can not be scientifically missed the best time to prevent and control. At the same time, in recent times, the United States because of the Floyd event led to mass demonstrations, crowded, confirmed cases surge.
There is a small chance that the number of confirmed cases in Africa will exceed that of the United States. This is because the underdeveloped medical facilities in Africa have resulted in the inability to provide enough ventilators for the newly crowned pneumonia patients. In addition, the underdevelopment of industry has prevented the production of masks, and people can easily become infected without adequate protective equipment. For this situation in Africa, our country has sent corresponding medical personnel to assist, also donated a large number of medical equipment and masks for them, showing our humanitarian spirit.
Blocking the spread of the new crown epidemic is not the action of a single country, but requires countries to unite and work together.
