Why is the American epidemic so serious? How many people are infected?

At present, the number of people infected with COVID-19 virus in the United States has exceeded 5 million. About one in every 60 Americans will be infected with COVID-19 virus. Some people will be curious. A superpower like the United States has the most advanced medical equipment and professional medical staff. Why is the epidemic in the United States so serious?

The main reason is that when the epidemic broke out, Americans despised COVID-19. Although China is doing its best to fight COVID-19 and buy the world time to fight the epidemic, Americans don't think so. They think that COVID-19 is just a common cold, and there is nothing to be afraid of. American leaders even openly challenged China, believing that it was unnecessary to wear masks to protect them, misleading the American people. Secondly, when the American epidemic broke out, the United States did not focus on fighting the epidemic, but constantly provoked contradictions with China. Blame the outbreak on China. The American government didn't play a role in fighting the epidemic, and American leaders even announced that drinking disinfectant could cure COVID-19. This absurd remark has caused many tragedies.

In addition, Americans advocate freedom and are not controlled. Unlike China people, they can stay at home because of the orders given by their superiors, without causing trouble to the motherland. Therefore, this also increases the risk of Americans being infected with the virus. Some time ago, a large-scale demonstration broke out in the United States because a black man was abused and suffocated by the American police, which also gave the virus an opportunity. In addition, although the medical equipment in the United States is advanced, the basic drugs depend heavily on China. At the beginning of the outbreak, the United States was once exposed that there were not enough nucleic acid reagents, and many Americans could not conduct nucleic acid testing. In the United States, some wealthy people with status can give priority to nucleic acid testing, while some poor people without status may not be able to do it or have no money to do it. Therefore, many people infected with COVID-19 virus have nowhere to seek medical treatment or even no money for treatment. These are the reasons for the serious epidemic in the United States.
