At a level where the number of people being added to the US epidemic is in the tens of thousands every day, the US healthcare system looks like it hasn't been collapsed and is still in good order. Many people will wonder why the situation with China is not the same, Wuhan at that time the number of diagnosed to eighty-nine million, the entire medical system has been paralyzed, the need for medical personnel from all over the past to support, and still in batches to go, divided into several batches to support, there are a number of go to the support of the doctors and nurses also collapsed, paid these unimaginable price, and the epidemic is only slowly controlled down.
Medical care in the United States is not free, and unlike the Wuhan epidemic, most of the treatment of patients is free, which is why countless patients flocked to hospitals leading to the paralysis of the hospital system.People who have lived in the United States for a long time should know very well that Americans can't afford to go to the hospital if they are sick if they don't buy health insurance. Just a routine minor illness, not a small operation, its medical costs will exceed your imagination, so most of the people in the United States have a stable job will pay a certain base amount of insurance, a person will have several insurance in the supply. And it's really about having a good guarantee that you'll be able to afford to see a doctor, stay in a hospital, and pay for expensive medical bills when you're older.
Many of the general population of the United States, mostly home quarantine, in addition to the problem of having health insurance, but also because there are a number of patients with minor illnesses, but of course more can not afford the high cost of medical care.Some of the homeless people you see everywhere, when they contracted neo-crown pneumonia, they actually had no place to go to be quarantined, and some people have even been seen in parking spaces, one by one, lying down, that's how they were quarantined.
In fact, most of the average Americans don't have the concept of savings, especially the low and middle-income earners, and when the unemployment rate gets higher and higher, they can't afford to pay the rent, and they end up wandering the streets, and that increases the risk of cross-infection.
The United States, in order to alleviate the epidemic, also used to establish some emergency centers like the Square Cabin Hospital, but in fact the beds inside were never full, and the reasons for this are also intriguing.
