What we have seen of the current situation in the United States is also what the U.S. government has announced, and the real situation may not be so, and Trump has been perfunctory, lying, and pretentious, so there is a very good chance that what is going on in the United States right now is not the real scenario.
Just as the American public has a limited understanding of us, we have a very limited understanding of the specific current situation in the U.S. Perhaps the U.S. healthcare system has long since collapsed, and we don't know. I remember a month or two ago, the news often mentioned the U.S. respirators, masks, protective clothing and other medical equipment gap is huge, however, with the rapid increase in the epidemic, the U.S. really can quickly produce it?
We believe that with the industrial strength of the United States, there is no problem in producing a large amount of medical equipment, but in if demand skyrockets in a short period of time, it will be difficult to solve. Secondly, most of the hospitals in the US are private, with high medical costs, and there are still tens of millions of Americans who do not have health insurance, and in the face of high medical costs, many people do not have the means to go to the hospital even if they have contracted neo-coronary pneumonia. On the one hand, because they don't have the money, and on the other hand, hospitals may not admit them.
Since many poor people are not admitted to hospitals, it would naturally lower the pressure on hospitals a bit, but with over 100,000 deaths in the US at the moment, the pressure on US healthcare organizations should be very high as well.
Many European countries have already implemented free treatment, but since most of the United States are private hospitals, there is nothing Trump can do in this regard, and in the face of such a large financial support, the U.S. government has kept its mouth shut about free health care. So far, the cost of testing and treating pneumonia needs to be borne by the individual, and that cost is bound to be prohibitively expensive.
The Trump administration may be to blame for this disaster, and just when Europe had the situation largely under control, the United States went so far as to open up its beaches, giving the virus the perfect breeding ground to wreak havoc. The opening may be something that Trump must run, for whatever reason, Trump or dragging the US into the abyss.
