中新網北京6月19日電(蔣鯉)當地時間6月15日,美國國家過敏癥和傳染病研究所發(fā)布消息,該研究所所長福奇博士新冠病毒檢測結果呈陽性。
美國前總統(tǒng)特朗普在任時期,福奇曾多次批評特朗普政府的防疫政策。而如今,即便是拜登連任,福奇仍去意已決?!度A爾街日報》認為,這顯示出福奇對美國防疫的無可奈何。
據美國約翰斯霍普金斯大學的統(tǒng)計,截至6月10日,在過去28天里,美國的新增新冠肺炎病例數高居全球榜首,單日新增病例數超10萬。美國疾控中心也在本周發(fā)出警告,稱兩種最新型、傳染性更強的奧密克戎變異株正在美國快速傳播,一些新型流行病的傳播風險也在加大。
如今,美國擁有全球最豐富的醫(yī)療資源和最先進醫(yī)療技術,但其累計確診和死亡病例數均高居世界首位,這一巨大的反差不禁令人唏噓。
美國起初擔心疫情影響經濟,公然淡化新冠病毒威脅、誤導民眾,稱其為“大號流感”,為疫情擴散埋下禍根,而美國政客拒絕反思自身抗疫政策,炒作疫情陰謀論,甩鍋推責,企圖轉移國內矛盾。
美國聯邦政府又無法制定全國統(tǒng)一的應對措施。各州政策五花八門,甚至相互矛盾,關于是否戴口罩、是否打疫苗的爭論不斷上演。而如今,面對數以千萬計的感染者,美國又選擇了“躺平”,宣布“與病毒共存”,鼓吹“群體免疫”,解除口罩令,不再要求保持社交距離。
如今,美國政府高官不斷被曝出感染新冠,而國內新冠死亡病例也已超百萬,可以說,這不是天災,而是人禍。新冠疫情全球大流行還遠未結束,任何國家都不應該松懈,只有繼續(xù)采取戴口罩、打疫苗等有效措施,使新冠病毒在全世界范圍內被消滅,人類才能取得這場戰(zhàn)斗的最終勝利!
Fauci tests positive. World’s Covid fight far from over
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the U.S. President Biden and director of the country’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has tested positive for COVID-19.
The person who knows best how to prevent the pandemic in the U.S. has once criticized Trump’s epidemic prevention policies for many times, but now the “U.S. anti-Covid captain” has made up his mind to quit his job even if Joe Biden is re-elected, which shows Fauci’s helplessness facing the epidemic situation in the U.S.
Data from the Johns Hopkins University shows that as of June10th, the number of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. in the past 28 days ranked first in the world, with more than 100,000 new cases per day on average.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this week warned of the grim epidemic situation in the U.S. According to the CDC, BA.4 and BA.5, two new subvariants evolved from the Omicron lineage are spreading rapidly in the country.
Now the U.S. with the richest medical resources and the most advanced medical technology in the world ranks first in the cumulative confirmed cases and deaths of Covid.
Disregarding citizens' lives, the U.S. government downplayed Covid-19's threat and misled the public from the very first, which has planted the seeds for the epidemic spread. And some politicians refused to reflect on their anti-Covid measures and kept hyping conspiracy theories about the epidemic, trying to shift domestic contradictions.
Meanwhile, the U.S. federal government failed to take unified measures across the country, but let all its states act independently, the result is, policies of various states are different and even contradictory, following by the debates over whether to wear masks or get vaccinated.
Who will pay for the consequences? Yes, the U.S. people.
And now many senior officials serves the U.S. government have been reported infected with coronavirus and more than one million people died of the epidemic in the country. It is not a natural disaster but a man-made calamity.
The epidemic is far from over across the world. The U.S., and all the rest countries in the world should not just lie down and do nothing. Only we humans continue to take effective measures like getting vaccinated and wearing masks, and wipe out the coronavirus in the world can we eventually win this battle.
