Who have died from the epidemic?

As of today, 530,000 people have been diagnosed in the United States, including more than 175,000 people in New York State, more than any other country. Will the United States be greatly affected after this epidemic? I don't think so.

Everyone knows that there are two major contradictions in American society. In the past, it was the contradiction between races, between white people and people of color; now it is the contradiction between the rich and the poor. He himself said that the main reason Trump came to power was to win the support of voters who were dumber than him. Most of these voters were not elites and hated the politicians of the past, so they chose a president who dared to speak and act. Why Trump dared to underestimate the epidemic before was mainly to win the support of these people. If he had gambled in the right direction and the epidemic was not serious, he could have won the support of more middle voters and preserved the economy; if he had gambled in the wrong direction, These voters who originally chose him will not change because these people are relatively determined.

The epidemic is more like a filter in the United States. Whether it will have a long-term impact on the United States mainly depends on who is screened out. Previously, Xiaoxiao GO and Zhenzhen in the group said, "The most miserable people in the epidemic are the poor, the uninsured and small private enterprises." The description is very apt. In reality, black people are most affected by COVID-19 in the United States. A research report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on April 8 analyzed the data on hospitalized patients in the United States in March. Among them, African Americans accounted for one-third, and the mortality rate was as high as 70%.

Why is the infection rate among black people so high? According to our impression, black people should be stronger and more resistant. In fact, these are all illusions. Because black people have low incomes, most black people eat unhealthy food, live unhealthy lives, and suffer from various chronic diseases for a long time. In addition, when the ban on social activities was introduced, many jobs for white people can be completed at home using computers, but many jobs for black people and other races must go to work. A large number of them work in grocery stores, nursing homes, construction site transportation or hospitals. Low-income workers such as caregivers rely on meager weekly wages and may not even be able to receive relief from the U.S. government after losing their jobs. They mainly rely on public transportation, subways, and buses to commute to get off work every day, which also increases the chance of mutual infection. It is also difficult for them to be at home after get off work. Instead, many people gather on the street corners to chat and laugh. Because the houses they live in are generally relatively small, and many of them live together, they are more likely to transmit the virus than outdoors. These people have no extra savings, no stable jobs, and many of them even have no medical insurance. Will they be able to treat the disease after contracting it? It is better to rely on the hospital than to rely on your own resistance.

What about the elite? They are also divided into rich people and gold-collar white-collar workers. The rich stay away from their homes in the city and come to resorts or their own mansions, or temporarily rented villas, away from the crowds. They can buy a week's worth of food and supplies in one scan, so that before Many local residents on the Outer Banks protested that these wealthy people had bought out their daily necessities. These mansions are located in the depths of lush grass, with stone paths interspersed through them. Just like parks, the rooms also have entertainment rooms, fitness rooms, and swimming pools. Those at the beach can also sail out to enjoy the sea breeze. Ordinary gold-collar white-collar workers live in their own single-family villas and rarely go out. They complete their work in front of the computer at home, and the chance of being infected is greatly reduced.

As the richest region in the United States, California has the lightest COVID-19 epidemic, with a population of one million The infection rate ranks only 29th in the United States, lower than many agricultural states. The death toll per million people was only 14, ranking 32nd. Some scholars say that perhaps because California is the state with the closest ties to China, Californians were unknowingly exposed to the virus before the outbreak in the United States. They recovered with mild symptoms and followed flu treatment, and subsequently developed immunity. California is starting an immunity screening to see how many people and what percentage of the population are immune, so they can start working as early as possible with peace of mind.

It seems that this is a disease targeting the poor. No wonder the American elite is not in a hurry. Wealth, power, knowledge, and technology are all in their hands. As long as they exist, the United States will Still strong. Stocks can rise again after falling, and if workers who provide specific labor are lost, more immigrants will take their place.

Why don't Europe and the United States control the epidemic well? Although it is cruel, they are using this opportunity to solve the problem of social aging, and then a new round of development may begin. This is really a cruel world!
