On May 12, US President Biden issued a statement on the White House website to commemorate the tragedy milestone of the new American crown's death of 1 million. This is the "dark moment" in American history, which also marks the huge failure of the United States.

Why is the performance of the United States with a leading medical technology and rich medical resources, why is it so bad in resistance? The United States and Non -profit organizations have recently published a report in the "British Medical Journal (BMJ)" that the new crown mortality rate in the United States and the failure to solve excessive drugs, diabetes, and maternal mothers in the United States Public health issues such as mortality rates have exposed the disadvantages of the public health systems at all levels in the United States.

The failure of resistance to disease is urgent to deal with

Minfu Fund is a private non -profit foundation, which supports independent research on the reform of health policy and an efficient health system.

The report submitted to the BMJ report that more than 1 million Americans died of new crown pneumonia, and the US new crown mortality rate ranked among the top world. The report of the Minfu Fund stated: "The disaster of the new crown pneumonia in the United States is so large that the United States urgently needs to take response measures to protect millions of people from the impact of the new crown epidemic and future emergency situations."

The recent reports of the Washington Post website pointed out that one week before July 10, there were more than 100,000 new cases reported by the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, Professor Eric Popol, the Institute of Squas, who closely tracking the epidemic, said that infectious disease experts knew that the real data was far more than that, and it may be as many as 1 million cases. Some US officials warn that the trend of infection may be outbreak this fall or winter this fall. At that time, the number of infections in the United States may be as many as 100 million, which will make the hospital overwhelmed.

Each is a full leakage of politics

The report pointed out that although there are nearly 3,000 states, local and regional health departments in the United States, none of the Health and Public Services Department did not lead and coordinate the work of these health departments, which led them to their own politics and low efficiency.

The United States is a federal country and implements three -level management of federal, state and local governments. Public health affairs such as the new crown epidemic belong to state affairs, and the state and local governments are the main body. Under such a system, it is difficult for the United States to formulate a new crown epidemic response measures for unified national standards. For example, in 2022, Florida ruled that CDC forced to take a mask to "illegally" wears a mask. "Forbes" Double Weekly website said that 21 states in the United States "can't wait" to cancel the mask to cause the new crown cases to surge.

The report further emphasized that due to the delayed release of the test results and the excessive method of collecting data, there is a gap between states in tracking the new crown epidemic. In addition, during the period of popularity, "the torrent of false information was widely spread, and some were deliberately spread." There are also problems in the formulation of relevant guidelines and exchanges in the US government.

The report clearly states that the United States lacks a national public health system that can protect and improve health, promote health and fairness, and cope with personal emergency situations.

Increasing investment is urgent

In order to change the dilemma of the United States' defeat of the new crown epidemic, the report of the Minfu Fund proposes that the United States should urgently create a national public health system.

The report suggested that the US Department of Health and Public Service should become the center of the establishment of a national public health infrastructure. The public health infrastructure should serve everyone, no matter where they live. In addition, Congress should provide reliable and stable funds for the state, local and regional health departments, because these departments have long -term insufficient funds, manual shortages, and lack of modern data systems.

The Minfu Fund calls on the United States to accelerate the construction of a public health team and a modern public health information system. Moreover, this national medical care system should cooperate more closely with the public health systems at all levels in order to share data in emergency situations and regularly.

The report believes that leaders of the US public health system need to participate in community and joint decisions through more places, support community organizations and carry out effective communication with them to solve problems such as errors and false information, and re -gain public trust.
