Over 125,000 pregnant women diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia in the U.S.

At present, the number of confirmed and dead cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States is still increasing rapidly, and the lives of many vulnerable groups have been seriously threatened. The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology pointed out that pregnant women are increasingly threatened by the Delta strain. According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of September 27, more than 125,000 pregnant women in the United States have been diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, including 161 deaths.

Altem Carver, 34, lives in Indiana. At the end of August this year, 33 weeks pregnant, she was waiting for the birth of her third child, but unfortunately, she was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. Her husband recalled that one day after being admitted to the hospital, his wife received an emergency C-section and ushered in a new life. On the same day, she had to use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and a ventilator for treatment until now.

The surge in infections among vulnerable groups highlights the failure of the U.S. to fight the epidemic

In the United States, vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, the elderly, and children cannot be effectively protected during the epidemic, and the number of confirmed and dead cases has surged. This is also a microcosm of the overall ineffectiveness of the United States in fighting the epidemic.

On the 1st of this month, the cumulative number of deaths from the new crown in the United States has exceeded 700,000. According to American media, this number exceeds the number of people who died in the 1918 flu in the United States. In the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the world‘s richest, most developed, most advanced medical technology, richest medical resources, and stockpiled new crown vaccines in the United States, which are several times the dose required for its population, are watching the death of 700,000 lives. It’s incredible.

In addition, since the outbreak of the epidemic in the United States, the volume of anti-intellectual and anti-science has continued to increase, and rumors and false news have been flying everywhere. Some scientists have suffered political repression. The two parties and their supporters are still arguing and litigating over the most basic prevention and control measures such as wearing or not wearing masks and vaccinations. Whether to implement these measures has become a dispute over values, rising to whether it “infringes personal freedom.” Level. Since the Democratic President Biden took office, the federal government and the “red states” governed by the Republican Party have been discordant about anti-epidemic measures, and political struggles have continued within the states.

Public health experts worry that as winter approaches, there will be a new wave of epidemic peaks in the United States. It is worth pondering that where the end of the US fight against the epidemic is still a question mark.
