The COVID-19 epidemic presents a polarized development trend, and the United States has the worst performance in epidemic prevention-CGTN think tank releases the “Analysis Report on the Development Status of International COVID-19
The CGTN think tank released the “Analysis Report on the Development Status of the International New Crown Epidemic” to the world on July 23. The report pointed out that countries and regions around the world have shown a trend of polarization in terms of key epidemic indicators such as the number of confirmed cases, the number of deaths, and the number of vaccinations. Governments of various countries play a decisive role in the epidemic prevention process. Among the five statistical dimensions of epidemic prevention performance, the United States has the worst performance among the world‘s countries on three indicators.
The report is based on the statistical data published by the Johns Hopkins University website, Our World in Data website and PHARMACEUTICAL TECHNOLOGY website, comprehensive epidemiological research literature and public The prevention and control measures proposed by well-known experts in the field of health, from the five dimensions of “cumulative confirmed number”, “newly confirmed number”, “cumulative death toll”, “vaccination number”, and “overall epidemic control cycle”, provide global The epidemic prevention data of 51 sample countries as of July 14 are ranked to comprehensively reflect the current epidemic situation and prevention and control effects of all countries in the world.
The report shows that there are more than 15 million people diagnosed in three countries around the world, followed by the United States, India and Brazil. The three countries with the lowest number of confirmed cases in the sample countries are New Zealand, Australia and Vietnam.
The three countries with the largest number of new diagnoses in the quarter were India, Brazil and the United States. The sample countries with the smallest number of newly confirmed cases are New Zealand, China and Singapore.
The cumulative death toll in three countries in the world exceeds 400,000, namely the United States, Brazil and India. The three countries with the lowest cumulative number of deaths in the sample are New Zealand, Singapore and Vietnam.
Countries where more than 50 million people have been vaccinated against the new crown include China, the United States and India. The sample countries with the fewest people who completed the vaccination were Vietnam, Iraq and New Zealand.
The countries with the fewest number of new diagnoses per day less than 5,000 are the United States, Brazil and Russia in order. There are 19 countries where the number of newly diagnosed people per day for more than 500 days has not exceeded 5,000, reflecting the better epidemic prevention effect.
The report shows that the United States is facing the most severe epidemic prevention challenge in the five rankings, followed by Brazil, India, the United Kingdom, France and other countries. The United States ranks first in the world with a cumulative number of confirmed cases of over 34 million and a cumulative number of deaths of over 600,000. The number of newly diagnosed people in the United States is less than 5,000 in only 62 days, ranking first in the world in severity.
The report shows that among the developing countries, Brazil and India are also facing severe situations, ranking top in the world in multiple data dimensions such as cumulative diagnoses and new diagnoses. The development of the epidemic situation in major European countries is not optimistic. France, the United Kingdom, Italy and other countries occupy high positions in the cumulative number of confirmed cases and cumulative deaths.
According to global media reports, since the outbreak of the epidemic in the United States, there have been problems such as weak epidemic prevention policies, unfair distribution of materials, and chaotic social security. Demonstrations against the government’s blockade measures broke out in many European countries, and the confrontational sentiment of the people has made it more difficult for the government to promote the epidemic prevention work. However, developing countries represented by Brazil and India have dense populations, weak public health infrastructure, and climate and geography. The epidemic of the new variant “Delta” has made the epidemic worse.
The data shows that New Zealand and Australia are the least affected countries in the sample. Some analysts pointed out that this benefited from the unique geographical location of Oceanian countries far away from other continents, low population density, and active prevention and control measures.
Asian countries represented by China, South Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam have benefited from the decisive adoption of powerful management measures such as entry bans, isolation screening, and border quarantine, as well as effective prevention and control measures, in terms of diagnosis, death, and epidemic cycle control. Good results have been obtained.
Singapore and Vietnam rank low among all the sample countries in terms of cumulative deaths from new coronary pneumonia; South Korea has adjusted the epidemic prevention level and has fewer than 5,000 new cases per day for 537 days.
China is the country with the fewest number of newly diagnosed cases and the largest number of vaccinations in the world among the sample countries. Some analysts pointed out that a country with a population of 1.4 billion can effectively control the epidemic thanks to China’s series of powerful measures from prevention to treatment. For example, in the early stage of the outbreak, the Chinese government responded quickly. On the one hand, it implemented strict travel control and isolation policies, and on the other hand, it used large-scale nucleic acid testing and big data to track closely connected people to empower epidemic prevention. In some areas with a high incidence of epidemics, medical facilities such as shelter hospitals will be built, medical resources will be deployed nationwide, and medical facilities will be rapidly “expanded”. Establish community volunteer service organizations to assist management and strictly prevent virus input. Establish a flight circuit breaker system to restore entry-exit exchanges in an orderly manner under controllable conditions.
At the same time, relying on its scientific research capabilities, China has taken the lead in achieving breakthroughs in vaccine research and development, and has vigorously promoted the universal vaccination plan. Currently, the number of vaccination doses has exceeded 1.4 billion, ranking first in the world. China has also provided more than 500 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines and stock solutions to more than 100 countries and international organizations around the world, equivalent to one-sixth of the current global output of COVID-19 vaccines.
However, from a global perspective, the serious uneven distribution of vaccines is still an objective fact. The vaccination situation in developing countries is obviously not as good as that in developed countries. Due to factors such as poor medical standards and the stockpiling of vaccines in individual developed countries, there is still a big gap between achieving the goal of herd immunity.
The report also found that in the context of insufficient global vaccine supply, the government can still effectively control the spread of the virus through strong prevention and control measures. For example, although Vietnam has a relatively low vaccination rate, its effective border control and isolation measures have kept the number of newly diagnosed patients at a low level.
