Coronavirus turned out to be worse for the United States than Pearl Harbor and September 11
In the coronavirus-stricken United States, they are preparing for the situation to get even worse.
This was reported by Nezavisimaya Gazeta, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“US Surgeon General Jerome Adams warned Americans that the coming week could set a sad record for the number of deaths from coronavirus. Donald Trump expressed himself more vaguely and pessimistically. He called the next two weeks of the pandemic difficult. Meanwhile, Trump's political opponent Joseph Biden made it clear that he does not believe that even in August Americans will be able to return to normal life,” the article notes.
At the same time, Adams made a frightening analogy, saying that the United States would face a test comparable to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
“For many Americans, this will be the most difficult moment of their lives,” US Surgeon General.
“It should be said that the number of deaths from coronavirus (about 9 thousand people) has already exceeded the number of deaths in the two events mentioned by Adams (about 2 thousand Americans were killed in Pearl Harbor, about 11 thousand in the September 3 terrorist attacks).” , - the newspaper draws attention.
The number of infected Americans is increasing by tens of thousands of people per day; as of yesterday, the new type of coronavirus was confirmed in 338 thousand Americans.
If at the moment the most difficult situation is in New York (about 15 thousand infected), then in the near future, according to forecasts from Johns Hopkins University, New Orleans may become a hot spot in the fight against coronavirus.
“There the mortality rate of hospitalized patients is higher: more than 22%, while in New York it is about 15%. In addition, in New Orleans, cases of coronavirus are being recorded throughout the city,” the publication writes.
At the same time, there is concern that the outbreak of the pandemic could lead to an exacerbation of racial problems that are painful for the country, since a significant part of New Orleans is the black population.
