It is not unexpected that with 4.8 million infections and nearly 160,000 coronavirus deaths in the United States, Americans have reported facing more intellectual fitness disorders and economic considerations than citizens of seven other richer countries in the world, according to a new survey.
According to a Commonwealth Fund poll, about a third of Americans surveyed said they felt pressured, worried, or disgruntled enough to “get ahead on their own.”
In the other countries surveyed, a quarter or fewer respondents expressed feelings.
Americans were also more likely to say they had had economic difficulties since the start of the pandemic, and 30 percent said they simply had no fundamental needs, had exhausted their savings, or been forced to borrow cash to survive.
This is a much higher percentage than in other countries, Canada (24%) Australia (21%) it also had relatively high rates of negative economic consequences, while Germany and the Netherlands were below 7%.
Only 33 percent of respondents in the United States who president Donald Trump has done a “good” or “very good” task in the fight against the virus, while approval rates from other countries ranged from 49% to 95%, according to the survey.
The Commonwealth Fund surveyed 8259 adults from March to May in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
“As our country grapples with the growing number of cases and the economic devastation caused by the pandemic, others in other countries are living a different and greater reality. Americans want to perceive that our country can also do more,” said Commonwealth Fund President David. Blumenthal said in a statement. “We can begin by making sure that everyone can get and receive the physical care they want, and by implementing public fitness measures such as masking, social estrangement, and physically powerful testing and tracking that can help us prevent COVID-19 like so many others. I’ve done. Really accomplished. »
This is not the only recent study that shows Americans are unhappy. A ballot published in June reported that less than 15% of U.S. adults said they were very satisfied last month, a record for the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center, or NORC, which has followed degrees of happiness for decades. The United States has the number of cases shown with coronavirus and deaths worldwide, and nearly 1.2 million Americans implemented transient unemployment benefits last week.
