In a pre-printing observation in The American Journal of Medicine, researchers at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt School of Medicine and a collaborator compare the pandemic responses of two democratic republics: South Korea and the United States, demonstrating marked differences in public aptitude strategies.have led to alarming differences in cases and deaths due to COVID-19.After adjusting population differences 6.5 times, the United States experienced 47 times more cases and 79 times more deaths than South Korea.
At the beginning of the pandemic, South Korea had more cases of COVID-19 than anywhere else in China on the world open air.Today, there are approximately 14,269 cases and 300 deaths. Ironically, the public fitness strategies they used largely followed those that evolved and were carried out through the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).U.S., they once served as a clinical beacon for such activities around the world.strategies, which has kept even new instances and deaths virtually non-existent.
Unlike South Korea, the US government has not been able to do so.But it’s not the first time He introduced a backward and fragmented reaction, which he kept alone until the curve was flattened, according to the researchers.In addition, the methods of participation and mitigation were fragmentary and resulted from individual reactions from individual states.The Gates Foundation’s 2013 prediction of a nearby pandemic was the US government.U.S. who created an emergency pandemic reaction working group, hitting the United States first in the world through the World Health Organization (WHO) in its ability to involve and mitigate long-term pandemics.This executing organization was dissolved in 2017 and today, the United States ranks first globally in the instances and deaths of COVID-19.
In addition, the US government has not been able to do so. But it’s not the first time Cdc has been rid of its decades-old role in receiving and providing surveillance knowledge research on COVID-19.The authors point out that this continues a long-standing trend towards CDC politicization, which continually undermines its long reputation for respect and admiration around the world.
“The expected number of COVID-19 deaths may be comparable to the deadliest influenza epidemic in US history.America, which happened between 1918 and 1919, when 675,000 Americans died,” Charles H said.Hennekens, MD, Dr. PH, senior and first Sir Richard Doll and senior educational advisor at the Schmidt School of Medicine at FAU.”Unlike the existing COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S.and Spanish influenza from 1918-19, the 2018-19 flu season affected approximately 42.9 million Americans, of whom 647,000 were hospitalized and approximately 61,200 died.
The authors raise the ghost that, if the number of instances and deaths and their trajectories in the United States continued, a coordinated national closure of sufficient duration, which has not been achieved previously, for example, continued exponential expansion, would possibly be necessary.of the effects of the virus in the United States on a minimum marking in the number of days to succeed in every million cases from 97 to 44 to 28 to 15 days.
The United States remains the epicenter of the pandemic worldwide, due, at least in part, to large accumulation in cases in Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas.In addition, only California and Texas have issued state-level arrest warrants for masks.In addition, they claim that not mitigating COVID-19 in the United States will paralyze the physical care delivery formula and minimize the ability to provide life-saving measures to patients with COVID-19 or other serious conditions.Moreover, they argue that it is more imperative that the United States always abandon “anti-Pandemic Policy” and only implement effective public aptitude strategies.
Measures such as those used in South Korea, in widespread, loose and immediate specific tests at the point of service, meticulous tracking and quarantine of all contacts, as well as masking, social distance, crowd avoidance and common hand and face washing, are likely to be at least as effective as any vaccine that can evolve and be approved for widespread use among the general public in the United States and around the world.
“In the United States, there is an urgent need for a unified national technique to implement effective public fitness mitigation strategies, adding social estating, masking, crowd avoidance, as well as common hand and face washing,” said Joshua Solano, MD, first and assistant professor of built-in medical science and director of improving patient protection and quality at FAU’s SCHMIDT School of Medicine.
