About one -fifth of the adults who have infected with the new crown virus in the United States have experienced sequelae. About 1 million Americans were dragged down by the "new crown sequelae" and were forced to leave the employment market -the US House of Representatives Committee on July 19 At the field hearing, this set of data was repeatedly mentioned. According to the US "Fortune" magazine, the hearing was dedicated to understanding and solving the "new crown sequelae" and its consequences. After more than two years of the epidemic, the "new crown sequelae" is becoming a new public health disaster in the United States.

Chronic disease sweeps the United States

According to the definition of the World Health Organization, the "new crown sequelae" is a disease that the new crown virus infection may face. Generally, symptoms occur three months after the first attack of the new crown, last for more than two months, and cannot be explained by other diagnosis. These symptoms usually include: fatigue, tachycardia, rapid breathing, difficulty in cognitive, chronic pain, abnormal sensory function, and muscle weakness.

According to the latest survey report released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in June, as of the first two weeks of June, the United States had been infected with the new crown virus and the detection of adults who had turned negatives. There are still symptoms of "new crown sequelae". Bach, an economist at the Brookos Institute of the US Think Tank, said in the written testimony of the hearing that about 16 million people in the United States currently suffer from the "new sequelae".

"Atlantic Monthly" said that the "new crown sequelae" may be a "large -scale deterioration incident", and this wave of chronic diseases may make the situation of millions of people worse. Christine Engelle, the founder of the new crown sequelae of the Cleveland Clinic in the United States, told the "US News and World Report" that we still know very little about the "new crown sequelae" itself, but it is "sweeping". This is " Great popularity after the big popularity. "

Politico, a US political website, said that CDC has found that more than 100 people have died of "new crown sequelae" through investigations from all over the United States in the past two years. Medical scientist at the University of Columbia University of Public Health, Madi Henig, told Politico: "The overall risk of" new crown sequelae "will continue to rise."

Economic evil causes concerns

The economic consequences brought by the "new crown sequelae" also aroused concerns in American society. According to news from the website of the US House of Representatives on July 19, about 1 million Americans may be kicked out of their jobs, which has led them to lose their salary and in some cases, they also lose health insurance.

Bach said at the hearing that 25%to 65%of Americans may reduce their working ability because of 16 million "new championship sequelae", which accounts for about 2.4%of the US employment population. Bach said, "When I started calculating the number of workers who withdrew from the employment market due to 'new crown sequelae", I was shocked. "

More and more American workers are in a dilemma due to the "new crown sequelae". The case of American workers who reported the unemployment due to the "new crown sequelae" due to the "new crown sequelae": Mai Konn in San Francisco is a long -term struggle with the new crown. He has infected the new crown twice because the "new sequelae" A series of symptoms cannot work. At present, you can only rely on short -term allowances. McConne said to CBS: "This will convey a deep fear, how would I feed myself?"

The "new crown sequelae" further exacerbated the inequality of American society. The website of the Bruce Society in the United States said that the "new crown sequelae" highlights the serious racial inequality of American society, because the American Aboriginal, African Americans and Latin Americans have experienced a higher infection rate and hospitalization rate during the new crown epidemic. The background Americans also have differences in obtaining medical resources. The huge inequality has made the impact of "new crown sequelae" on ethnic minorities more obvious.

The number of hospitalizations continues to rise

Although many experts have warned the healthy and economic risks of the "new crown sequelae", CDC also prompts the best way to prevent the production of "new crown sequelae" is to protect themselves and others from infected with new crowns. However Many Americans have already removed their attention from the new crown epidemic.

Many US media reports that the new variants of the new crown virus are triggering a new round of infection in the United States. CDC data shows that BA.5 has become the main strain in the United States and has currently accounting for 65%of new infection cases. The New York Times published on July 18 that BA.5 has led to at least the infection rate of 40 states rose. In the past two weeks, the number of residents in the United States has increased by 20%, with an average of more than 40,000 infected hospitalization per day.

As the crisis of the new round of epidemic is constantly rising, the increasingly relaxed epidemic prevention measures in the United States may make the "new crown sequelae" intense. In April this year, a federal judge in Florida ruled that the CDC's "mask order" in the public transport system was illegal. This ruling means that the American people do not need to wear masks when they are on public transportation such as planes and trains in China. At the same time, the US Congress or does not approve autumn vaccine funds, and the United States will not have enough funds to buy new vaccines for all Americans before autumn. "American people may usher in difficult autumn and winter."
