NEW YORK (Reuters) - The death toll from Corona's death toll in the United States has risen to more than 50,000 and is approaching the death toll in the country (58,000) in the 20-year-old Vietnam War.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, while two-thirds of Corona victims are in Europe, the United States has the highest death toll in the world at more than 52,000. That's more than the 9/11 casualties and US casualties in the Iraq-Afghanistan war.
According to the latest statistics from Hopkins University, more than 929,000 people in the country are infected with Quaid-19, which is also the world's number one.
About 5,000 Pentagon staffers have also been infected with the coronavirus, of which 1,863 are civilian workers and contractors.
The rapid spread of the coronavirus in the United States and the inability to control it, even in one of the largest military organs in the country, which should naturally have more discipline, indicate the astonishing weakness and confusion in the crisis management system in this country.
On the other hand, the problems and weaknesses institutionalized in the US healthcare system make it one of the weakest countries in the world in terms of healthcare among the 11 developed countries.
Meanwhile, a significant percentage of Americans do not have a health insurance system, and this has become a serious challenge in the field of health care.
The staggering US military spending, which weighs heavily on the US tax system, has made health care a top priority, and taxpayers' money is spent on foreign interventions, arson and more than just health care. The killing of people in other countries, especially the military presence in the Middle East.
Although this approach of the US government has always been protested and dissatisfied by many sections of the population, and basically Trump entered the White House with the promise of returning US troops from various countries, but economic pressures and rising unemployment in the US protest the massive military spending. Has increased.
As a result, the economic downturn caused by the Corona crisis, the unemployment of more than 26 million Americans and the Trump administration's inability to manage the crisis, public pressure on the government to reduce interference in the Middle East and more focus on health and the economy are on the rise. Pressuring the Trump administration ahead of the US presidential election to reduce military presence in the Middle East will be an inevitable event for post-Corona rulers in the White House.
