On January 3, an octogenarian posted a photo of himself and his wife walking their dogs by the sea on social media, with the caption: "The commander (pet dog) enjoys his first stroll by the sea. Who knew that such a quiet and good photo did not exchange for the stability of the world, and the repeated questions and criticisms of American netizens made this Tweet suffer a "bloodbath".
Why? Because this person is US President Joe Biden.
Why are you scolded? Because the American people are very unhappy about this New Year's Eve.
Some netizens directly scolded: "It is sad that Colorado is experiencing a tragedy, a winter storm has almost swept the East Coast, and he is walking on the beach." ”
Some netizens said: "The health protection of this dog is better than that of three-quarters of Americans." Others said, "It must feel good to ignore the epidemic." ”
How does a photo cause a "bloody storm"? No wonder the American people, look at the United States now, the epidemic continues to break records, social security is deteriorating, climate disasters have displaced tens of thousands of people, and all the negative emotions were ignited by this photo of Biden at the beginning of the new year.
New Year's Eve is not happy, because the United States is in urgent need of treatment. Three days ago, at the end of 2021, the United States ended 2021 with the highest record since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic – more than 700,000 new confirmed cases in a single day. And that's not the only staggering number. According to the MAP of the EPIDEMIC in the United States released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 85.35% of the counties and cities in the United States have become "high-transmission areas", resulting in almost all-round "red" of the United States on the map.
But even such a heavy ending did not alert some Americans. On the evening of December 31, Times Square held an offline New Year's Eve event again, where about 15,000 Americans gathered to watch the crystal ball of light and hope slowly fall.

At the same time, the CDC previously shortened the recommended isolation period for asymptomatic infected people from 10 days to 5 days. The CDC's rationale is that science shows that most of the spread of the new coronavirus occurs early in the course of the disease. The operation was immediately met with strong opposition from scientists, who said the practice was likely to lead to more infections.
On January 4, "more terrible news" came: according to Bloomberg, the number of new confirmed cases of new coronavirus in the United States on January 3 exceeded one million, setting a new global record...
On the one hand, the number of confirmed cases soared, and on the other hand, the isolation period shrank sharply. Is there light and hope ahead or a more violent "storm" of the epidemic? Who knows.
The New Year's Eve is not happy, because the United States urgently needs to control anger. In addition to the epidemic, poor social security and people's growing anger have also forced people in many parts of the United States to quit the old and welcome the new in panic. The latest data from the WEBSITE "Gun Violence Files" of the US non-profit organization shows that in the past 2021, there were 691 vicious gun violence cases in the United States that killed and injured more than 4 people, setting a record for the highest number of gun violence cases in the United States since the website tracked gun violence cases in the United States since 2013.
On January 1, 2022, statistics released by the Chicago Police Department in the United States showed that nearly 800 homicides occurred in the city in 2021, making it the most homicides in 25 years. Data from the NYPD at the end of 2021 shows that the number of crimes in New York continues to surge in 2021, with the number of murders and shootings well exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Former New York Governor Cuomo once lamented, "More people are dying of gun violence and crime now than from COVID-19." ”
Remember the 14-year-old Chilean girl who thought the United States was "the safest country in the world" and whose only wish was to become a U.S. citizen? When she was killed by mistake, her mother cried out, "She died in my arms, and there was nothing I could do about it." ”

New Year's Eve is not happy, because the United States is in urgent need of disaster relief. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, when the people of New York "bravely" greeted the arrival of the crystal ball in Times Square, the people of Colorado could only feel the pain of aggravation. First, a "record-breaking" wildfire suddenly struck Boulder County, Colorado, burning hundreds of buildings and evacuating more than 30,000 residents. The fire fighting work is not over, a blizzard has landed in the disaster area when it should not have come, and the snow in some places has reached more than 20 centimeters, which not only brings cold and hardship to the locals who have just encountered the fire, but also brings the search for missing people in the fire to a standstill.
The disaster area after the snow was described as desolate as a "snow country cemetery", and many local residents cried bitterly, "We don't know where our homes are". Not only did Patrick, 72, lose his home, but his pet dogs and cats were also killed in the fire. He lamented: "It's a terrible feeling to go from having everything you need in life to suddenly having nothing. ”

The United States urgently needs to save itself. The President of the United States urgently needs empathy and empathy.
