The World Health Organization released a report on August 25 that the number of confirmed cases of monkeypox reported worldwide fell by 21% last week (August 15 to August 21). However, more than 20 countries still reported an increase in confirmed cases, with the United States having the largest number of new cases. According to Reuters, the United States accounts for more than 34% of global monkeypox cases. Since the first confirmed case of monkeypox was reported on May 17, the number of monkeypox cases in the United States has exceeded 15,000 in just over three months. In the face of the monkeypox epidemic, the United States is like facing the new crown epidemic, tired of coping, and once again becoming a "poor student" in the fight against the epidemic. Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview with the media that in responding to the monkeypox outbreak, the U.S. government is "making many of the same mistakes [as it did in the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak]. Behind the United States' continuous "head-scratching" in dealing with the epidemic of infectious diseases is a variety of chronic diseases such as political polarization, institutional failure, and social rift in the United States. On the one hand, there is a constantly mutating virus, and on the other hand, it is a never-ending rip-off, that is, in such a strange circle, the United States can not get out of the quagmire of the epidemic. #The United States has become the country with the most known monkeypox cases ##美国占全球猴痘病例超34%# Overseas network review: Accounting for more than 34% of global monkeypox cases, the United States has become a "poor student" in the fight against the epidemic - Original review - Overseas network
