Turning in the Time Language
There are more than 1 million people who have died of coronary viruses worldwide.In addition to the surge in the number of new infections, real deaths will only be higher, especially the lack of reliable data in the Third World countries.
Compare the war of real knives and real guns.The Iraqi war launched by the United States in 2003 and could not end for many years, the total number of deaths estimated by the British Liuye Sword Medical Journal was 600,000.There is also a long -lasting Syrian civil war. The total number of deaths from the United Nations is 400,000.
So in less than a year, the person who died in the crown disease exceeded the sum of the two most bloody war in the new century, and it was far from the end.This is really an unprecedented human catastrophe.
I pointed out in mid -May that although the European and American epidemic has attracted a lot of attention, the disaster caused by crown disease in the third world is even greater.In addition to no advanced medical system, developing countries are more unable to bear the huge economic losses caused by epidemic conditions.The latest phase of economists reported in detail from plague to red poverty.
The United Nations estimates that the crown disease epidemic will cause 490 million people in 70 countries to fall into poverty and reverse the progress of nearly ten years.The Gates Foundation founded by the former boss of Microsoft, the latest annual poverty alleviation report is even more pessimistic. Summarizing the crown disease in just 25 weeks, the poverty state of the third world returns to 25 years ago.
Take Africa as an example.Economist report: The Minister of Finance of Africa estimates that this year's fiscal owes of Africa countries will be $ 100 billion, and next year will rise to 200 billion US dollars.The fragile medical system collapsed under heavy pressure.
UNESCO warns that the first time in the third world, the first child DTP (white throat, tetanus, pertussis) vaccination rate has decreased significantly, which will greatly increase the mortality of children in the coming year.In addition, international organizations preview: The total number of deaths such as global love, tuberculosis, and malaria may be doubled next year.
There are also major disasters suffered by education.The WHO Summer Survey shows that in 39 African countries, schools in only six countries are still maintaining normal education.Because each year of education will increase the income of 10 % after adults, and educational pauses will cause lifelong damage.The epidemic will bring an incredible loss to a large number of young people, especially the future income and labor output of girls, and drag down the future economic development of a generation and the country.
Regardless of whether it is Europe and the United States or the third world, the common consequences of crown disease are exacerbating polarization.The upper class was influenced by the epidemic, but the lower levels that lacked economic and social resources became the biggest losers.Therefore, in the Third World, the epidemic is not only a significant retrogression of people's livelihood, but also deepen social division and ethnic contradictions, increasing the unstable and violent conflicts of the entire world.
In short, crown diseases will cause long -term and profound global impacts, which will also bring unavoidable accountability.How much is human disasters outside of natural disasters?In Europe and the United States, the government has entered the election politics whether the government has been incorrect, and is particularly seen in the US presidential election.In addition, there is a voices of formal parliamentary investigations.
Sooner or later, international accountability will also be intensive, not to mention transfer of responsibilities to the country, and even the European and American democratic governments cannot help.Third world countries, which are generally harmed by epidemic, are generally low in administrative efficiency. This is probably the only way to shirk responsibility internally.
