Shirking Responsibility and Diverting Attention Is of NO Help to Epidemic Prevention

Recently, the number of COVID-19 infections in the United States exceeded 5 million and the number of deaths exceeded 170 thousand. The number of infections and deaths in the United States ranks the first in the world. According to a survey among citizens carried out by NBC News, over 50% of the citizens cast a vote of no confidence in their country's epidemic prevention, especially with a president who insisted on wearing no masks, saying that drinking disinfectant could kill the virus, and that he would be waiting for the virus to disappear.
The COVID-19 swept across the world at a tremendous speed. When there was no alternative, Europe closed down its cities and put them out of operation. Additionally, Australia, New Zealand and Canada also shut down its doors, businesses and classes to fight the pandemic.
As a large country with a population of 300 million, the United States was also unavoidably caught by the virus when facing the novel epidemic. At the beginning, there were, like in other countries, only thousands of confirmed cases and hundreds of death. However, the negative attitude taken by the United States government against the virus turned the situation worse. Since March, the pandemic situation in the United States began to deteriorate. There seemed to be little positive attitude towards the epidemic from the top leader to the spokesman of the White House.  When the pandemic reached its peak in April and May, the President first remarked that drinking disinfectant could kill bacteria, and then shrank the responsibility onto WHO and China. When the spread of the COVID-19 went even worse beyond control, the White House went for broke and dropped out of the WHO. In the meantime, the sudden occurrence of the tragedy of "Freud Gate" racial discrimination led to millions of protesters marching on the streets. Finally, the inaction and partiality on the part of the White House turned the protests into a series of riots. As a result, this made the epidemic situation more.
