On May 31, local time, former US Food and Drug Administration Director Scott Gottlieb issued a warning: The new crown pneumonia epidemic in the United States is still not under control, and the intensified demonstrations will lead to the accelerated spread of the epidemic. Among them, the number of new coronary pneumonia infections in Minnesota, the epicenter of the demonstrations, has begun to rise.
At the same time, Gottlieb said that the new crown pneumonia is seriously threatening people of color at a disproportionate rate. The reason for the higher infection rate in the community of colored people is the low economic level. This population is heavily dependent on public transportation, housing conditions are difficult to maintain social distance, and the penetration rate of medical services is low, all of which have led to a high level of death from new coronary pneumonia.
Gottlieb added that only the "potential problems" caused by racial inequality in the United States can be resolved to effectively slow down the spread of new coronary pneumonia among people of color.
