Are we overestimated COVID-19? 我们是否高估了新冠病毒?

 

截至2020年5月2号,美国新冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)死亡人数为64,283 (1, 2) 。根据可查数据,美国2017年总人数325,100,000、注册死亡人数2,813,503、年死亡率为每10万人中865.4例死亡。

主要死因及人数:


心脏病:647,457

癌症:599,108

意外事故(意外伤害):169,936

慢性下呼吸道疾病:160,201

中风(脑血管疾病):146,383

阿尔茨海默氏病:121,404

糖尿病:83,564

流感和肺炎:55,072

肾炎,肾病综合征和肾病:50,633

故意自我伤害(自杀):47,173

数据来源:《死亡:2017年最终数据》 ( 3 )

 

美国新冠病毒死亡数和2017年流感肺炎死亡级别相似。然而,美国经济因新冠病毒遭受了重创,不仅经济停摆,民众更因新冠疫情而被迫失业。经济学家预测,4月份的失业率将上升至16.1%,雇主要裁掉2200万非农就业岗位,这相当于消除了过去十年中创造的每一份工作(4)。为协助美国全民度过疫情危机,美国联邦政府出炉2兆美元新冠疫情经济纾困计划,同时大开印钞机。这是美国历史上最大规模的经济救援(56)!

美国民众开始抗议示威,要求生存权和自由权(人权)(7)。美国政府开始重新审视新冠病毒的危害,加紧全民检测。美国可能最终将走向全民免疫(8)。

但新冠疫情将促成全球一体化的最终解体!

Dr. Zhang lectured on Blockchain for Executive MBA at Quantum University

Dr. Zhang gave a lecture on Blockchain for the Executive MBA program at Quantum University, China on April 21, 2018. Dr. Zhang pointed out that, unlike “Internet +”, blockchain technology is a “disruptive” technology: many traditional industries, such as intermediaries, leasing, auditing, and even banking…, could die because of blockchain technology. Entire business models will be reformed, implemented and completely revolutionized due to blockchain.
Dr. Zhang discussed many questions with the students: What is blockchain? Why is there such a sensation? How do we meet or respond to this new thing?
