美国约翰逊·霍普金斯大学12日发布最新统计数据显示：美国新冠肺炎确诊病例已经超过519万了，而死亡病例也超过了16万！

随后，路透社公布了一组数据，美国每66名居民中就有1名感染新冠。而刚刚过去的这一周，据NBC最新报道：在美国，每80秒就有一人死于新冠病毒。

美国新增确诊100万人，只用了17天。而美国的确诊病例总数占了全球的25%。

这个沉甸甸的数字背后，是徒劳挣扎的美国人民，也是疫情阴影下无计可施的美国政府。

根据华盛顿大学新冠模型预测，只需要到今年12月，美国新冠死亡人数将会超过30万，是目前死亡人数的两倍。

在疫情爆发的初期，我们都为非洲、南亚担心，因为这些地方的经济不发达、医疗资源有限。

结果没想到，最发达的美国竟然在疫情面前如此不堪一击。

而美国总统特朗普，仍然还在对媒体说“美国新冠死亡率全球最低”……

据英国《卫报》4日报道，特朗普坚持认为美国做得很好，甚至和主持人吵了起来。

被主持人问到为什么美国死亡率比其他国家糟糕这么多的时候，特朗普直接拿出了表格反驳。

他说：

“你看看这张表，我们在很多方面的指数都是最低，比欧洲低，比全世界都低。”

我们来看看主持人的表情：

特朗普是怎么算的死亡率呢？

他用美国的死亡人数除以确诊人数，这样美国的死亡率就全世界最低了。

这个逻辑，真是绝了。

我们再来回味一下主持人这全程充满愤怒和满脸问号的表情：

美国网友是怎么看这出闹剧的呢？

有网友嘲讽：

我以为在看什么喜剧，没想到是特朗普在接受采访。

更多网友注意到了主持人的表情，说特朗普这样撒谎，真是讽刺：

难以想象，都确诊519万了，他还在公开这样装疯卖傻。

比尔·盖茨接受采访时说：

“白宫一直没有改善新冠检测问题，现在的监测仍然很慢。而且有钱人可以立马得到结果，但是穷人却要很久很久。没有任何国家是这样头脑混乱的。”

而对于盖茨的愤怒，美国总统特朗普也早就直接回应过。

白宫记者向他提问：

为什么有钱人没有症状也能被检测，而其他人想尽办法也得不到检测呢？

特朗普直接回答：这种事时有发生，或许这就是人生吧。

特朗普说，“美国现有的医疗体系已经过时了，或者你可以把它想象成这个系统已经不再适用于你提到的庞大群体了。”

总统站出来承认“穷人就是得不到检测”，这简直就是一种失职。

权贵优先意味着什么呢？

意味着要理所当然的牺牲那些庞大的穷人群体，你是穷人，你的命都不值钱。

一个总统能公然说出这种话，就是草菅人命。

即便这个世界如何弱肉强食，但是一个国家总统应该做的，是尽最大力让每个人都能好好活着。

身为一国总统，疫情几个月，他什么努力都没做。而是躺平了甩锅给其他国家：

全都是中国的错，你们不要怪我！你们活不下去也是因为不努力！

如果一个国家的总统都认为底层人民的命无关紧要、他都无法负责，那这就是一个无耻残忍的国家。

如果一个社会全部信奉达尔文主义，任老弱病残自生自灭，这将是很快会灭亡的社会。

因为谁都有可能成为下一个“弱者”，代替强者死去。

在确诊病例突破500万之后，美国前副总统拜登发表声明：

“我们仍能从特朗普那里听到更多的借口，这是在掩盖他屡次领导失职，这些失职加剧了国内疫情，进而加深了我们的经济危机。”

而经过这场疫情，我们才会明白，自己是何其幸运。

我们每个人都应该感恩自己生在了中国，在安全的环境里生活着。

在疫情最严重的的时候，国家不计一切代价为全民提供免费检测，争取让每个人都活下来的机会。

即便现在国内只是有个别的新增病患，可国家仍然一点也不松懈。

不用怀疑，中国就是做得很好。

真的很感激，自己能出生在中国。

真的很骄傲，自己是中国人。

希望中国国富民强！
