The U.S. federal government agency recently estimated based on long-term data trends that since the beginning of 2020, the total number of deaths in the United States has exceeded normal expectations by 987,000. According to the report, the cause of the deaths of these so-called "excess deaths" is "related to the new crown epidemic." Among the nearly one million "excess deaths", the vast majority died of infection with the new crown virus, and a small number of them died from the negative effects of the epidemic, such as difficulty in seeing a doctor and lack of timely treatment.

The "Wall Street Journal" commented that up to now, the proportion of deaths from the new crown in the total population of the United States has been equal to the proportion of Americans killed in World War II in the total population at that time, and the time it took for the new crown epidemic to cause such serious losses was much shorter than World War II. . In the war that year, most of the dead were young people, while in the new crown epidemic, most of the dead were the elderly. Among the nearly one million "excess deaths", about 700,000 are people over the age of 65, and another 140,000 are people aged 25-54 in the "golden working age". An authoritative research report cited by the newspaper showed that in the United States, a person who died of the epidemic affects an average of 9 relatives. In addition, the number of homicides and deaths from drug overdose in the United States has increased during the epidemic, which has also caused great pain to society.

According to data from job search websites such as LinkedIn, working mothers, ethnic minorities and other groups are the most affected groups in the "wave of departures" in the United States brought about by the epidemic in 2020. While more and more women have returned to the workforce, millions of women still have not.

According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 16:00 EST on January 31, there were 280,225 new confirmed cases of new crowns and 1,292 new deaths in the United States within 24 hours, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 75.83 million.
