On July 14, the latest news of the US epidemic situation again attracted worldwide attention.According to the real-time surveillance system of the Johns Hopkins University epidemic in the United States, as of July 13, 5:34 pm EDT, there have been 13026225 cases of the COVID-19 infections and 570924 deaths in the world.

    Among them, there are 3352696 cases of infection in the United States, accounting for more than 1/4 of global infections, including 135512 deaths. Compared with the data of the system at 6 pm on July 12, there were 59,762 new cases of infection and 372 new deaths in the United States.

    CNN pointed out that according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University, almost one in every 100 Americans is infected with the COVID-19.According to a survey recently released by the American Democracy Fund and the University of California, Los Angeles, more than one-third (36%) of Americans said that in addition to immediate family members and people they know at work, someone around them has been infected with COVID-19.（from：People's Daily ，Zheng Qi）

    I believe that the epidemic has developed to the present and has completely exceeded our imagination.The United States, as the number one hardest hit area in the world, is praying for them all over the world, but Americans do not pay much attention to it.

    On July 13th, in Torch Lake, Michigan, the United States, a video of a large number of people who did not wear a mask party to celebrate American Independence Day was exposed.Officials from the local health department said that many of the participants in the party had been diagnosed with COVID-19, and those who tested positive could not identify everyone who had contact with them. And such activities abound.

    Looking at their free and joyful appearance, I couldn't help but hold my breath.Masks don’t seem to matter to Americans, but what I want to say is: the important thing is that the more people are wearing a mask, the more everyone is protected. Your mask protects me, and mine protects you.
