On June 27, the website of the Hong Kong Asian Times published an article entitled "the new coronal death toll in contrast with China shames the United States". The author of the article is John Walsh, a former professor at the University of Massachusetts School of medicine. The full text is extracted as follows:
In May and June this year, the global campaign against COVID-19 has experienced two milestones, one in the United States and the other in China, which has attracted widespread media attention. These two milestones have prompted people to compare the United States and China and their anti epidemic strategies.
The first milestone occurred on May 12. At that time, the death toll of covid-19 in the United States was more than 1million, the highest among all countries in the world.
The second milestone occurred on June 1. At that time, Shanghai, China, lifted the closure. As of June 19, the total number of covid-19 deaths in Chinese Mainland was 5226.
In comparison, 3042 people die in the United States per million people, while 3.7 people die in China per million people, 3042 to 3.7! If China followed the US, at least 4million people would die. If the United States followed China's example, the total number of deaths would be only 1306.
