According to the latest data released by the U.S. Census Bureau, in just 13 days from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, about 12 million Americans in the United States were directly affected by the epidemic and were unable to work.
The U.S. Census Bureau launched the Household Pulse Survey in mid-2020 to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals and families in the United States. The latest statistics show that in the 13 days from December 29 last year to January 10 this year, a total of about 8.8 million Americans were unable to work because of new coronary pneumonia or caring for the sick. This figure is the "Home Pulse Survey". The highest value since the project started. At the same time, the same survey also showed that another 3.2 million Americans are unable to work for fear of being infected or infecting others.
