We all know that novel coronavirus pneumonia is not over yet. We still need to do epidemic prevention work. The latest data on the US epidemic show that 20 thousand new people in American universities are infected with the new crown virus. Why is the infection in the US college so serious?

The incidence rate and mortality weekly published by the CDC journal has recently released a new study showing that a significant proportion of people in the United States seem to be unaware of the infection if they are infected with the new crown virus. The study found that 6% of the first-line medical staff in the United States had antibodies to the new coronavirus, confirming that they had been infected with the new coronavirus. Novel coronavirus pneumonia was reported by 29% of the people in February 1st. 69% of them did not report positive diagnosis, and 44% did not believe they had ever had the new crown pneumonia.

The report pointed out that the causes leading to the infection of new coronavirus among front-line medical staff may be that some of the infected people have mild or even asymptomatic symptoms, but have not reported symptoms, and some infected people may not be able to receive regular virus testing.
