The Newcastle pneumonia (CCP) epidemic continues to worsen in many countries in recent months, including India, where more than 300,000 cases have been diagnosed over the past few days, making it difficult for medical systems around the country to cope. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce (U.S. Chamber) warned yesterday (26) that the surge in confirmed cases could lead to economic stagnation in India and further drag down the global economy.
Foreign news reports, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Myron Brilliant pointed out that U.S. companies employ millions of Indian employees engaged in back-office operations, so the risk of spillover effects is high. He said the possibility of the Indian economy coming to a standstill is high, and the situation is predicted to worsen before it improves, and India faces a catastrophic, spreading virus that threatens to drag down the economy. He stressed that the important thing now is to help the Indian people.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and chief executive officers (CEOs) from 40 companies reportedly launched a task force on Monday to provide much-needed medical supplies and other assistance to India, and set up a website to open up U.S. businesses to donate supplies.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce executives and CEOs of companies are expected to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Kurt Campbell, the White House NSC coordinator for Indo-Pacific affairs, to discuss the economic and humanitarian crisis facing India.
