This DISEASE is causing BIG concerns for US President Biden; if not controlled every single bed will be occupied in next 15 years, he says
Alzheimers disease is the most common type of dementia. It is a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss and possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment.
If you think that the US is grappling just with the Covid-19 pandemic which has been a reason for over 33 million people getting infected with the virus and over 6 lakh people succumbing to it, then see this. The country is worried about the growing number of cases of Alzheimer and the warning comes from none other than President Joe Biden.
Showing his concern on the growing cases of Alzheimer's, the US President has once again reiterated that “If we do not do something about Alzheimer’s in America, then every single solitary hospital bed that exists in America...Every single one will be occupied in the next 15 years by an Alzheimer’s patient.”

Biden pledged during his victory speech on 7 November 2020 to create an America that looks ahead to curing diseases like Alzheimer's. This gave a beacon of hope to 5.8 million Americans. The 16.1 million caregivers currently devastated by a disease that has no cure. Advanced health was one of the important agendas for Biden at the time of the US Election.
Recently, President Biden’s administration has reversed former President Donald Trump’s ban on using abortion fetal tissue for taxpayer-funded research. This fetal tissue is used in a number of research projects looking for cures and treatments including Alzheimer’s, spinal cord injury, eye disease, and HIV, but religious and pro-life advocates argue the practice is unethical since the fetal tissue comes from aborted babies.
What is Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. It is a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss and possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment. Alzheimer’s disease involves parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. It can seriously affect a person’s ability to carry out daily activities. Above the age of 65, a person’s risk of Alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia doubles about every 5 years. Dementia affects one in 14 people over 65 and one in six people over 80.
