The United States is numerically the country most affected by the corona pandemic in the entire world. Now, the number of daily deaths from corona has reached a new high of more than 3,000. As of Wednesday, 3,071 more deaths from the pandemic had been recorded by afternoon (local time), said Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The university is considered the leading institution for Covid statistics in the US.
In addition, more than 220,000 new infections were recorded in one day. In California alone, the most populous of the 50 US states, more than 30,000 new infections occurred in one day, according to the Covid Tracking Project.
The number of Covid 19 patients in hospitals also hit a new record: on Wednesday there were more than 106,000 patients. The surge in cases was expected after millions of people ignored Thanksgiving calls two weeks ago to avoid trips and family visits.
The United States is numerically the country most affected by the corona pandemic in the entire world. Since the pandemic began, more than 15 million new coronavirus infections have been detected in the United States and more than 289,000 people have died.
Test of possible new vaccine on Thursday
The new corona vaccines are now giving hope. On Thursday, the FDA’s vaccination commission is examining the application for emergency approval of the corona vaccine from Mainz-based company Biontech and its US partner Pfizer. If the independent vaccination commission votes in favor of an emergency approval, the FDA could issue it very quickly. The FDA said Tuesday that it classified the vaccine as safe and effective.
On Thursday next week, the US vaccination committee will deal with the request for emergency approval for the vaccine from the US pharmaceutical company Moderna. The administration of President-elect Donald Trump announced a goal of vaccinating 100 million American citizens by the end of March. President-elect Joe Biden, who will take office on January 20, wants to vaccinate 100 million citizens in 100 days.
