(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) More than 14 million confirmed cases of new corona in the US Biden urges people to wear masks
China News Agency, Washington, December 3 (Reporter Sha Hanting) The number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States exceeded 14.11 million in the third local time, and the death toll surpassed 276,000.
According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, at 9:00 p.m. on the 3rd, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States exceeded 14.11 million and 276,088 deaths. Among them, 1,284 million were confirmed in Texas, 1,276 million were confirmed in California, 1,029 million were confirmed in Florida, 759,000 were confirmed in Illinois, and 674,000 were confirmed in New York State.
In recent days, various data on the new corona pneumonia epidemic in the United States have continued to show an upward trend. On day 2, there were more than 195,000 new cases of new coronary pneumonia and more than 2,800 new deaths. The number of hospitalizations for new coronary pneumonia exceeded 100,000, all of which set a record since the outbreak. At the time of publication, the number of new cases on Day 3 reached 191,000 and the number of new deaths reached 2,642.
Experts believe that the impact of Thanksgiving holiday trips and family reunions will appear gradually, and the epidemic situation may continue to worsen in the coming weeks. Reno, a medical expert at George Washington University, predicts that by next week, the number of deaths in a single day will exceed 3,000 or even more.
US President-elect Biden said in an interview with US media on the 3rd that he would require all Americans to wear masks for 100 days on the first day after taking office. Biden said, “Just wear a mask for 100 days, not forever. I think this will greatly reduce the number of infections.”

Biden also said that Fauci, an infectious disease expert, will continue to serve as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in his administration and will also be a member of his new crown advisory team.
Regarding the new corona vaccine, Biden said he is “willing” to vaccinate publicly to alleviate public doubts about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.
Three former US presidents, Clinton, Bush and Obama, also expressed their willingness to publicly vaccinate the new crown to demonstrate their security.
According to the latest National Geographic and Morning Consult polls, the proportion of the United States wanting to be vaccinated against the new crown has increased. About 61% of the people surveyed expressed their willingness to receive the new corona vaccine, 30% expressed their reluctance and the rest expressed uncertainty.
Experts like Fauci have repeatedly claimed that only after the vast majority of Americans are vaccinated with the new corona vaccine can the vaccine be effective and the epidemic contained.
According to US media reports, the current two new corona vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, will be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on the 10th and 17th, respectively, starting this month. (End up)
