The president of the United States, Donald Trump, believes that the crown figures in the United States are exaggerated. The Republican on Twitter accuses other countries of deliberately reporting false infection figures.
The current president of the United States, Donald Trump, considers that the scope of the corona pandemic in the United States is clearly exaggerated. Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday that the number of “China virus” infections and deaths in the US is “greatly exaggerated” by the CDC’s “ridiculous” counting method, while other countries deliberately report figures. lower false.
When in doubt, something is simply known as Covid, he continued, and concluded with the words “Fake news!” – your repeated reference to alleged fake news.
New high on the weekend
Renowned American immunologist Anthony Fauci objected: “The deaths are real deaths,” the director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases said on CNN on Sunday. You only have to look at the situation in hospitals, where beds are scarce and employees are exhausted. “This is real, this is not fake.”
In the US, the number of corona cases recorded in one day hit a new record over the weekend. On Saturday, authorities reported 299,087 cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in Baltimore on Sunday morning (CET). The previous record was recorded on December 18 with 249,664 new infections. At the same time, 2,398 deaths with a confirmed corona infection were recorded on Saturday alone. The highest daily value to date was reached on December 30 at 3,750.
More than 350,000 Americans died from Covid-19
In the country of around 330 million inhabitants, around 20.4 million people have been infected with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2 and more than 350,000 people have died. In absolute terms, that is more than in any other country in the world.
Vaccines against the virus have been administered in the United States since December. At first, the speed of the vaccination campaign did not meet expectations. Fauci said it was understandable that things did not turn out well at the beginning of such a large vaccination campaign. But it is realistic that in the future a million people in the country can be vaccinated every day. The future president of the United States, Joe Biden, has set a goal of having 100 million vaccines administered in the first 100 days of his administration.
