The crown crisis is heading for a terrifying new peak in the United States.
NEW YORK (Nettavisen): A few weeks before the US presidential election, the coronation figures are constantly reaching new heights. On Thursday this week, more than 63,000 Americans were infected and 820 people died from the virus. Therefore, the number of infected is close to 8 million.
On average, about 700 people die daily from the coronavirus in the United States, and more than 217,000 people have died so far.

Infection logs in 25 states
Some states are now struggling to control the virus, and in Wisconsin and South Dakota, the number of infections has doubled in the last four weeks, compared to the previous four weeks.
In Wisconsin, hospital admissions are skyrocketing as well, and in some regions of the state, 90 percent of intensive care units are now occupied.
A total of 25 states have established new infection registries in October, reports the Daily Mail.
Predict 389,000 deaths
A new calculation from the University of Washington Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation now shows that the death toll in Americans could skyrocket in the coming months.
According to his calculations, the number of deaths in the United States will increase by 80 percent on February 1. His model shows that the death toll in the United States will rise to 389,000 by February 1, but that this number could drop to 314,000 if more Americans wear face masks.
As of now, there is no federal requirement to wear masks in the United States, and 17 states are still allowed to do without them.
In New York, which was once the epicenter of the outbreak, and where face masks are now mandatory, only about 1 percent of those tested daily are now positive for the coronavirus.
Positive test rates in South Dakota and Wisconsin are 30 and 20 percent, respectively.
