According to US media, in the last week there have been about half a million cases of corona in the United States. The country also posted a new dismal weekly record on Sunday, when an average of 68,767 infection cases were recorded every day, according to CNN. The previous record was set at the end of July.
So far, more than 8.7 million coronary cases have been reported in the United States, as well as more than 226,000 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University survey.
“We cannot make it up to us, we are facing an urgent crisis and there is imminent danger to you and your family,” Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said of the situation in his state.
84 percent of hospital beds are currently in use, as well as 87 percent of intensive care units, and those numbers continue to rise.
Boast of achievements
Against the background of the current infection situation, a recent White House document has caused more people to raise their eyebrows. In a press release from its research and technology office, several of the Trump administration’s accomplishments are listed, including “understanding our planet.”
The point that has made more people on social media close their eyes is that the White House has “ended the Covid-19 pandemic,” with the following text:
“Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the administration has taken decisive action to engage researchers and health professionals in academia, industry, and authorities to understand, treat, and combat the disease,” the document states.
When the White House faced the indictment, spokeswoman Kristina Baum was referring to the actual report that the document describes.
“The important work that the Trump administration is doing to end the pandemic is a top priority and worth noting,” he wrote in an email to CNN.
– Parallel universe
Since the US media began covering the document on Wednesday night Norwegian time, several have reacted in disbelief.
Among them is Tom Frieden, who led the CDC, the US institute of public health when Obama was president:
– We have an explosive growth of the infection. Without a doubt, the death rate will increase. They live in a parallel universe that does not resemble the reality that Americans live in, he tells The Daily Beast.
Political strategist Cornell Belcher told MSNBC television that he is surprised by the statement.
– We have more than 200,000 dead here, and the infection is increasing throughout the country, and they declare victory? he says.
