With the vaccine still not showing up at a slow vaccination rate, President Trump complained that the corona statistics were exaggerated.

Johns Hopkins University in the U.S. counted the cumulative death toll of Corona 19 in the U.S. on the 3rd local time at 35,775.

The rate of increase is accelerating, with the number of people exceeding 250,000 on November 18 last year, taking 26 days to 300,000 and 20 days to 350,000 after that.

The number of COVID-19 hospitalized patients has also maintained more than 100,000 people for over a month, and the number of new confirmed patients on the 2nd was close to 300,000.

In the midst of this, President Trump insisted that the numbers of the corona19 infected and dead were exaggerated.

The U.S. tweeted that the figures were overstated because of the outrageous measures of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compared to other countries that deliberately report very inaccurate and few reports.

Pouch warden immediately refuted.

[앤서니 파우치 / 국립알레르기·전염병연구소 소장 : 병원에 중환자실에 가보기만 하면 알 수 있습니다. 진짜 숫자이고, 진짜 사람들이며 진짜 사망자들입니다.]

Rather, they warned that things could get worse.

[앤서니 파우치 / 국립알레르기·전염병연구소 소장 : 앞으로 몇 주 동안 상황이 더 나빠질 수 있어 걱정입니다. 크리스마스와 신년 연휴 이후 시차를 두고 나타나기 때문입니다.]

Pouch said that an average of 500,000 vaccinations per day, much better than the initial vaccinations over the past three days, was achieved on average over the past three days.

So far, about 4 million Americans have been vaccinated.
