In an interview with CNN, head of the National Allergy and Infectious Disease Research Institute, Pouch, stressed that the worst is yet to come.

“We’re really at a very critical point,” said Pouch.

Regarding President Trump’s vaccination, he said, “It’s up to you,” he said. “I recommend the vaccination as he is the President of the United States and is a very important person.”

He also expressed concern about the coronavirus, but said he does not see people getting sicker because of it.

As of the 27th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States exceeded 19 million based on Johns Hopkins University.

Six days after it exceeded 18 million, it increased by 1 million.

The number of corona deaths in the U.S., with more than 330,000 people, was the highest this month.

CNN reported that the number of corona deaths in the U.S. by the 26th of December has exceeded 63,000, which is already a monthly maximum.

The fall pandemic in November was 1.7 times the number of 37,000 deaths.

There is a relief atmosphere as the corona vaccination begins, but anxiety is growing as the number of tourists surges before and after Christmas and the New Year holidays with many meetings are ahead.
