The United States is the country with the largest number of corona19 confirmed and dead in the world. As of this day, 25.0% of global confirmed cases (about 9478,000 people) and 19.5% of deaths (about 2014,000 people) came from the United States.
On the 15th, 3409 additional people died of Corona 19, 21,5941 people were confirmed as new infected, and the number of confirmed cases exceeded 200,000 a day for 11 consecutive days.
In December of last year, it was recorded as the month with the most deaths, with about 7,500 victims of Corona 19 in one month, and the situation in January is likely to overtake it. About 46,240 people have died by the 15th, which is half of them, and the death toll is likely to exceed 90,000.
The number of hospitalized patients, which is interpreted as a leading indicator that predicts the trend of deaths, reached 12,200 on the 15th, according to the Corona 19 tracking project. It is a slight decline from 132,476 people on the 6th, which was the highest after the pandemic (a global pandemic).
Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned that a variant coronavirus from the UK, which is known to be more contagious, could become the most dominant coronavirus in the U.S.
Accordingly, the CDC urged the expansion of vaccinations, along with stronger enforcement of masks and social distancing. CDC said, “We may have to achieve higher vaccination rates to protect the public.” yunhap news
