Nearly 400,000 people died of Corona 19 in the United States.
Johns Hopkins University in the U.S. estimated that the cumulative number of corona 19 confirmed on the 16th in local time was 2,3545,000, and the cumulative death was about 392,000.
With 25% of confirmed cases and 19.5% of deaths in the world, the United States is the country with the highest number of confirmed cases and deaths in the world.
In the United States, an additional 3,409 people died of Corona 19 on the 15th, 215,000 were confirmed as new infections, and the number of confirmed cases exceeded 200,000 a day for 11 consecutive days.
In December of last year, about 77,000 people died from Corona 19 in a month, and it was recorded as the month with the most deaths, and the situation in January is momentum to overtake.
About 46,240 people died by the 15th, and if it remains, the death toll could exceed 90,000.
Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned that a mutant coronavirus from the UK, known to be more contagious, could become the most dominant coronavirus in the United States in March.
Accordingly, the CDC urged the expansion of vaccinations, along with stronger enforcement of masks and social distancing.
The CDC says “we may have to achieve higher vaccination rates to protect the public.”
However, state governments responsible for vaccinating the COVID-19 vaccine are expressing frustration and dissatisfaction when the federal government’s promised additional supply of vaccines turned out to be a promise they could not keep.
US Minister of Health and Welfare Alix Aza said on the 12th that “most of the vaccines for secondary vaccination stocked by the federal government will be released,” but it turned out that there is no stockpile.
Colorado Governor Jared Police said he was “extremely disappointed that I had been told to lie” about the vaccine stockpile.
Governor Polis added that all or almost all of the 58,000 remaining doses of vaccine would run out in 17 days.
