This is comparable to the population of Atlanta, Georgia.
According to Johns Hopkins University, this number exceeds the number of Americans who died in 2019 from chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, influenza and pneumonia combined.
“We have not experienced anything like this in the last 102 years since the 1918 influenza pandemic”, – said leading national expert on infectious diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, on CNN.
On January 19 – the last day of Donald Trump’s presidency – the number of deaths from coronavirus infection in the United States reached 400 thousand, becoming a sad reminder of the failed anti-coronavirus policy of the Republican administration.
At the same time, another 100 thousand statistics were replenished in just a month of Joe Biden’s stay in the White House. The democrat promised the Americans to cope with the pandemic, but it becomes clear that his program is not working either. In particular, Biden proposed opening additional vaccination centers throughout the country, but, as it turned out, the vaccines themselves are not enough for this in the country.
Despite the government’s setbacks, deaths are expected to decline by summer. So, according to forecasts of the University of Washington, by June 1, the death toll in the United States will increase by about 90 thousand.
“People will talk about it in decades, decades and decades”, – stated Dr. Fauci.
