For the first time in nearly three and a half months, the United States recorded less than 1,000 deaths from COVID-19 on Monday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
In twenty-four hours, 749 patients died due to complications of the disease caused by the new coronavirus. This number is far from the 4,473 deaths that were recorded in one day on January 12. One has to look at the data of November 2020 to find the number of deaths below the dam of a thousand (822 on the 29th).
The pandemic continues to slow in the United States, which has returned to pre-Halloween levels of deaths and infections, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, when millions of people were evacuated, followed by an outbreak of SAR. -2.
For President Joe Biden, who saw his colossal plan to support the US economy, which envisions spending 1.9 trillion. to be approved by the Senate on Saturday, this is the second good news, which comes to add to its strategy to expand immunization, mass vaccination.
The vaccination campaign, which began in December, is accelerating as almost 10% of the population – 31.5 million people – have now received both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine doses, or the only dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine required. .
The health authorities also contributed to the general atmosphere of optimism by announcing that people who have been vaccinated can meet in small groups without having to wear masks, or maintain the chosen social distance.
However, they must observe the protection measures when they are indoors with people who have not been vaccinated and in public places.
With more than 525,000 dead and more than 29 million confirmed cases, the United States is by far the hardest hit by the new coronavirus pandemic on the planet, at least in absolute terms.
