The cumulative number of corona 19 confirmed cases in the U.S. has exceeded 25 million.

Vaccination is the key for now, but President Biden went into the White House to look at it, and the Trump administration said there was no vaccine distribution plan.

As of the morning of the 24th local time, it was estimated that the cumulative number of corona19 confirmed cases in the U.S. exceeded 25 million.

About 1 in 13 Americans are infected.

It spread like this one year after the first infected person came out on January 20 last year.

Even so, vaccination is only slow.

It turns out that the Trump administration has not even established a vaccine distribution plan.

As a result, vaccination is being delayed due to a shortage of vaccines across the United States.

Vaccinations in the United States have only recently exceeded the 20 million doses, which were originally targeted by the end of the year.

Fortunately, the corona spread is somewhat slowing down.

The average number of infections per day in the last week was 170,000, which was significantly lower than 240,000 at the beginning of this month.

However, health experts in the United States are warning that the number of confirmed cases from the mutant virus could explode between February and March, as more people travel back soon after spring break.
