A sad record has been broken in the United States. On Friday, more than 45,000 Americans tested positive for Covid-19. It is a provisional new peak in the corona figures.

Dr. Fauci, a virologist, was quick to contradict him: “We have a big problem.”

It is already the third day in a row that the figures are rising. Especially in the south of the country, figures are rising at an alarming rate. The number of infections increased in 29 of the 50 states last week. Some 2.48 million Americans have already tested positive. 125,000 of them did not survive.
