20,000 people have died from the disease in the United States. It is now the first country affected by the coronavirus epidemic, ahead of Italy. There are nearly 520,000 cases of contamination and no lull is emerging.

In his town, hospitals are overcrowded and unemployment has skyrocketed.
“But I know it’s the right thing to do. This will allow us to save lives. This will help us to consolidate the containment strategies that we have put in place. They need more time to be more efficient“, he pleaded. The virus could kill 100,000 people in the United States.
