When it comes to corona infections, there is still no country that has enough water in the USA.
Donald Trump may even have conjured up a superspreader event recently.
The
USA
records six-digit numbers of new
corona infections
every day
.
In addition to having the largest number of cases worldwide, the country also has more
deaths
than any other nation.
The development is closely related to the politics of President
Donald Trump
.
This

is updated regularly.
Munich - The US is heading into the final days of a presidency that was unprecedented in many ways.
Because of
Donald Trump's
rhetoric
*
.
And many of his political decisions, in which, at best, he had the
well-being of large groups of voters
in mind, but usually only
wanted to
polish up his own reputation
.
The
storming of the Capitol * of
his previously heated supporters on the day on which his electoral defeat against
Joe Biden
* was
officially approved
by the
Senate *
and the
House of Representatives *
was the
low point of the 45th US President's four years
in the
White House *
.
At the same time, this last momentous rebellion against the inevitable could make the start of the term of office much more difficult for his successor.
More than feared.
Corona in the USA: Was storming the Capitol a super-spreader event?
Because it suggests that some of the
Trump fanatics
may have
turned into super spreaders
.
Some wore masks during the gathering and the riots that followed, but there was no trace of distance or decency.
How much the event will be reflected in the
corona numbers
remains to be seen for the time being.
The virus waves that the
once self-infected Trump
never really cared about, at least not from.
According to
Johns Hopkins University,
283,204 new infections were registered
within one day,
and
3,534 other citizens in the country succumbed to Covid-19.

Corona in the USA: Almost 22 million infected, soon 400,000 deaths
This means that the USA is expanding its
sad top position
in both statistics
.
Since the
beginning of the pandemic *,
more than 21.87 million
infections have been
reported, and it was fatal for more than 368,900 people.
Biden will have to stop this trend as quickly as possible.
And hope that there will be no
further mass marches
.
They can
not be ruled out
in the unmanageable situation in which the
oldest democracy in the world is
located around the change of power.
