The United States exceeds 200,000 COVID-19 deaths

Yesterday the death toll in the United States exceeded 200,000. This is the highest figure worldwide. A threshold that months ago would have seemed unimaginable. Meanwhile, the country is getting closer to the presidential elections. Surely the handling of the pandemic will influence the outcome.

Jennifer Nuzzo, a public health researcher at the Johns Hopkins University, said that “it is incomprehensible that we have reached this point.” Especially when you consider the state-of-the-art laboratories, top scientists and medical supply stockpiles that the U.S. has.

The current death toll is equivalent to an attack like that of September 11, 2001, occurring daily for 67 days. In addition, it is similar to the same population that Salt Lake City or Huntsville, Alabama, has.
