The number of daily corona deaths in the USA has reached a new high of more than 3,000. By Wednesday evening (local time) 3,071 more deaths from the pandemic had been registered, the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore announced. In addition, more than 220,000 new infections were registered within one day. In Germany, too, there is a new record level of new infections.
In the USA, the increase in cases was expected after two weeks ago millions of people ignored appeals to refrain from traveling and visiting families at Thanksgiving. In California alone, the most populous of the 50 US states, there were more than 30,000 new infections within one day, according to the Covid Tracking Project. The number of Covid-19 patients in U.S. hospitals also reached a new high: On Wednesday there were more than 106,000 patients.
The USA is the country most affected by the corona pandemic worldwide in terms of numbers. Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 15 million infections with the novel corona virus have been detected in the United States and more than 289,000 infected persons have died.
New corona vaccines are now giving hope. On Thursday, the Vaccine Commission of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will review the application for emergency approval of the corona vaccine from the Mainz-based company Biontech and its U.S. partner Pfizer. If the independent Vaccine Commission decides in favor of an emergency approval, the FDA could grant it very quickly. The FDA had already declared on Tuesday that it considers the vaccine to be safe and effective.
