Dodgers Stadium in LA, California, USA.
There is no end to the procession trying to get tested for Corona 19 while in a car.
The situation in the United States has not improved at all even in the new year.
The cumulative confirmed cases exceeded 20 million.
About 1 in 17 Americans are infected with Corona 19.
The infection rate also accelerated, so it took less than two months to reach 10 million to 20 million confirmed cases.

The number of people infected with the mutant virus from the UK is also increasing.
Following Colorado and California, infections have also been confirmed in Florida.
Some of these are people with no travel history.
This means that the mutant virus has already landed in the United States and is spreading to local communities.
Now the only place to lean on is the vaccination, and even this is not very good.
Local media pointed out that the number of people who have been vaccinated now is just one-eighth of the target.
People and facilities are not prepared in advance, so waiting for more than ten hours to get the vaccine.

In the meantime, there are concerns that the Corona 19 situation will worsen in the future.
Experts said that despite the warning from the quarantine authorities, millions of people traveled during the year-end and New Year holidays.
