A situation that seems out of control, especially in the south of the country. This Saturday, the United States passed the 2.5 million contamination mark with the new coronavirus, with a spread which is very worrying in States like Florida or Texas.
According to Johns Hopkins University, whose reports have been authoritative since the start of the pandemic, the country now has exactly 2,500,419 confirmed cases. Florida, in particular, recorded a new record, with 9,585 new patients and 24 deaths in one day.
For the governor of the state, Ron DeSantis, there is a “real explosion” of the disease in young people who have returned to the beaches and night parties thanks to the deconfinement. An American deconfinement started much too early during the crisis, many experts believe.
As a result of the pandemic, fifty years after the first Gay Pride in New York, the LGBT community was mainly online on Saturday.

Elsewhere in the world, especially in Europe and Asia, where the confinement was more strict and longer than in the United States, it is the arrival of a possible second wave that worries. Because here and there, as in England or in France, it is in particular a certain relaxation of the populations which is sometimes observed with the return of sunny days.
