The United States crossed the threshold of one million deaths from Covid-19 on Thursday, May 12, 2022, the White House announced, but, like New York brought to its knees in 2020, the country wants to turn the page on the pandemic.
“We must remain vigilant in the face of this pandemic and do all we can to save as many lives as possible, as we have done with more tests, vaccines and treatments than ever before”US President Joe Biden said in a statement.
The most bereaved country in the world
After several months of decline in the coronavirus pandemic in the officially most bereaved country in the world (ahead of Brazil, India and Russia), the United States has been recording a daily increase in the number of cases for the past month.
The country that lifted the mask requirement, now only advised indoors, is seeing a rebound in the number of cases due to Omicron subvariants. However, its effects seem less serious on a population completely vaccinated at 66%, and more than 90% for those over 65, while a fourth dose of vaccine is only open for the moment to those over 50. years.
