Shook hands
The 73 year old Trump had still shaken the hands of people he was in touch with on Friday despite recommendations from experts to the contrary. He now said that it was a habit that he would have to change.
The number of Infections and the Fatality in the United States meanwhile continued to rise. The director of the National Institute for Infectious Diseases, Anthony Faucisaid on Saturday that there are now 2,226 people Infections with the Corona virus has been demonstrated. 50 people died as a result of Covid 19 diseases. The number of infected people in the United States should be significantly higher because there is a lack of tests there. Trumps government has been caught in the crossfire of criticism for this lack.
Trump had on Friday due to the spread of the Corona virus declared a national emergency. This will give him access to, according to him, more than $ 50 billion in disaster relief, with which the Federal government can support affected US states and communities. Trump had also again promised to dramatically expand testing options.
Area codes affected
The spread of the Corona virus increasingly affects the Election campaign before the US presidential election in November: The head of the electoral authority in the important US state GeorgiaBrad Raffensperger said on Saturday evening (local time) that the Democratic and Republican primaries scheduled for March 24 are expected to be postponed to May 19. Louisiana had already announced on Friday that both parties’ primaries would only take place on June 20 instead of April 4, as planned.
US president Trump is set as a Republican candidate, he has no serious intra-party competition. The race with the Democrats, on the other hand, is exciting: there is a duel between the former Vice President Joe Biden – the party’s moderate wing candidate – and left senator Bernie Sanders. Biden is after a winning streak in the primaries before Sanders. The Democrats have primaries next Tuesday Florida, Arizona, Illinois and Ohio on the program that have not yet been postponed.
