<Anchor> The number of



corona confirmed cases around the world has now exceeded 30 million.

It took 6 months to reach 10 million, but in 43 days after that, it exceeded 20 million, and a little more than a month after that, it reached 30 million.

Far from being braked, it's getting faster and faster.

India and Brazil have been affected by the worsening situation, but the United States still has the most patients in the world.

However, today (17th), the President and the chief health authorities held a public war over the corona problem in the United States.

In terms of us, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, who is the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Jung Eun-kyung, testified in Congress that even if a vaccine is available, the general public may be hit next summer or fall.

Then, President Trump publicly refuted that he would inoculate 100 million doses by the end of the year.

President Trump announced that the release and general distribution of the Corona 19 vaccine would be possible around next month.



It has come up with a plan to inoculate 100 million doses by the end of the year.



[Trump/U.S. President: Corona 19 vaccine may be released in October or a little later.

Once it comes out, we're ready.] He



stressed that the masks have a lot of problems and that the vaccine is much more important.



[Trump/US President: I think masks have a lot of problems.

As for masks, I think vaccines are much more useful than masks.]



The sudden announcement was made to refute that the CDC chief of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that even if the vaccine is available by the end of the year, public vaccination will be done next summer or fall.




The emphasis on wearing masks over vaccines was also a problem.



[Robert Redfield/Director, CDC, USA:



Wearing a mask

can more certainly protect me from the corona19 virus than if I was vaccinated.]

Some Trump supporters protested to go to hypermarkets where masks are mandatory and take them off. I also earned money.



President Trump is putting his life and death on the launch of the corona vaccine before the presidential election, but criticism is growing that he is politicizing the vaccine by denying the prospect of the quarantine officer.
