The death toll from the new Corona virus (Covid-19) in the United States has exceeded 300,000, according to a Johns Hopkins University census, coinciding with the start of a massive vaccination campaign in the worst-affected countries in the world.

And the United States is still registering record numbers of more than 200,000 injuries per day, and nearly 3,000 deaths every day.

More than 16 million people have been infected with the new Corona virus in the United States since the start of the outbreak, but the actual toll may be greater due to the lack of checks in the first stage.

In contrast to the first wave in the spring and then the increase in the number of injured and dead in the summer, the current wave is affecting various parts of the United States.

The data of the "Covid Tracking Project" program, which monitors the outbreak of the virus, showed that more than 109 thousand people are currently hospitalized due to "Covid-19" in the United States.

Acting US Defense Secretary Christopher Miller received a dose of a vaccine against "Covid-19", in a step he took in front of the photographers' lenses to encourage his citizens to follow his example.

The nurse gave Miller an injection in the top of his left arm as he sat in front of the photographers' lenses at Walter Reed Military Hospital in suburban Washington.

The acting minister commented jokingly: “Is that all?

God be upon you!

This was not painful at all. ”

Thus, Miller became one of the first Americans to receive a vaccine against Covid-19, in a step that is part of a large-scale vaccination campaign in parts of the country most affected by the emerging corona virus, in which the number of deaths by the epidemic exceeded the threshold of 300 thousand people.

And the Pentagon announced last week that even if the first batch of doses of the vaccine against Covid-19 will be allocated primarily to military medical personnel, the minister and senior military officers will receive the vaccine voluntarily, in a very public way, to raise awareness about the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine.
