　　According to data from Hopkins University, the United States has confirmed a total of 19.09 million new crown cases and more than 333,000 deaths.

Among them, 2.14 million people have been diagnosed in California.

　　After the Thanksgiving holiday in November, the number of confirmed cases in the United States increased rapidly in December, with more than 200,000 newly confirmed cases reported in a single day.

With the advent of Christmas and New Year's Day holidays, more people travel, which may further expand the spread of the virus.

　　US media reported that in the 7 days as of the 26th local time, the US Transportation Security Administration inspected more than 7.8 million passengers, meaning that even though health officials urged people to stay at home, more people chose to travel.

However, this data has dropped by nearly 60% from the same period last year.

　　Fauci said he was concerned that “as we move into the next few weeks, the situation may actually get worse.”

On December 14, local time, at the Jewish Medical Center on Long Island, New York, reporters focused on the first batch of new coronavirus vaccines in the United States.

　　On the other hand, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new guidelines on the 26th, stating that individuals with underlying diseases can be vaccinated against the new coronavirus.

"Adults of any age who suffer from specific underlying diseases are at high risk of severe illness from the new coronavirus." The guide explains.

　　Therefore, the CDC added that those vaccines that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, "As long as there is no serious allergic reaction to any component of the vaccine, people with underlying diseases can be vaccinated."

　　According to CDC data, as of the morning of the 26th local time, the United States has completed nearly 2 million doses of the new crown vaccine.

This is still a far cry from the federal government’s goal of vaccinating 20 million Americans by the end of the year.
