Chinanews, February 23, comprehensive report, according to Johns Hopkins University data, as of February 22, the cumulative number of deaths from the new crown in the United States exceeded 500,000.
This means that about one in 670 Americans will die from new coronary pneumonia.
The number of deaths due to the new crown epidemic in the United States has exceeded the total number of deaths in the two world wars and the Vietnam War.
However, experts worry that due to the threat of the mutated new coronavirus, the number of new coronavirus cases in the United States may still surge again.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the United States, even said that as a highly developed country, the United States is doing "worse than most countries."
On February 5, local time, the staff at the New Crown Vaccination Point at Yankee Stadium in New York received citizens.
On the same day, New York Yankee Stadium was opened as a mass vaccination site for the new crown vaccine.

"Black Winter": Biden held a memorial ceremony for the new crown deceased
The United States reported its first death from the new crown about a year ago, and then the number of confirmed and dead cases rose rapidly, becoming the country with the highest number of confirmed and dead cases in the world.
In February 2020, the first reported death from the new crown occurred in the United States. Four months later, the death toll exceeded 100,000, in September it reached 200,000, and in December it reached 300,000; in January 2021, the death toll exceeded 40. Ten thousand people, by February 22, more than 500,000 people died.
The front page of the "New York Times" on the 21st showed the tragedy of the new crown epidemic in the United States with a large dot chart. Each black dot represents a dead life, showing the sharp increase in the number of new crown deaths in the "black winter".
At sunset on the 22nd local time, US President Biden held a candlelight ceremony at the White House to mourn the dead.
First lady Jill Biden, Vice President Harris and their husbands attended.
Biden said: "As a country, we cannot accept such a cruel fate. We must resist the pain of numbness."

Don't let your guard down! Mutated virus may cause a surge in cases across the United States
Compared with the peak of the epidemic, the number of hospitalized and infected cases of new crown in the United States has declined.
However, experts believe that due to the spread of variant new coronavirus strains in the United States, the number of new confirmed cases in the United States may increase rapidly again and may lead to more deaths.
"This is not the time to relax our vigilance and reduce epidemic prevention measures." The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington warned.
The key to controlling the epidemic is "depending on the expansion of vaccination efforts, efforts to increase the proportion of adults willing to be vaccinated, and strong encouragement to continue to use masks."
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States has reported about 1,700 cases of mutated new coronavirus strains found in the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil.
CDC statistics also show that about 19.4 million Americans have completed the new crown vaccination.
However, the proportion of this data in the total population of the United States is far lower than the estimated proportion required for Transmeta herd immunity.
In addition, affected by severe cold weather, parts of the United States have recently had to deal with the delay of vaccine delivery.
On December 22, 2020, local time, American infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci received the new crown vaccine at the National Institutes of Health. The vaccination process was broadcast live on TV. After the vaccination, Fauci gave the camera a thumbs up.
Fauci: The U.S. response to the epidemic is “worse than most countries”
On February 22, local time, Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the United States, said in an interview with local media that as a highly developed country, the United States is doing "worse than most countries" and is responding to the new crown. During the pneumonia epidemic, "different states do their own things, instead of having a unified approach."
Fauci said that in the late winter and early spring of 2020, when it is predicted that the number of deaths due to new coronary pneumonia may be as high as 240,000, "People think we are exaggerating, and now we have 500,000 deaths, which is an alarming number. "
"As a unified country, we should move forward together. The new crown pneumonia epidemic is our common enemy, and we can all work hard." Fauci pointed out.
