Death toll from Covid-19 in US passes 200,000

20,000 American flags are displayed on the National Mall in Washington DC to remember the 200,000 lives lost(20万人の命が失われたことを忘れない為、2万のアメリカ国旗が並べられています。)

The United States registered its 200,000th death from the Covid-19 pandemic today, the latest grim milestone for the country just weeks before voters decide if President Donald Trump will stay in office.

According to a rolling tally by Johns Hopkins University, 200,005 Americans have died and 6.86 million have been confirmed infected by the coronavirus.

The US has had the world's highest official death toll for months, ahead of Brazil and India, with 137,272 and 88,935 deaths respectively.

Overall, the US accounts for 4% of the world's population and 20% of the world's recorded coronavirus deaths.

In the US, Mr Trump has faced intense criticism of his handling of the crisis ahead of the November election.

"Due to Donald Trump's lies and incompetence in the past six months, (we) have seen one of the gravest losses of American life in history," his Democratic rival Joe Biden charged yesterday.

"With this crisis, a real crisis, a crisis that required serious presidential leadership, he just wasn't up to it. He froze. He failed to act. He panicked. And America has paid the worst price of any nation in the world."

Mr Trump insisted yesterday that the United States was "rounding the corner with or without a vaccine".
