The total number of COVID-19 cases in the United States is approaching seven million Wednesday, while the national death toll surpassed 200,000 one day ago, according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University.
The nationwide caseload had amounted to 6,940,721, including 201,882 deaths, as of 19:23 Eastern Standard Time, according to the CSSE.
The United States is the worst hit country in the world, in terms of total infections and deaths.
According to a Washington Post report on Tuesday, the U.S. Defense Department used portions of a one-billion-U.S.-dollar fund from Congress meant to aid in procuring medical supplies for the coronavirus pandemic response to purchase military equipment.
According to the report, 183 million U.S. dollars to firms including Rolls-Royce and ArcelorMittal to maintain the shipbuilding industry; tens of millions of dollars for satellite, drone and space surveillance technology; 80 million U.S. dollars to a Kansas aircraft parts business suffering from the Boeing 737 Max grounding and the global slowdown in air travel; and two million U.S. dollars for a domestic manufacturer of Army dress uniform fabric.
Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in Senate testimony last week that states desperately need six billion U.S. dollars to distribute vaccines to Americans early next year. Many U.S. hospitals still face a severe shortage of N95 masks. These are the types of problems that the money was originally intended to address, said the Washington Post.
Hours before the U.S. death toll from Covid-19 surpassed 200,000, President Donald Trump was again downplaying the risks of the disease, saying that coronavirus affects elderly people and people under age 18 are not affected.
According to a report from CNN, as of Sept. 16, the elderly, specifically individuals over age 65, represent only around 15 percent of cases, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Young, previously healthy people have also died from the virus. Of the 42 states (plus New York City) that report child deaths due to COVID-19, at least 109 children have died from the disease between May 21 and Sept. 17, the report said.
Veteran journalist Bob Woodward said Tuesday that he was embarrassed for Trump when the U.S. president gave himself an "A+" on how he has handled the virus.
