The fuss over the presidential election can only briefly cover up the biggest problem currently facing the US: In the fall, the United States will see a new, even worse spike in coronavirus infections. What is the current data like? The US election has been decided: Donald Trump is only a few weeks in office as US President. The corona crisis is pushing itself back to the fore with bare numbers. In Trump’s tenure, more than 238,000 people died from coronavirus infection in the United States – more than any other country on earth. Under his leadership, the United States has failed to contain the pandemic in any way. In the weeks leading up to the election date, state authorities saw the number of cases rise again. In what is now the third wave since the outbreak began in spring 2020, more than 100,000 new infections per day are added at the beginning of November. On average over several days, more than 1,000 further deaths are reported per day. The coronavirus is far from under control in the United States. Trump’s successor in the White House, Joe Biden, immediately announced the first steps to tackle what is by far the most pressing problem in the country. His goal is to launch an action plan to overcome the Corona crisis on the day of his inauguration on January 20. “I want everyone to know: we will put our plan to get the virus under control on our first day,” announced Biden in his victory speech on Saturday evening in his hometown of Wilmington.

In the case of the coronavirus data from the USA, ntv.de relies on the count of the “New York Times”. There reporters have followed the development in detail since the beginning of the pandemic. The stated aim of the tracking project is to check and track every case report as far as possible in order to obtain the most accurate picture possible of the overall situation – regardless of the official case recording by the US disease control centers CDC.

The data not only provide clues about the nationwide infection rate. You can also see the regional developments in the US states. From this, important information can be derived for the political debate about the measures to avert pandemics: Which federal state has the situation somewhat under control? Where does the virus continue to spread?

Maps, numbers, infographics All the data, all the facts about the US election

Under Trump, the US government had largely withdrawn from attempting a nationwide strategy to combat the virus crisis and largely left responsibility to the states in the spring. The pandemic confronted the former real estate entrepreneur with a reality that he was no longer able to cope with with his previous recipe for success. The twisting of facts came to nothing.

Trump against the virus and the truth

The virus did not simply go away “in spring” or “miraculously” as Trump claims. Trump apparently never really understood the extent of the problems. As early as April, USA expert Josef Braml forecast at ntv.de that the pandemic would “destroy Trump’s mantra”. In fact, hundreds of thousands of Americans felt the crisis economically or personally.

Corona deliberately played down Recording shows Trump’s manipulative pandemic tactics

The USA did not succeed in stopping the rise in the number of cases until autumn. Instead, a few weeks before the election, the global public could see how the virus penetrated the White House and infected Donald Trump himself.With this, Sars-CoV-2 not only reached the decision-making center of the USA, but also temporarily threatened the life of the man who had repeatedly played down the virus, who followed the experts’ mask recommendation late and, contrary to all advice, held on to election campaign events with thousands of participants wanted. The fact that Trump overcame his Covid 19 illness in record time thanks to the best full medical care is unlikely to have encouraged the majority of the population. For many, the pandemic poses an existential risk: Millions of Americans are still without health insurance. Even those who survive the infection unscathed have to fear for their financial survival in the midst of the crisis.
