U.S. Hits Record Daily Case Rise

Throughout the election, COVID-19 was a topic of great discussion. However, as votes were being counted, tensions were high and many have been on the edge of their seats. 

It seems as though the pandemic has been forgotten throughout all of the election chaos: and with that comes a record daily case rise in the U.S. which is three days running. 

More than 127,000 cases and 1,149 deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours. In total, the United States has more than 9.7 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, and more than 230,000 deaths; making the United States the worst affected nation in the world.

OPINION:

Blatant irresponsibility, along with lackluster public health measures in the United States is the main reason as to why the nation is at the top of the list right now. Nations which followed rules and took precautions such as China and Croatia have now seen very low numbers in regard to daily cases of COVID-19. The United States government has continued to blame China for this virus, however it is clear that the only reason we are struggling is due to a lackluster public health response and disregard for science.
