85% of new cases recorded in the last 24 hours have occurred in Europe and the United States, and 40% of them in the latter case. Margaret Harris, one of the spokesmen for the WHO, has affirmed the "potential" of the United States to become the new epicenter of the pandemic. In addition, it has trusted that the number of infections and 14,510 deaths worldwide will increase due to the rapid expansion of the pandemic.
The authorities estimate that the United States will exceed 82,000 cases of contagion by the Chinese authorities. For his part, US President Donald Trump has highlighted the difficulties in accessing health resources, which means "difficult" to obtain masks and ventilators for the government.
Trump has also said he wants to reopen the country’s businesses in a matter of weeks, and has said that prolonged confinement will cause more deaths than the pandemic itself. However, health experts have warned that the country’s health system will overflow if Americans do not isolate themselves.
