Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg lashed out at the eldest son of President Donald Trump on Friday. On Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. falsely minimized the deaths related to coronavirus, telling Fox News the Trump administration had the pandemic under control. Cases and deaths from the novel coronavirus in the US are rising rapidly. The US broke its single-day coronavirus case record last week with over 88,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day, in addition to over 1,000 deaths. Business Insider reports Buttigieg criticized Trump Jr. for being 'out of touch' when he said US coronavirus deaths are down to 'almost nothing.' Tell that to any of the Americans who are confronting what is literally the worst mass casualty event in this country since World War II. Pete Buttigieg

Dr. Anthony Fauci had previously said it could take up to 90% of the US population to get vaccinated to reach herd immunity against the coronavirus. But on Sunday, he clarified his 'guesstimate' downwards to 70 to 85% of the population. Business Insider reports Fauci admitted on CNN's 'State of the Union' that 'we all have to be honest and humble, nobody really knows for sure.' This month, the US Food and Drug Administration authorized both Moderna and Pfizer and BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine for emergency use. Healthcare professionals and frontline workers across the country have been getting vaccinations since the vaccine rollouts.
In the past two days, the US has reported more than 220,000 positive coronavirus tests. The new cases bring the past week's total to more than 660,000 new cases of COVID-19. The US reported more than 121,000 new coronavirus infections Thursday. The staggering number broke the daily case record of over 100,000 cases t set just 24 hours ago. According to CNN, Wednesday marked the first time the US hit a six-figure number of infections. As cases soar, the number of hospitalized Americans is surging, with more than 53,000 patients across the US.
A new Reuters analysis reveals President Donald Trump actually performed better this year than he did in 2016, in counties where many have died from COVID-19. Results from 139 counties in 19 different states found that Trump made a 4% jump in votes in areas highly impacted by the coronavirus. According to HuffPost, Trump also won the majority of votes in states with the highest COVID-19 death rates, including Florida and Texas. More than 230,000 Americans and over 1 million people worldwide have died of the novel coronavirus. Nevertheless, many American voters supported the president. Constituents in these areas may have been susceptible to COVID-19 because they listened to the Trump administration's consistent downplaying of the virus. Many Trump supporters do not wear masks or believe COVID-19 is as severe as it really is, in part, due to the administration’s consistent downplaying of the virus.
