. releases the 1st video if it's perseverance rovers don't think descends on too long. welcome to the program the united states has marked another some but milestone in its fight against the corona virus and on monday the number of covered 19 related deaths in the country's suppost 500000 that translates into $148.00 deaths per 100000 infections let's compare that to some other countries it's slightly behind the united kingdom which has one of the world's highest death rates at $177.00. 100000 germany has relatively low death toll with only 78100000 that's

hamas the u.s. figure. u.s. president joe biden let americans in observing a moment of silence to honor the nation's hof 1000000 coronavirus victims today we mark a truly groome heartbreaking milestone. 500000 71. dead. that's more americans who died in one year whose pandemic. than a world war one war 2 in the vietnam war combined. that's more lives lost to this virus than any other nation on earth but as rig knowledge the scale of this mass death in america remember each person and the life they lived joe biden speaking that i was on from washington by that of

your correspondent stephanie stephanie in that speech so biden said he wants to reduce the bipartisanship surrounding the pandemic is it too late for the us. know it's not 500000 dead americans are definitely a reason to leave bipartisan and political bickering behind but that was more aimed towards people who are affected by the pandemic or who are still a life their economical votes they or their hardship when it comes to paying rent getting enough food for their kids and so on so that was clearly aimed at what is going on right now in washington that the white house and democrats are trying to bring through the $1.00 trillion dollar apec h. . joe biden wants to push through and with that $1400.00 for all americans and of course there is as pointed out political bickering republicans are against

this and want to reduce the sums and what is paid to people so that was good to what's that but however absolutely right the president did say it's saying it's a horrible number 500000 dead americans it's not not something the u.s. can be proud of and yet the u.s. is also one of the leading countries in terms of vaccinations around 13 percent of the population have received that 1st shot how does that change things on the run things. yeah that's good news and administration as well as the state governments are pushing the pedal there and there's hope for more even faster broader vaccination programs to be implemented here in the united states teachers bringing kids back to school and teachers that teachers getting vaccinated days going to be a big push in that direction too however the problem is you see even if the society

here and towns cities and places open up a little bit more now get a little bit more lax in their in their restrictions of people how they get there where they eat is there for restaurants open and so on. it's not broad enough and it's not fast enough it could be broad and faster and don't forget there are predictions out there who say that up to $150.00 more 100-115-0000 more americans could die by summer so that is not there with all the vaccination that is good everybody is pushing the pedal here to give more vaccinations to the people but still 150000 people could die until some are still with all this going on. the u.s. is in the top 10 of countries with the highest death toll capita why have so many americans died one of the world's richest countries briefly. well because. at least that's what many experts say trumpeting ministration the foreigners freshen under under donald trump has made significant mistakes in the

u.s. was really really really really laid reacts could have been done more approaches something here you see this was headline washington post. in may last may last year ok $100000.00 that was the 1st shocker. the after that the administration stands accused of not really grasping the green grass the the magnitude of the crisis here not doing fast enough things fast enough to stop the virus and this threat and that's the reason why when so bad here in america america could have done better everybody's. the same virginia that stephanie was in washington thank you stephen british prime minister john snow has unveiled a roadmap to ease the coronavirus lockdown in england he calls his plan a cautious but irreversible path back to normality infections and death have been declining in england helped by a rapid fax anation rollout more than
