US President Joe Biden warned of the worsening situation with the coronavirus in the country. RIA Novosti reports.
“Let me be clear: the situation will continue to deteriorate before it improves,” said the American leader.
According to him, the number of deaths will reach 500 thousand in February. Biden added that it will take months for the situation to improve. At the same time, the politician expressed confidence that the United States will defeat the pandemic.
In December, Biden predicted the timing of an improvement in the situation with coronavirus in the country. The Democrat argued that citizens may not see positive trends with the pandemic until March. “Critics said that I was alarmist, but I always promised to tell you how things really are,” the politician explained.
According to the Johns Hopkins University project, the United States remains the country with the highest number of coronavirus cases in the world: 24,538,028. 408,011 people have died in the country since the start of the pandemic.
