More than 42000 new cases were confirmed in a single day in the United States, with a total of more than 5.65 million cases

Novel coronavirus pneumonia was diagnosed in 5650664 cases around 6:30 Beijing time in August 19th, according to Worldometer real-time statistics. 174864 cases died in total. Compared with the data at 6:30 the previous day, there were 42465 new confirmed cases and 1255 new deaths in the United States. The United States has become the worst country in the world to deal with the epidemic, because the White House has missed many good opportunities in the fight against the epidemic, said ashesh Jia, director of the Harvard Institute of global health on Monday. He said that the severe situation of the U.S. epidemic situation was not created overnight, but “misfortune over and over again”, “the only factor that really makes us (the United States) open the gap with other countries is the denial of scientific methods”. According to US media reports on the 17th, the US Department of Agriculture announced that five minks were found to have new coronavirus in two large mink farms in Utah. This is the first time minks in the United States have been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus. Previously, Denmark, Spain and the Netherlands also had cases of new coronavirus infection in minks. The Netherlands killed 1 million Minks to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says there is no similar plan in Utah, and state officials will instruct operators to take biosafety measures to prevent further spread of the virus.
