SANAA, Aug. 9 (YPA) – After the United States recorded the highest daily death toll from the emerging coronavirus in six months, the Director of the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins, warned on Sunday that the country was failing in the fight against the epidemic.
Francis Collins said on “This Week program” which is broadcast on the ABC network, “We shouldn’t have gotten to where we are.” “Yes, we fail,” Collins added.
The sharp spread of infections with the delta mutated from Corona led to an increase in the total number of new daily infections in the United States of America to 118 thousand, the highest level recorded by the country since last February.
Also, the number of deaths increased by 89% over the past two weeks, although it decreased slightly in the rest of the world.
Children’s hospitals in US states such as Florida are also “overburdened”, and young people are increasingly affected.
