美国新冠疫情日记 11/12

We Say Thank You To All Veterans

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, Texas has surpassed 1 million COVID-19 infections and has become the first U.S. state to record such a staggering number of cases. This represents about one-tenth of the nation’s more than 10 million positive tests that were reported from the Lone Star state.

Texas also reported more than 10,000 new cases for the second day in the row.

El Paso County is among the hardest hit in the country. The report also showed that more people in Texas prisons have contracted the virus than in any other prison system in the country.

We feel so sad that Texas has suffered so much, even though we have the largest medical center in the world. But we still can’t rescue them all.

White House political affairs director Brian Jack has tested positive for the coronavirus. This adds to a growing list of individuals in President Trump’s orbit who have contracted the virus.

Today is also Veterans Day. We take this opportunity to salute all the service men and women for their sacrifice for our country. In this pandemic time a lot of veterans also need help.

Today President Trump still denies the outcome of the 2020 election. But this cannot change an undeniable reality: Joe Biden won decisively ending up with over five million votes ahead of Trump.

We all hope the political dispute in D.C. will be ended as soon as possible. We don’t want to see many of our citizens still losing their battle with the virus.
