Yesterday more than 50 thousand new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the United States.

On Sunday Florida reported 15,000 new coronavirus cases, the highest number in a single day since the outbreak of the pandemic, even higher than the worst New York numbers.

Scientists warn that the United States could record over 100,000 new cases per day at this rate, but President Donald Trump continues to push for a return to normality.

• COVID-19 epidemic: 140 thousand victims in the USA and 3 and a half million infections
• The new epicenter of the infection is Florida, where there were 15,000 new cases on Sunday
• Trump confirmed that Washington will leave the World Health Organization

Meanwhile, Trump visited a military hospital in Washington wearing the mask, with which he had never shown himself in public before.

In recent days, however, the US President has confirmed that Washington will leave the World Health Organization, of which the US was the largest financier with $400 million last year.

Yet, according to journalist Giampiero Gramaglia, the announcement may have no practical effect and the United States will remain in the organization.
