Washington. US President Donald Trump has said that the Corona transition in the country is the highest honor in the world. He said in the White House on Tuesday, "When you say that we are ahead in the cases of infection, I don't mind it. This means that we have done more testing than anyone else. This is a good thing, because it shows that our testing is better. I see it as an 'honor'. "

 

According to John Hopkins University, there have been more than 15 lakh 70 thousand cases in the US and more than 93 thousand deaths. Russia is at number two where around 3 lakh people have been found infected.

 

Democratic National Committee criticized

The Democratic National Committee has criticized Trump's statement. The committee tweeted that getting more than 10 lakh cases of Corona in the country is completely a failure of our country's leadership. This was also questioned at a Senate meeting last week. Republican MP Mitt Romney said that the country's testing record is not good. The cases started coming up in February March. From this perspective, the testing done so far is not enough. There is nothing like being happy in it.

 

More than 10 million people have been screened in America so far

According to a Oxford University-based scientific publication, Capta Testing on America is far behind. It is ranked 16th in the world for every 1 thousand people tested. In this list, it lags behind countries like Iceland, New Zealand, Russia and Canada. In the last one week, America is testing between 3 and 4 lakhs every day. However, according to Harvard Global Health Institute, America needs to do at least 5 million tests every day to open its economy.
