NEW YORK - The death toll from the spread of the coronavirus in the United States exceeded 200,000 on Tuesday , by the far the highest number of any nation.

"It affects virtually nobody. It's an amazing thing," Trump told supporters at a Swanton, Ohio, campaign rally Monday night. With barely six weeks left before the election on Nov 3, Trump is behind Democratic rival Joe Biden nationally in every major opinion poll and is neck and neck in key swing states.

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield recently told Congress that a face mask would provide more guaranteed protection than a vaccine, which would only be broadly available by"late second quarter, third quarter 2021". The University of Washington's health institute is forecasting coronavirus fatalities reaching 378,000 by the end of 2020, with the daily death toll skyrocketing to 3,000 per day in December.

California, Texas and Florida - the three most populous US states - have recorded the most coronavirus infections and have long surpassed the state of New York, which was the epicentre of the outbreak in early 2020. The country as a whole is reporting over 42,000 new infections on average each day and saw cases last week rise on a weekly basis after falling for eight weeks in a row.
