In der letzten Woche gab es in USA täglich 150.000 Neuinfizierte.
Experten befürchten nun bis Jahresende 400.000 Covid-Tote allein in USA. Die US-Regierung ist gelähmt, weil Trump nicht übergeben will. Der dringend benötigte Stimulus ist ebenfalls nicht in Aussicht.
Spannend bleibt, wie lange die Aktienindizes mit ihrem Impfstoff-Hype noch "dagegenhalten" können. An diesem Montag ging es wegen Moderna hoch. Letzten Montag ging es wegen Biontech/Pfizer hoch. Derweil kackt die Realwirtschaft ab.
Die Rallye vom letzten Montag wurde als schwarze Kerze abverkauft. Ähnliches droht mMn auch heute wieder.

The U.S. has averaged more than 150,000 cases in the last week, according to a New York Times tracker, an increase of 81% from the average two weeks ago. There are currently a record of 69,987 COVID-19 patients in U.S. hospitals, according to the COVID Tracking Project, topping the previous record of 69,455 set a day ago and up 87% from a month ago....
...Experts are increasingly worried that incumbent President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the election to Democrat Joe Biden and allow his administration to clear the way for Biden’s transition will lead to ever more cases, hospitalizations and fatalities.
“We are on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe and approaching potentially 400,000 Americans who could perish by the early part of next year,” Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and professor of pediatrics and molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine, on CNN.
By January, when the formal transition will take place, 2,000 to 2,500 Americans will be dying every day, according to the projections of the Institute for Health Metrics, he said. That means COVID-19 could be the single leading cause of death in the U.S. daily.
