The coronavirus pandemic continues to cause great damage in the United States, which has already exceeded 250,000 deaths from COVID-19.

The country is the most affected in the world with more than 11.5 million registered cases and 250,180 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. However, world accountants already increase those figures to 11.8 million infected and 256,311 deaths.

New York is no longer the state with the most infections, but it is still the hardest hit in terms of deaths in the United States with 34,187.

Other states with the worst death figures are: Texas (20,147), California (18,406), Florida (17,731) and New Jersey (16,655).

In terms of infections, Texas has 1,078,875, followed by California with 1,059,336, third is Florida with 905,248, Illinois is fourth with 606,771 and New York fifth with 574,072.

The provisional death toll -250,180 - far exceeds the lower limit of the initial estimates of the White House, which in the best of cases projected between 100,000 and 240,000 deaths from the pandemic.

It is even estimated that by the end of the year the United States will reach 320,000 deaths and by March 1 to 440,000, according to projections made by the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluations (IHME) of the University of Washington, in whose models for predicting the evolution of the pandemic are often set by the White House.
