500,000 Americans Die from COVID-19 – level 1

500,000 Americans Die from COVID-19

01-03-2021 07:00

500,000 people die from COVID-19 in the US. It is a very high number. Nobody expects that the number will be so high. The situation in the US is very serious. Something like this happens in 1918. Spanish flu kills millions of people in all of the world.

Experts think that the serious situation will continue. It is possible that people will wear masks in 2022.

People hope that the vaccination will solve the problem. The vaccination is slow. Only 15% of people in the US get the COVID-19 vaccine. It is a small number.

The US president says that millions of people will get the vaccine soon. The president believes that Christmas 2022 will be better than Christmas last year.

Difficult words: expect (to think that something will happen), continue (to not stop), vaccination (when a person gets a vaccine and he does not get a disease in the future).
