[YNet] - The United States, Russia, France and many other countries are setting records for coronavirus infections as a tidal wave of cases washes over parts of the Northern Hemisphere, forcing some countries to impose new curbs.Note: there is no such things as American coronavirus, Russian coronavirus, or EUropean coronavirus - the minor differences between strains do not affect function. ...Nor is it a consequence of more testing The number of new COVID-19 cases in the United States last week rose 24% while the number of tests performed rose 5.5%, according to a Reuters analysis.
