COVID-19 rages across the United States as the number of people who have died from the virus in the country closes in on 400,000.
While the last week here in Washington has been dominated by the attack on the U.S. Capitol and the impeachment of President Trump for the second time, the country continues to battle a COVID-19 crisis.
The number of those dying from the virus across America is staggering. Over the last week, the daily average of new cases being reported is around 250-thousand. More than 23 million people in the U.S. have been infected so far.
