Bill O'Reilly here Friday, October 9, 2020. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Here's

what's happening today in America. Will COVID ever go away? More than 36 million people have

contracted the virus worldwide, at least a million have died in 120 countries. And Democrats

assist the global pandemic is entirely Donald Trump's fault. Said Joe Biden at a recent town hall

quote, if the president had done his job, all the people would still be alive. Unquote.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused President Trump of inviting the disease with his

brazen behavior. What the media will never tell you is that COVID is still a major problem all

over the world. So how can the contagion be pinned on one man, the president of the United States?

Germany now reporting the highest number of new infections in April. The UK bringing back the

shutdown as its death toll passes 42,000. France confirming 12,000 cases of COVID every day,

even clusters in COVID-free New Zealand forced officials there to delay the national election.

Same situation in Canada, Mexico, Italy, Brazil, Australia, Russia, almost everywhere.

Is Prime Minister Boris Johnson the blame about Merkel, Macron, Putin?

Here in the USA, the pandemic is holding steady. Cases are slowly rising in 30 states and Washington,

DC. New outbreaks in New York City forcing officials to close some schools just weeks after reopening.

Biggest hot spots now in the Midwest, the positivity rate and the decoders topping 20% for the first time.

Wisconsin also posting record numbers. On average, the entire country witnesses 50,000 new COVID

infections every day astounding. The worst state in the USA right now, North Dakota, 25,000 cases out

of a population of 750,000. If you are looking at the safest place to avoid the virus, head to New England

and Vermont less than 2,000 people have contracted the contagion, just 58 have died. Second and

third place with the lowest rate of infection go to New Hampshire and Maine. And it's really nice up

there in autumn. Coming up, the message of the day listeners sound off. All right back.
