| Abstract (English): | The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most severe health crises of the last century. In this manuscript, we summarize the epidemiologic situation of the United States of America (US), with a mixture of personal observations and epidemiological data. We highlight the importance of considering the pre-pandemic health and political situation, where the US showed a worse health status as compared to other Western economies, with an unequal and fragmented health system. We follow with a description of the evolution of the pandemic in the US, starting in New York and other large East Coast cities, followed by a second wave in the South. Last, we highlight two challenges during the pandemic: the worsening of existing health disparities and the political situation of the country, that has polarized epidemic control measures.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La pandemia de COVID-19 es una de las crisis sanitarias globales mas importantes del último siglo. En este articulo resumimos la situación en los Estados Unidos de América (EEUU) con respecto a la pandemia, con una mezcla de observaciones personales y datos epidemiológicos. Reseñamos la importancia de considerar la situación sanitaria y política previa a la pandemia, desde donde EEUU parte como un país con una esperanza de vida más baja que otros países occidentales, con un sistema sanitario fragmentado y muy desigual. Seguidamente describimos como ha evolucionado la pandemia en el país, con un inicio en Nueva York y otras ciudades de la costa este, seguida de una segunda ola en el sur del país. Por último, destacamos dos retos fundamentales durante la pandemia: el agravamiento de las desigualdades en salud, y la situación política del país, que ha partidizado las medidas de control epidemiológico.
