“New COVID Cases In The U.S. Surpass 90,000 In One Day | The U.S. is set to hit another painful milestone in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic. The country surpassed 9 million reported cases of the virus yesterday. That’s the most of any country. On Thursday, the U.S. reported more than 87,000 new cases — the most in a single day during the pandemic. The average number of new daily cases is up over 20% compared to the previous week. But testing has increased only by about 9% during that same time. Forty-one states saw at least a 10% rise in cases this week compared to last. More than 46,000 COVID patients are hospitalized this morning. Because of these numbers, health officials around the country are worried about hospital capacity.” – Newsy
