For a second straight day, the U.S. set a grim record by notching more than 100,000 new coronavirus cases.
Exact numbers varied, from 116,255 recorded by the COVID Tracking Project, to the New York Times’ count of more than 117,000 new cases, to Johns Hopkins University reporting 121,054 daily cases.
According to Johns Hopkins data, the U.S. also recorded 1,187 deaths Thursday, a nearly 20% jump from the previous week.
New coronavirus cases have spiked in much of the U.S. in recent weeks, raising fears that the long-expected fall/winter surge has begun. Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Wisconsin all reported daily records in new cases Thursday.
A number of prominent public health experts, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, have warned that the government needs to act aggressively as the U.S. enters what is expected to be the “most deadly” phase of the pandemic.
Daily new confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. have surged 45% over the past two weeks, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins. Deaths have risen 15% over that span, averaging around 850 a day.
To date, the U.S. has recorded more than 9.6 million coronavirus cases and nearly 235,000 deaths, both the most in the world.
