The United States has the worst Covid-19 outbreak in the world with more than 5 million cases, according to Johns Hopkins University data.California and Florida have both reported more than 500,000 total cases since the outbreak hit the U.S. in late January and Texas is closely approaching that number.
The latest grim record comes as growth in new cases in the U.S. appears to be leveling off at an average of 54,235 new infections a day over the last week, according to a CNBC analysis of Hopkins' data. New cases peaked at 67,902 new cases on July 19, based on a seven-day average, after a resurgence of coronavirus cases ripped through the Sun Belt states in June and July.
Doctors say they've been able to save more lives compared with the peak in New York in March and April because they know more about the virus and have discovered better treatments, such as remdesivir. The recent surge in cases has also affected far more younger people, who also have higher survival rates.
"Every country has suffered. We, the United States, has suffered ... as much or worse than anyone," Fauci said"I mean when you look at the number of infections and the number of deaths, it really is quite concerning," he said.
Megresistor If people would just consider others, we could probably get a hold of this virus. 250,000 people in SD with motorcycles and no face coverings.
That’s NOTHING compare to 4 Ebola cases right GOP ?
Yawn...
Yes, but case counts are irrelevant. We will all eventually, get this. It’s unstoppable! Look at death rates. They are falling very low, both here since first arrival, and now. If you are obsessed with case counts, please contrast to yearly flu numbers as well!
The mass protests with thousands of people screaming and sweating on each other are what’s killings us. Protest from zoom or troll on twitter and STOP spreading the virus.
Divine vengeance for electing Trump
MiguelICarlos Why are you pushing remdesivir when HCQ is cheap & effective? Why does the media including social media censor doctors who have success treating patients with HCQ while simultaneously pushing fraudulent studies? 🤔 Class action lawsuits can be very effective.
This is such a crock! I was just in Iowa 2 days ago and through Minnesota and Illinois and if it wasn't for the media you wouldn't think anything was going on. Covid hoax will be gone after the election. Oh yeah, and I also wasn't forced to wear a mask inside the Iowa Walmart.
