COVID-19 is surging in large midwestern states while continuing to burn through heavily rural states in the Mountain West. Testing growth has slowed, and new outbreaks are rising in long-term care facilities. Nationally, deaths are up 8 percent, and on Wednesday the United States broke 100,000 new cases a day.
The number of new COVID-19 cases reported by US states and territories surpassed 100,000 Wednesday, an all-time high and a testament to our nation's persistent failure to get the virus under control. New cases rose 20 percent across the country this week. Meanwhile, the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19 shot up 14 percent; more than 52,000 people in the United States were hospitalized as of yesterday. Since last Wednesday, states reported 6,007 deaths from COVID-19, up 8 percent from the previous week.
