As of Friday morning, more than 9,024,100 people in the United States have been infected with the coronavirus and at least 228,700 have died, according to a New York Times database.
The national trajectory is worsening rapidly. Wisconsin has opened a field hospital. North Dakota, which not long ago had relatively few cases, has grown so overwhelmed that it has now ended most contact tracing. Cases have reached record levels recently in more than 20 states, including Illinois, Tennessee, New Mexico, Nebraska and Utah.
Deaths, though still well below their peak spring levels, averaged around 775 per day by late October, far more than were reported in early July.
