U.S. sees record-breaking 45,300 new confirmed coronavirus cases in one day

Source: CBS News

The number of new confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States surged to an all-time high with 45,300 new cases reported on Friday, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. That's up from 40,000 new cases reported a day earlier.

The spike comes more than three months since the first wave mostly struck cities in the country's north and east – and then declined.

Thirty-one states have reported jumps in cases compared to two weeks ago, Michael George reports for "CBS This Morning: Saturday." Big increases in COVID-19 cases are now being reported across the Sun Belt.

In Texas and Florida, two of the nation's largest states, governors are reversing course and tightening restrictions after coronavirus numbers jumped following their reopenings. Texas reported that more than 5,100 coronavirus patients are currently hospitalized – a record high for the 15th consecutive day.

This could be a November to remember - and not just on account of the elections.

Because it pushes their Darwin and get-the-government-off-our-backs buttons at the same time!

Fatalities, schmatalities. It's good for the undertaking business!

Although total deaths are nearly identical.

And when I go to the link to the Johns Hopkins site, I can't seem to find that 43,300 new cases. Weird.

earlier in the reporting day = fewer cases. And some countries like those in the East may have reported all the cases for the day while those in the West have not.

Click on "yesterday" or "two days ago" (both just above the left-side of the table of countries) https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries to see a full day's of statistics.

Dunno what to tell you about the John Hopkins site, every time I looked at it, it confused me and didn't have what i was looking for or made it as difficult as possible to find.

With the pandemic, more people with autoimmune problems. I think that this means the flu season might come earlier this year, maybe in October. Then what happens is not going to be pretty. Flu patients and Covid-19 patients will need more ventilators and ICU beds. More people with flu and Covid-019. I can't see the death rate slowing down. I think we will be lucky, yeh lucky, if we end the year with less than 1,500,000 deaths and I am usually an optimist.

Just another thing the administration effed up either on purpose or because they’re horrible at this.
