There were 77,255 new cases reported Thursday, topping a previous high set two days ago, according to Johns Hopkins University. At least 943 people were reported dead that day.
More than 138,000 people have died from coronavirus nationwide, and experts warn that number will likely go up as hospitalizations rise in several states. In Texas and Arizona, morgues are filling up in the hardest-hit areas and officials are bringing in coolers and refrigerated trailers to store bodies.
In South Texas' Hidalgo County, some patients have to wait on a stretcher for 10 hours before being examined due to lack of resources, said Dr. Ivan Melendez, the public health authority.
"We are in dire need, and we are exhausted," he said. "We had four ICU patients. Now we have 211. We had three people on ventilators. Now we have 135."

(128,516 posts)and for something like 110+ days straight - literally 7 days a week without a missed day, Cuomo, his Governor's Secretary DeRosa, and his state Health Secretary Zucker, appeared at a daily press conference to discuss being overwhelmed.
And just like that, you now have states that have already passed, many times over, NY's daily positive case numbers when they were at their very worst, and it's only a matter of time (lag) when the deaths come piling in. And this during what has been a period of RECORD HEAT in mid-summer.
