Soaring US coronavirus cases, hospitalizations overshadow July 4 celebrations
– Rising coronavirus cases in 39 US states cast a shadow over the nation’s Fourth of July celebrations as health experts worried that holiday parties will cause a further spike in infections that could overwhelm hospitals.
Florida’s cases have risen by over 10,000 for three out of the last four days, including climbing by 10,059 on Sunday, surpassing the highest daily tally reported by any European country during the height of the coronavirus outbreak there.
During an Independence Day speech at the White House on Saturday, US President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that 99% of coronavirus cases in the United States were “totally harmless.” Miami Beach’s coronavirus hospitalizations have doubled in the last 14 days and hospitals now have 158 people on ventilators, up from 64 two weeks ago, he told CNN.
