October 24, 2020 -- The United States has passed another grim benchmark in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the pandemic began, almost 8.5 million coronavirus cases have been reported in the United States, with nearly 225,000 coronavirus-related deaths, Johns Hopkins says.The daily average for new coronavirus cases measured across seven days has been rising since mid-September. It’s now 63,268. Health experts have predicted a surge would occur as fall and winter hit the United States and more people stay inside. Students returning to campus and states lifting restrictions are also thought to have fueled the increases in cases.
