It's the biggest jump in 24 hours in more than a month as the nation heads into a challenging new season.
Cases of COVID-19 are on the rise again, with the nation tallying a troubling 55,000 in a single day Friday.
The U.S. has now recorded more than 7 million cases and more than 204,000 deaths. New cases are on the rise in 22 states as Americans head into fall and face an increasing likelihood of contagion indoors and a complicating flu season. Some states have set new records in recent days too. “Wisconsin is now experiencing unprecedented, near-exponential growth of the number of COVID-19 cases in our state,” Evers warned.
In other bad news, a new study has found that fewer than 10% of Americans have developed antibodies against COVID-19, meaning hope of developing a pre-vaccine herd immunity is an enormous number of illnesses — and deaths — away. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported similar findings.
