America's daily case count on Monday was more than twice the number seen in any other country at any time. The highest number outside the US came during India's Delta surge, when more than 414,000 people were diagnosed on May 7, 2021.

The stratospheric numbers being posted in the US come even as many Americans are relying on tests they take at home, with results that aren't reported to official government authorities.The surging infections have led to cancelled flights, closed schools and offices,The data from Johns Hopkins University is complete as of midnight eastern time in Baltimore, and delays in reporting over the holidays may have played a role in the rising rates.
