The U.S. on Thursday recorded a record 88,452 cases, bringing its average over the past week to around 76,000 — the highest point so far this year. Hospitalizations are on the rise too, reaching numbers not seen since mid-August.
Indiana, meanwhile, has nearly 1,700 people in its hospitals and 470 patients in the ICU, the latter figure up 70 percent in the five weeks since Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb removed most coronavirus-related restrictions. "The task force proactively reaches out to, meets with, and has calls with jurisdictions across America to ensure they are receiving data, supplies, medication, and personnel," the spokesperson said.
Though the administration in September celebrated shipping millions of rapid tests around the country to slow the virus' transmission, cases have continued to spread uncontrolled. Roughly a dozen states have seen their positive test rates soar well above the 10 percent benchmark the task force initially targeted.
For many state leaders, the White House’s relative detachment from the crisis on the ground is unsurprising. Trump made clear early on that despite creating the task force, his administration would not coordinate a national response. Most states have long since set up their own supply lines and procedures instead.

He doesn’t care.
Nazi mentality😨😨😨
Pence didn’t care right from day one. He gets his marching orders from Trump and his family who do not care about the COVID but their re-election. Are these Republicans PATRIOTIC. Actions speaks louder than words. Americans should send a clear message to them. VP
Fake news
Biggest surge of cases! Cases aren’t hospitalization and they aren’t deaths
Add this to The Donald Duck Administration. They duck responsibility.
This admin has no interest in fighting the virus.

Trump has waged a war on women, seniors, people of color, LBGTQ community & immigrants He has destroyed our democracy, polluted our environment & has NO PLAN to contain the virus Add to the fact he paid less taxes than all working women. They don’t believe in science.
Pence is a failure in running pandemic and closet gay man
He'll be out of a job come January 20th. BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica
He already gave them their marching orders
A$$hole
Mike Pence is a failure. He let his raw ambition to become president corrupt his integrity and devour his soul.

👊💥⚡😬😤👊👊👊👊👊👊
Weasel.
Pence and his Conoviros govt team have believed their leader and now is too sick to even fulfill their government mandate to protect the nation.
Pence putting the 'dead' in deadbeat.
😠
Bc he is a Dope!
Don't you know he has an election to win? Where's the time to attend to people's work Do you think country's work is more important than winning his election
Busy sleeping. I think there is a reason why Trump calls Joe Biden 'sleepy Joe'. Deflection. Pence can hardly stay awake for more than 20 minutes...
Maybe Mike meant Memorial Day 2023? 'Pence says coronavirus could be 'largely' behind us by Memorial Day weekend'
quite frankly, i consider Mike Pence a bigger failure than POTUS because Mike knew better seemed humble enough Miss K ~~ admits when she is wrong i am embarrassed for his family YourVoteMatters so please Votar
He is a 🤡 just like his boss! VoteHimOut VoteTrumpOut
yet he & dtrump yell at JoeBiden for all the things he did not accomplish when he was VICE PRESIDENT for god's sake. NEWSFLASH: BarackObama was PRESIDENT wish Biden had called dtrump out during debate for that tho dtrump probably has no idea who his opponent is
Pence is AWOL in the biggest crisis since WWII. Back then there was a penalty for such actions.
For all his plastic religiosity, he is a soul-less empty suit, an organization man whose chosen organization is a crime family led by a circus don.
It was all for show. Nothing more than that
Zero surprise. He also pushed for his Home state to open schools, yet did nothing to ensure safe openings. Now 5,000 confirmed COV-19 in Indiana Public Schools and many schools haven’t reported yet. It’s still Fall.
The administration of realDonaldTrump VP wants you to believe mission accomplished….Wouldnt you dismiis them if this was the result?
Time to fire him.
Just out spreading RONA, desperately trying to cling to political power. Criminal. They should be treated as such.
I'm not entirely sure that Medieval Mike even believes in germ theory.
He's busy with other meetings
When one gives up you know? 🤷🏻♀️
What a BS
