Task force sees 'unrelenting' COVID-19 spread; daily U.S. cases up by record 91,000

WASHINGTON - The White House coronavirus task force warned that much of the country is in the grips of an “unrelenting” surge in COVID-19 cases and urged tough countermeasures, as the number of U.S. infections reported on Thursday hit a new daily record of more than 91,000.

Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, said coronavirus cases were on the rise in 47 states, and patients were overwhelming hospitals across the country. The ominous assessment was echoed on Thursday by Dr. Ashish Jha, Brown University’s dean of public health, who told Reuters, “things are very, very bad in the United States right now.”

The number of Americans hospitalized with COVID-19 stood at some 46,000 on Thursday, the most since Aug. 14. More than 229,000 people have died of the respiratory virus in the United States - the world’s highest national toll - with nearly 9 million infections documented so far.Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced the creation of “COVID Defense Teams” of community leaders to focus on measures for slowing the spread.

As cases soar across Utah, Vinik said there was a dire need for specialized medical professionals to handle the surge.

clarkfornorman Trump2020 Bitches!!!

Uh ... uh ... hmmm! Did WH personnel consult Mr. Trump before publishing this info?

It will disappear

That extra decimal on to the survival rate just won't keep still. Started at 98%, no wait 99.8, hang on today it is 99.98. Looking forward to tomorrow when it drops to 99.998. No sense, no honour.

are we surprised No…we all see it coming for US, except Trump & his followers……death toll will go up in two/three weeks…sad for ppl have no choice but have to go out to make a living

realDonaldTrump Man, all we hear out of the Whitehouse these days is 'Covid, Covid, Covid!' Y'all should do something about that.

That extra decimal on to the death rate just won't keep still. Started at 98%, no wait 99.8, hang on today it is 99.98. Looking forward to tomorrow when it drops to 99.998. No sense or no honour. (Actually around 97.5% pandemic to date, slightly worse in the last week)

Saving this tweet. If Biden is elected, this ”surge” will magically disappear

No geertwilderspvv No EmmanuelMacron No terrorism no crusaders no conflict all over the world

Meanwhile the TrumpDeathCult and their cronies keep pretending it is not happening. VOTE VoteThemOut

Maybe someone should notify our Liar-in-Chief.

Donald says we’re turning the curve.

Devem estar pulverizando o veneno com aviões (rastros químicos).

the country is fuckup They can not coordinate together Too many counties and states Some states with less 1mil

The stupidity in these comments along with the dumbass in the WH, are the reasons America is in such a mess.

107,000 on Saturday... hopefully Trump is one of them.

Thanks to the pretentious leader

But Don Trump Jr thinks coronavirus deaths had dropped to “almost nothing.” So, which is it? Do we believe the WH Covid Task Force or do we believe Trump’s own son!? They all have so much credibility! 😂😂Anyone with eyes can see this regime is in shambles!

We’re looking at 2,000 COVID-19 deaths per day by the end of the year. That’s more than cancer, which kills about 1,600 Americans per day 😳

We have learned how to treat this virus. There is a 99.99% probability of survival, so chill out. Stop fear-mongering. You can stay in your basement. The rest of us are getting on with our lives.

Mismanagement from the top, down. realDonaldTrump iagov SenJoniErnst ChuckGrassley

What kind of countermeasures? Going to rallies with no mask?

Someone should tell Don Jr. to update his Instagram.

Then tell the person living under the WH roof and his kids to stop helping the spread through the rallies

BS shit

Which task force? The one preaching herd immunity? The one essentially led by a radiologist as the actual experts are sidelined?

But evil Trump is still having his rallies is it going to take most of them to die before they figure out we have the antichrist in the white house

Be careful out there............ Don't do anything dumb......

Before the evil, ignorant, lying Trump, the USA was considered excellent at pandemic containment.

Fear porn

Everyone’s so focused on the election it doesn’t even feel like we’re in the middle of a peak outbreak rn

كورونا موليه😞

So Trump didn’t end the pandemic?
