The U.S. recorded 99,321 new coronavirus cases on Friday. It's the highest single-day increase yet — a sentence likely to be repeated in the coming weeks, amid a third surge that's expected to dwarf the previous two.

Coronavirus cases are once again surging across much of the country, reaching almost 100,000 on Friday.

It's the greatest single-day increase of the pandemic so far — a sentence likely to be repeated in the coming weeks as the U.S. experiences a third surge in infections that's expected to dwarf the previous two. Experts have long warned of a devastating increase with the changing of the seasons, as colder weather forces a pandemic-weary public inside and social distancing restrictions become harder to enforce.

Health experts say the current increase is being driven in large part by people who don't have any symptoms. It's a"silent epidemic," Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told the SiriusXM show Doctor Radio Reports on Friday, according to

They keep calling these “surges”... I don’t recall the infections really slowing down since March. I have been socially distancing and wearing a mask for almost 8 months. When were we told after March that we didn’t need to anymore? (By experts, that is).

xoMissDanielle This I what happens when people wanna hang out and have parties and no social distance or wear masks

DAupperlee The country's seven-day average of new daily cases 78,380, patients in hospitals on Saturday 47,374.More than 9 million confirmed cases, over 230,000 deaths, according to tracking experts can go up to 399,000 deaths by Feb 1.

Cases! Who cares about cases?!?! We need to pay attention to the death count. This ScamdemicIsOver when we demand its over.

The Dempanic has failed. No one but low IQ leftists believe anything coming from FakeNewsMedia. Trump is going to win; you reprobates have failed b

Thank God we have therapuetics, and we know who is vulnerable. So peopke can now make informed decisions about their own personal behavior during this COVID19 outbreak. At this point, careless people can live with their life choices

But Greasy Tweaker Junior said almost no one is affected. He wouldn't lie would he?

🥺😠😤😡

... , tweeted, breathlessly.

Pfffft. So what? Why is this even news anymore? It has a 99%+ survival rate. Who CARES?

Comments here seem to be pointed towards who you vote for. From an unbiased Australian who doesn’t favour a US political party, you are in the hurt locker. You have already rounded that turn but when you did you are heading up a steep mountain! I wish you well!

WAY TO GO DO DONALD TRUMP! Today’s DON DEATH COUNT 235,248 Only one other nation leader IGNORED the daily death of Hundreds of his citizens. He committed suicide before the allies caught him so they could put him on trial for his atrocities.

Good to see so many people are out getting tested. They should be great news.

And, Trump thinks we’re winning.

Many Americans are going to die because of Trump’s ignorance and arrogance.

How many tests? What were the Ct values?

So as I understand it, there are those who want to treat the disease by strangling the patient?

Winning

This is the third day this week that Wisconsin has had over 5,000 new cases per day. It's out of control and the Republican controlled state Congress is trying to remove Gov Evers restrictions and mask mandate.

I called these numbers about 3 months ago in a conversation with my parents, and my other prediction was 750k worldwide by new years eve. Hopefully I overestimated, but...

This happens when nytimes is relied upon to give accurate information

It would be nice to know what the baseline was that the increase is measured against. Also, how many tests are being given, % positive, what the PCR level was.

More BS from NPR. Report on the deaths. Not the cases! DefundNPR

I never thought the day would come that people would believe a business man who went bankrupt 6 times (not counting a nation) over a doctor when it came to disease/infection. A business man who thinks he knows more than doctors bc he was related to one. When you hear it out loud.

How can this man get a second term with such bad results? The bigots can answer this!

Is this article for sympathy? Scare tactic or just show how ignorant people are?

So, ‘rounding the curve’ was...just a lie?

Increased testing? Yes. Waaay lower death rate? Yes. ICUs under control? Yes. STOP THE FEAR MONGERING!

Stop the fear mongering and let the kids be free. The latest CDC estimates of Covid fatality rate by age: 0-19 years: 0.00003 (that’s 0.003%!) 20-49 years: 0.0002 50-69 years: 0.005 70+ years: 0.054

Cases are increasing exponentially in Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, & Austria to name a few. WHO now says that lockdowns are discouraged because they cause so much collateral damage. Contract tracing doesn’t work once the virus is widespread. So what should we do?

How many died? FROM bit WITH?

Seems to be a bit more serious than Republicans want you to believe

“It’s a hoax” —realDonaldTrump TrumpTheSuperSpreader VoteHimOut TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

An ounce of prevention, a pound of cure. A stitch in time saves nine... not a single case in Taiwan for 200 days and counting. Parades and spectator-filled baseball stadia. All because of lockdown compliance. Lockdowns are necessary but they are not forever if we all comply.

Of course we all sick

realDonaldTrump is the DimReaper of death.

Yet the death rate is falling 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great testing, and lots of it, bumps those numbers way up.

'Member back in April, when we joked about the 'second wave' that would inevitably show up just in time for the election...? 🤡🌎

We’re rounding the corner...uh oh..llooks like a tunnel with no discernable light at the end.

How many deaths, clowns?

So, is this the curve our Moron In Chief🤡 told America is coming soon?😷😡🤬

realDonaldTrump How is that 'It will just disappear one day' working out? DumpTrumpDayNov3 TrumpIsALoser

Just say thanks to Alabama's Tommy Tuberville (R) for spreading Trump's inject yourself with bleach philosophy, instead of science, Alabama

Trump borrows a page from Stalin: The Doctors' Plot.

After Trump wins next week, he'll reopen the states. Time to end the scam Trump2020Landslide

So

Bureaucracy group think culture within medical profession just as dangerous as greed. Assessing risks between experimental vaccines side effects or doing nothing costing lives. Doctors see Trump as a threat to their incomes with ACA

😢

Right on target. Days before the election. Scare em silly.

It will be 200,000 cases by the next couple of weeks.

'Just flu'

Hospitalizations are 2 weeks behind spikes this is bad really bad

They probably cooked the books to avoid reaching 100,000!

Now this right here? That's what you call a 'Red Wave'
