The spike to 84,218 cases, breaking the record of 77,299 set on July 16, comes as University of Washington researchers forecast that the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 could reach a total of 500,000 by February.
The latest estimate by the widely cited University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation also reflects fears that cold winter weather will drive Americans indoors, where the virus is more likely to spread.

THE NUMBER OF POSITIVE CASES DOES NOT EQUAL SYMPTOMATIC CASES. Even Mortality rate should be questioned, because people who died of MI but tested positive for COVID-while being asymptomatic for COVID, HAVE STILL BEEN COUNTED AS COVID DEATHS. We would all test positive for FLU!
Cases cases cases! How about talking about what therapies are available. How people are living through this. How to buildyou immune system. How those with higher vitamin d do better
But the numbers are not nearly as bad as Europe's!
I thought Trump said things are getting better.... turning the corner. I guess it’s a bit like Halloween around the corner... a scary nightmare.
Goodness me.
