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 US death toll from Covid-19 could reach a total of 500,000 by February.

“The good news on the horizon is that vaccines look promising,” Fauci told CNN in an interview. “And hopefully by the time we get to the end of November, the beginning of December, we will have shown that we have at least one or two — and maybe more but at least two — vaccines that are safe and effective.”

On Thursday there were 916 reported fatalities in the US, a day after the country recorded over 1,200 new deaths for the first time since August. North Dakota, with 887 new cases on both Thursday and Friday, remains the hardest-hit state, based on new cases per capita, followed by South Dakota, Montana and Wisconsin, according to a Reuters tally.
