New U.S. Coronavirus Cases Hit Highest Level In 2 Months

[floridafan]

BEIJING (AP) — New coronavirus cases in the U.S. have surged to their highest level in two months and are now back to where they were at the peak of the outbreak.

The U.S. on Tuesday reported 34,700 new cases of the virus, according to a tally compiled by Johns Hopkins University that was published Wednesday. There have been only two previous days that the U.S. has reported more cases: April 9 and April 24, when a record 36,400 cases were logged.

New cases in the U.S. have been surging for more than a week after trending down for more than six weeks. While early hot spots like New York and New Jersey have seen cases steadily decrease, the virus has been hitting the south and west. Several states on Tuesday set single-day records, including Arizona, California, Mississippi, Nevada and Texas.

Cases were also surging in other parts of the world. India reported a record daily increase of nearly 16,000 new cases. Mexico, where testing rates have been low, also set a record with more than 6,200 new cases.

But China appears to have tamed a new outbreak of the virus in Beijing, once again demonstrating its ability to quickly mobilize vast resources by testing nearly 2.5 million people in 11 days.

Hello jimmymccready,

Way to go, stupid Americans.

We have been watching the number of Active Cases rise for weeks now.

We had a slight peak on May 30th, and the number of Active Cases dropped off a little bit for a week or so afterwards, but they never feel very much.

Then, shortly after reopening the economy, the numbers began to shoot up again. Where the top is, nobody knows.

Deaths have surpassed 124,000 and continue to rise.

Active Cases have passed 130,000.

Here is a graph of the number of Active Cases, showing the slight peak, followed by the continued rise:

We wanted that curve to swing down at the end, but instead it is going up.
