Confirmed Covid-19 Cases See Dramatic Rise Worldwide

As the U.S. continues to see alarming rises of Covid-19 cases, so does the rest of the world. We’re now averaging more than 74,000 new cases daily in another new record high. On top of that, four of the five highest number of reported cases in a single day occurred within the last week. 41 states are reporting dramatic increases in cases compared to the last week, with at least 13 seeing peaks in hospitalizations. The national case count is now at more than 8.8 million with almost 229,000 deaths. Cases are also mounting so quickly in parts of Europe, that France and Germany have once again enacted strict lock downs for at least a month. Most non-essential businesses and travel plans have been banned. In total, there have been almost 45 million confirmed cases with over 1.1 million deaths worldwide. The U.S. is still leading with the most amount of both cases and deaths globally with India trailing close behind.
