U.S. Reportedly Surpasses 3 Million Cases of Coronavirus

Update 07/10/2020 2:08pm:

According to reports, the United States has passed three million cases of people that have coronavirus.

Johns Hopkins University noted that three million people have tested positive for COVID-19, and the U.S. reportedly broke the record for most new cases reported in one day. Along with that, more than 131,000 deaths have been reported.

This comes after news of the White House pushing to re-open schools in the fall, despite the botched response to the pandemic. VP Mike Pence spoke on the administration's response to the pandemic, saying, “The president said today we just don't want the guidance to be too tough. That's the reason why, next week, CDC is going to be issuing a new set of tools, five different documents that will be giving even more clarity on the guidance going forward."

After Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, coronavirus numbers reportedly spiked, with a Tulsa City County Health Department Director saying “In the past few days, we've seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots.” Stay tuned for more details.

The spread of the coronavirus has been a worldwide situation, but now news has surfaced, noting the United States has over one million reported cases of COVID-19.

The news derives from data gathered by Johns Hopkins University, and it was also noted that the number of deaths related to COVID-19 in the United States reached 57,000 on Tuesday, according to the CDC. The CDC also said the true death rate from the coronavirus is still in the air due to limited testing. However, they said the rate of spreading with COVID-19 is higher than the flu. The CDC estimates that between 9 million and 45 million people are infected by the flu in the United States every year.

This news arrives right after various states in America have been re-opening after being given the green light by the Trump Administration. Stay tuned for more details in this situation.
