The States across the nation are seeing a surge in cases, hospitalizations and deaths. In some areas, such as Washington state and New York, leaders are re-implementing restrictions and lockdowns to curb the spread.
Meanwhile, the nation recorded its third-highest day of new cases on Saturday with 159,100, raising the 7-day average to more than 145,000, the Times reported. Also, the country is currently averaging over 141,000 new coronavirus cases every day.
The United States, with about 4.3% of the world population, accounts for 20% of global COVID-19 cases that reached 54,273,403 early Sunday evening. Meanwhile, total virus-related deaths in the United States are approaching the quarter-of-a-million mark, or roughly 19% of the global 1.3 million fatalities reported to date, Johns Hopkins reported.
Later, Sky News reported that scientists from the University of Minnesota’s Infectious Diseases Research Center suggested that the Coronavirus epidemic would last for at least two years, and they expected that the virus could not be contained before a third of the world’s population became immunized against infection.
