Politico: “The United States on Tuesday recorded more than 1,000 daily deaths from the coronavirus for the first time since May, another grim sign the country is struggling to contain the pandemic six months after it emerged in the U.S.”
“The daily death toll from Covid-19 had been falling steadily for months after peaking at over 2,000 in mid-April, but deaths began trending upward again earlier this month as the virus stormed across the South and Southwest.”
“There were 1,029 new deaths reported on Tuesday, according to the Covid Tracking Project. Though the daily death toll fluctuates, and numbers declined over the weekend when reporting typically lags, states last week were regularly recording over 900 new deaths per day.”
