CNN: “The first reported case came on January 21. Within 99 days, 1 million Americans became infected.”
“It took just 43 days after that to reach 2 million cases.”
“And 28 days later, the US reached 3 million cases of the novel coronavirus Wednesday.”
“The ferocious speed at which Covid-19 spreads has astounded doctors, with over 131,000 people dying from the disease since January, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.”
“And in 35 states, the rate of new cases keeps increasing — threatening to reverse progress made during weeks of painful shutdowns and stay-at-home orders.”
