On the six month anniversary of the first case of coronavirus being diagnosed in the United States, the nation recorded 62,879 new cases of the virus, with 545 fatalities reported, according to worldometers.info.
The US ranks tenth in the world for case fatalities per capita, and eighth if you only count countries with more than one million in population.
Florida led the nation with more than 10,000 new cases, while Texas recorded the most fatalities from COVID.
The only positive was that the United States broke its streak of 40 straight days of having its 7-day running average of new reported cases increase. The 7-day running average sits at 68,263, still the highest in the world.
