The US Now Leads The World In COVID-19 Cases
Scientists warned that the US someday would become the country hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. That moment arrived on Thursday.
The US now has more COVID-19 cases than any other country, after over 16,000 COVID-19 infections were reported there in a single day, taking the number of patients in America to over 85,600, as per the Johns Hopkins University data.
America leads with 85,653 COVID-19 cases, followed by China with 81,782 and Italy with 80,589.
According to Worldometer, the website that records confirmed cases of infection and deaths globally, the US by Thursday night had 85,088 individuals infected with COVID-19, of which 16,877 were added just in a single day.
With 330 million residents, the US is the world’s third most populous nation, meaning it provides a vast pool of people who can potentially get the disease caused by the virus.
Globally, a total of 24,057 people have died due to the coronavirus with Italy standing at the top with 8,215 deaths, followed by Spain (4,365) and China (3,169), the varsity figures stated.
Earlier, the number of confirmed cases was 8,000. It has dangerously surged 10 times in the span of a week. At least 1,290 Americans have died due to COVID-19 so far.
Over 2,000 coronavirus cases were reported in a serious condition and no confirmed cases, as well as the deaths due to COVID-19, are likely to increase in the coming days.
