This is absolutely breathtaking. There were 121,200 new coronavirus cases identified in the United States today alone.
That's more infections than Japan has found over the course of the entire pandemic.

With a daily average of 96,231 new coronavirus cases over the past week, we are identifying a new infection in the United States every 0.9 seconds.
The spread of the coronavirus is so out of control that 1 out of every 100 people in the United States has now tested positive for the virus in *just the past two months*
Covid-19 hospitalizations are following infection numbers upward and have now reached more than 53,000. That's up 77% from a month ago.
My colleague @MitchKSmith says 16 states had single-day case records today. 28 states have added more cases in the last week than in any other period.
Below is a look at some of the state-level trajectories.

Deaths have increased 22 percent over the past two weeks.
It's unclear where we are headed on that front. When case numbers started rising back in mid-June, hospitalizations didn't start rising until about a week later and deaths started rising 2 weeks after that.
