The new-case growth isn't just regional. Pretty much every state has a case trajectory that is pointing skyward, although some states are further along than others.

It’s so hard for me to wrap my head around just how dire our coronavirus situation is right now.

139,855 new U.S. cases yesterday. Another record. The spread is totally out of control.

Here are some ways to put these kind of numbers in perspective:

1/

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
139,855 new cases in a single day is more than many countries have discovered/reported over the entirety of the pandemic:

• Japan: 110,852
• Nigeria: 64,336
• Greece: 60,570
• South Korea: 27,799
• Australia: 27,671

2/

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
With a rolling average of 123,315 new U.S. cases per day, the virus is all around us:

• 1 out of every 2,364 people were identified as positive yesterday alone
• Over the past week, it was 1 out of every 382 U.S. residents
• In North Dakota, it was 1 out of 83 in one week

I’m monitoring the events unfolding around the country right now. Separate from all the celebrations, groups of Trump supporters have descended on state capitols, many carrying guns.

It appears groups like the Proud Boys are not, uh, standing by.

In Harrisburg, Pa., police stepped in to keep a crowd of Trump supporters — many with long guns — separated from Biden supporters.
Police have also intervened in Salem, Ore. after a person wearing Proud Boys gear pepper-sprayed someone:

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.

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
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*

"The Vote is Over. The Fight Goes On."

Hundreds of protesters in Portland are back on the streets tonight.
The chants are focused on racial justice and against police brutality.
The crowd has stopped at the waterfront and joined with a "Count Every Vote" demonstration.

Hundreds of protesters have started marching in Portland.

"Who's got the power? We've got the power."
I've talked to a bunch of folks in the crowd. The most common sentiment is that they want Biden to win but also don't see him as a champion of the fundamental reforms they are seeking. They expect protests to continue no matter who is president.
