The United States on Thursday posted the greatest number of reported COVID-19 infections since the pandemic began. According to the Covid Tracking Project, there were 88,452 reported cases, more than ever recorded in a single day in the U.S. and a 24% increase from the previous week’s numbers. The seven-day average for reported infections is 76,302 per day, the Covid Tracking Project reports, with 46,095 Americans currently hospitalized with the coronavirus, and 1,049 deaths reported Thursday.
The news comes as the number of total COVID-19 infections in the U.S. nears nine million, with at least 8,947,862 reported cases as of Thursday morning, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. That number remains more than in any other country and accounts for just under 20% of global infections. To put those numbers into perspective, the U.S. didn’t surpass 500,000 reported cases until early April, nearly three months after the country reported its first confirmed COVID-19 case.
