US coronavirus again hits over 100,000 daily new cases as Joe Biden preps his coronavirus task force

CNN  

CNN — While the United States has largely been focused on the slow drip of the presidential election results this week, the Covid-19 pandemic reached startling new heights in the country. “You have to be really worried what January is going to look like, what December is going to look like right now, given the way this is rising.” Officials look to Biden for renewed Covid-19 response Biden’s task force will be headed by three co-chairs, including former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. David Kessler and Yale University’s Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, said he expected Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to “lead a strong and science-based approach to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and rebuilding our economy and addressing the hardship faced by millions.” Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia highlighted the infections, deaths and unemployment that have occurred as a result of Covid-19, writing on Twitter, “The first order of businesses needs to be getting under control & passing a relief package for the American people.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau underscored the importance of his country’s partnership with the US. In a news release Friday, Colorado health officials said the newest Covid-19 model indicates state hospitalizations are increasing more sharply than last week’s projections. “If the epidemic curve is not bent, Colorado could surpass intensive care unit capacity in late December instead of January as reported in last week’s modeling report.” In Ohio, the governor said Friday the state saw 5,008 new infections, the highest number of cases recorded in a 24-hour period.
