Covid-19 deaths: US sees highest Covid-19 toll in months as deaths top a quarter of a million

CNN  

CNN — The United States saw the highest Covid-19 daily death toll in more than six months Tuesday, with at least 1,707 fatalities, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. “The horrible death count that we saw yesterday in the United States … reflects the number of people who were being infected three weeks ago – two to three weeks ago, because that’s the lag,” Reiner said Wednesday. Asa Hutchinson said that at his state’s current rate, “1,000 Arkansans could die of Covid-19 between now and Christmas.” Texas officials have deployed two mobile refrigerator trucks to Amarillo to handle the rise in fatalities. “But there’s been resolve about the fact that the game plan, so often, has worked of sticking to those tough standards.” “And that’s why I’m resolved about the fact that to bring schools back, we can do it – we’ve done it before, we’ll do it again – but we have to come up with even tougher standards.” Other school districts around the country have made the same decision recently, and Wednesday, the governor of Kentucky announced that all K-12 students in the state will be returning to remote learning starting Monday. “If these two vaccines do get approval, emergency use authorization, there will be about 40 million doses ready to be delivered in December,” he said.
