The number of Americans hospitalised with coronavirus and the number of new US cases reported rose to record levels for a second day in a row yesterday.
More than 82,000 people were hospitalised, according to the Covid Tracking Project, topping Thursday’s record.
More than 193,000 new cases were reported, according to Johns Hopkins University data — the first time US cases have topped 190,000 in a day.
Over half of the country is now in the “red zone,” Dr Deborah Birx, a White House Coronavirus Task Force member told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta in an exclusive interview, warning that this surge was unlike those in the past.
“When you look at what’s happening now, the rate of rise is dramatically different,” Dr Birx said.
“This is faster. It’s broader. And what worries me, it could be longer.”

As of yesterday, the US was averaging 74,063 current hospitalisations over the last seven days — up 19.13 per cent compared to the previous week.
More than 2,000 American deaths were recorded by Johns Hopkins University on Thursday — the highest number since early May, and by December 18, more than 2,300 Americans could be losing their lives daily, according to the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).
The group now predicts a total of 471,000 American deaths by March 1 — up more than 30,000 since their last projection about a week ago.
In a White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing Thursday, Dr Anthony Fauci urged Americans to “double down” on lifesaving measures as the nation waits for a vaccine to be approved.
In a statement, FDA Commissioner Dr Stephen Hahn acknowledged that “transparency and dialogue are critical for the public to have confidence in COVID-19 vaccines,” and went on to offer assurances that the evaluation would be.
