U.S. Hits 9M Coronavirus Cases
The United States logged 9 million Covid-19 cases Thursday just hours after reporting a single-day record of 80,622 infections, the latest NBC News tally showed.
It was the first time the U.S. had crossed the 80,000-case threshold since the start of the pandemic and the third time in a week that a daily case record was broken, the data showed.
The 996 Covid-19 deaths reported Wednesday raised the national death toll to nearly 230,000, the most in the world, according to the Johns Hopkins University Covid-19 dashboard.
