WASHINGTON – The US on Thursday surpassed four million coronavirus
cases as the number of cases spiked, according to a running tally compiled by
Johns Hopkins University.
In all, the Maryland-based university recorded 4,007,859 positive
tests, and 143,846 Covid-19-related deaths. It reported 1,210,849 recoveries.
The US remains the country hardest-hit by the pandemic with the highest
number of cases and deaths recorded worldwide.
US President Donald Trump acknowledged Tuesday that the situation will
likely "get worse before it gets better."
“We are in the process of developing a strategy that’s going to be
very, very powerful,” he said without elaborating as the US is five months into
the outbreak.
Cases have been flaring in California, Texas, and Florida.
California surpassed New York, the original epicenter of the US
outbreak, Wednesday for the highest number of confirmed cases. The state,
America's most populous, has 421,857 confirmed cases after adding over 12,000
on Thursday. (Anadolu)
