The U.S. recorded over 250,000 cases in a day for the first time Friday. Nearly one in 200 people in the U.S. was diagnosed with COVID-19 in the last week, though the actual number of infected people is likely much higher. In Tennessee, which now has the highest number of new cases relative to its population, nearly one of every 100 residents tested positive within the last week. Republican Governor Bill Lee is still refusing to issue a mask mandate. In Los Angeles, hospitals are making plans for rationing care if the surge continues apace in the coming weeks.
