HeadlineDec 07, 2020

The U.S. is heading toward 15 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 as daily cases are averaging close to 200,000. The reported death toll has topped 282,000 with hospitalizations now over 100,000. Experts warn the grim figures don’t yet account for spikes related to Thanksgiving travel. Hospitals and the 911 emergency call system are being stretched to their breaking point as frontline health workers scramble to care for patients.
