The United States recorded more than 75,000 new coronavirus cases Wednesday and nearly 1,000 deaths from COVID-19. Hospitalizations continue to rise in many states, led by Michigan, even though 124 million U.S. residents are at least partially vaccinated.
On Wednesday, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel delayed its decision on whether to resume use of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine after reports of extremely rare blood clots in seven women and one man who received doses. It’s not yet known if the vaccine caused the rare condition.
