Last date U.S. had this many new covid cases in 1 day was on Jan. 14, 2021
The highest single day new covid cases total was on Jan. 8,2021 with 300,777
This is only about 69,500 more than Aug. 9, 2021, so we are fast approaching the record high.
The 7 day average is 123,923
Last time the 7 day average was this high was on Feb. 5, 20201
This is all the AntiVax (similar to Antifa) spike.
Stay safe everyone.

(14,120 posts)There are people that don't wear masks, practist Social Distancing and don't get Vaccinated.

(7,153 posts)I think it's because many testing-reading labs, and coroners, don't work on the weekends unless they have to.
Thus the catch-up reporting on Monday for cases, Tuesday-Wednesday for death reports, etc.
Using JHU data, from 0600 to 0600 today, I got 184192 more reported cases and 492 deaths.
Let's see what early tomorrow and the following morning show.

(8,972 posts)that's why I prefer the 7 day average, which is still pretty high.
