The US passes 370,000 COVID deaths with 24,000 deaths and two million new cases in just nine days

The United States has surpassed 370,000 coronavirus deaths with more than 24,000 Americans dying from COVID-19 in the first nine days of 2021.

A total of 370,119 people have died since the outbreak began in the U.S. after 1,346 new deaths were reported as they were Saturday afternoon, according to Johns Hopkins University.

A further 115,409 new infections have been registered nationwide to date, bringing the national average to 21,978,182.

The latest numbers are a sad sign of an increase after a holiday like 24,260 deaths and 2,003,618 new cases have been reported since January 1st.

This week alone, 16 states reported the highest number of COVID-19 hospitals and California experienced their deadliest day.

The state reported 695 new deaths on Saturday, a day after Los Angeles reported the highest daily death toll of 318.

There were more than 52,000 new infections in California as of Saturday afternoon, according to the health department.

Hospitals in the state are still struggling with an increase in virus patients and doctors fear the worst spike after holidays is yet to come.

‘It will take two or three weeks for patients to be sick enough to need hospitalization after they have contracted the virus, and Christmas was only two weeks ago, and we are already full,’ he said. Dr. Anish Mahajan, chief medical officer at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, told CNN.

Records were again set Friday for the seven-day average for cases, hospitals, and deaths in the U.S. with deaths averaging 2,934.

Of the 310,080 new cases reported Friday, 50,000 were in California and 20,000 in New Jersey, according to the COVID Administration Project.

Friday’s rise in cases means 44 states have reported at least 500 cases of COVID-19 per million people.

New Jersey had another spike on Friday, and they have recorded 2,694 diseases per million of the population.

It is followed by Kansas with 1,889 cases per million people and Arizona with 1,602 diseases per million people.

Arizona has also surpassed the summer surge in hospitals with patients going up at an alarming rate.

On Wednesday, Arizona health experts declared it the new global coronavirus hot spot as the state’s revolution began another reversal for the worst in Arizona.

The state now leads the country with the highest COVID-19 diagnostic rating.

As of December 31, the virus has been diagnosed by one in 111 Arizonans.

The rise of new cases came on Friday when Dr. Deborah Birx warned that the U.S. could have its own mutant form of COVID-19, in the same way Britain does, as the virus spreads so soon.

Birx, who announced before Christmas that she would be retiring when Joe Biden takes office, after he was left red for avoiding COVID instructions during the holidays, made the analysis at a recent meeting of the White House coronavirus action group.

She displayed a series of graphs and charts, officials have said, that showed a big spike in issues.

Birx was speculating that this could be due to the spread of a new, more infectious version of the virus – in the same way that Britain was shattered by the new B.1.1.7 mast.

Her concerns fueled the weekly report submitted to state regulators, which was released on Friday.

‘This fall / winter increase has been at almost double the rate of increase as spring and summer rise,’ the report said.

This acceleration suggests that there may be a diversity of U.S. that has emerged here, as well as the UK diversity that is already spreading in our communities and could be 50% more portable.

Aggressive mitigation must be used to match a more aggressive virus. ‘

Nationwide, more than 21.8 million Americans have been infected with coronavirus since the outbreak of the pandemic and 368,679.
