COVID cases in the United States have surpassed 66 million. According to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine there have been 66,326,161 COVID-19 cases in the United States resulting in 851,661 deaths representing a mortality rate of 1.3%.
Yesterday, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned the "next few weeks will be tough". Although Omicron appears to have peaked in the Northeast this is not the case for much of the country and this shall further strain hospitals which have already seen in excess of 150,000 Americans currently hospitalized for COVID. In all, the U.S. currently averaging 782,000 new COVID cases a day.
If Dr. Murthy is right (and there is no reason to doubt him) how long will it be before America reaches 100 million COVID cases? With today being Martin Luther King, Jr. Day could we get to that figure by President's Day?
