The number of COVID-19 cases in the United States surpassed the 2 million mark Wednesday to reach 2,000,464 as of 11:33 p.m. local time (0333 GMT Thursday), according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University.
Meanwhile, the national death toll from the disease rose to 112,924, according to the CSSE.
New York state remains the hardest-hit with 380,156 cases and 30,542 fatalities. Other states with over 100,000 cases include New Jersey, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts, the CSSE data showed.
According to The Washington Post, since the start of June, more than a dozen U.S. states, including Texas and California, have recorded their highest-ever seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases, partly caused by the protests against police brutality that have swept the country in the past two weeks.

That’s America ///
Keep watching this space as the numbers are AGAIN an up-ward trend.
The outset of this novel coronavirus pandemic in America, the incompetent Management & Control of it, in a population of 331 million human beings, has been deplorable.
This has been evidenced to the World, by there 45th elected President – Donald. J. Trump – total lack of comprehension and acceptance of the impact this novel coronavirus pandemic could and has inflicted into the United States of America, there lifestyle and there economy.
The infamous President Donald. J. Trump – will be disgraced from office this coming November, with his major legacy being, deaths in excess of 200 thousand fellow Americans, from the pivotal role and position he occupied and played as The President of the United States of America.
Trump has continually displayed that he is un-qualified – un-educated to be in the position that he currently holds.
Trump was not Americas first choice to be there 45th President, not winning number of votes for his election as there 45th President, but America, there decrepit worn out neglected corrupt and ruined Political voting system, appointed Trump, over the peoples voted in number choice – Hilary Clinton.
Trump will be disgraced from office with America in a recession, continual rising un-employment numbers, the racial divide explosion, that he infested and reignited to catastrophic proportions, and the novel coronavirus pandemic, still rampant inside the 50 states of 331 million human beings of the American population.
It would not surprise me, to see the social divide of America at it’s widest gap in it’s history before Trump is voted out of office.
The ramifications will exceed those that America and the World experienced back in the 1930’s through the Great Depression.
President Donald. J. Trump – ignorance inability to LISEN and Respect, those of education and knowledge in the handling and management of this novel coronavirus, is a trail of human misery and Degradation.
The dismissive arrogance, the infamous President of the United States, has continually displayed to-wards the opinions from Medical Science, astound me.
Trump – the perilous position he has directed and led America into at present, this abyss situation, what the immediate future holds for his country, that will be interesting and entertaining to observe and follow.
The world is watching America possible the closest from all perspectives, since the end of World War 11.
Trump, he has certainly failed dismally in building foreign global relationships instead setting confrontational agendas, that are focused on the divide and rule principles, that certainly have backfired on him and America.
America is and will continue to pay heavily for it’s ERROR appointing Donald. J. Trump as there 45th President.
Trump will leave behind a country in – SHAMBLES – split and divided, and financial decimated, which he designed and orchestrated and will be his legacy, when he is voted out of there office as there President.
America – when will it learn, paying attention to History or words of advice like a quote of Winston. Spencer. Churchill :
” The farther backward you can look,
the farther forward you can see”
Challenging and Interesting times currently for America which will be engrossing to watch and what direction they the 331 million of them, see as there FUTURE.
The number of US cases of a worldwide Pandemic are high. Attempts to blame Trump or any member of the US government is misdirected. The US has a large population, comprised mostly of US born citizens. A look at history of the populace, to me, the answer to the issue is simple. Americans do not like being told what to do, what to think or how to “behave” in any circumstance, by outside countries, much less their own government. That the populace “obeyed” for as long as it has is amazing. Trump, nor Congress, have a great deal of control over US citizens. Cooperation by American citizens is voluntary for the most part.
