The U.S. reported over 75,600 COVID-19 cases on Thursday alone, marking a new daily record as cases continue to surge across the country.

The grim milestone marks the 11th time in the last month that the U.S. has broken this single-day record, according to The New York Times. The prior record for daily recorded cases was set last Friday at 68,241 cases.

Fatalities amid the coronavirus pandemic also reached new highs this week.

Florida reported 156 new fatalities on Thursday, its highest record since the pandemic began in March. The new deaths bring the state’s total to at least 4,677 related to COVID-19.

1. I'm guessing those signs are being put up not

as a prank but as a statement by a (or multiple) COVID denier(s).

2. I don't believe that number is accurate.

There was a data correction yesterday, which made the process of subtracting yesterday's total from today's total give an incorrect total. The number I have for yesterday is 73,388 - after correcting Wednesday's total to reflect added cases from sometime in March to the present, it was about 75,XXX.
