Novel coronavirus deaths in the U.S. have spiked in recent weeks, surpassing 152,000, including over 1,400 new deaths reported Thursday.
The latest U.S. daily death toll on July 30 was 1,465, according to data compiled by Worldometer. That means one American died nearly every 60 seconds (about every 58.9 seconds) on Thursday.
The country reported 7,404 total new deaths in the past week from July 24 to 30. That marks a more than 16.5 percent spike from the 6,352 total new fatalities recorded over the previous week from July 17 to 23.
The country's seven-day rolling average of daily new deaths rose consistently on a sharper incline from July 6, just after the Fourth of July holiday.
The daily death toll mostly declined from early May through late June, with several peaks in between, before mostly increasing throughout July.
As of Thursday, the U.S. ranks fourth for most deaths per 100,000 people among the top 20 countries most affected by the outbreak, outranked by the U.K. in first place, followed by Peru and Chile, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
The country ranks 10th worldwide for most deaths per 100,000 people among all countries with confirmed cases, outranked by several European nations including Spain, Italy, the U.K., Belgium and Sweden, as well as Peru and Chile, according to the latest report Thursday by Johns Hopkins University.
The states with the largest number of fatalities to date include New York, which has seen 32,683 deaths, followed by New Jersey (15,809 deaths), California (9,026 deaths), Massachusetts (8,850 deaths) and Illinois (7,670 deaths) in the top five states with the highest death tolls, as of Friday, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Florida and Texas, both of which have seen recent spikes in new cases, also rank among the top 10 states with the most COVID-19 deaths, each reporting around 6,500 confirmed deaths to date.
On Wednesday, Texas reported a record daily death count of 313, which is more than the nearly 300 total combined deaths reported following Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Ike and Hurricane Rita.

New infections continue to soar across the nation. The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases rose on a sharper incline from mid-June through July 26 before starting to slightly decline after then.
The country's latest daily case count was reported to be 68,569 on July 30, which means nearly 48 people were infected every 60 seconds on Wednesday, according to Worldometer.
The graphic below, provided by Statista, illustrates U.S. states with more than 100 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the past week.
More than 17.3 million people across the globe have been infected since the virus was first reported in Wuhan, China, including over 4.4 million in the U.S. Over 10.1 million globally have reportedly recovered from infection, while over 673,400 have died, as of Friday, according to the latest figures from Johns Hopkins University.

At this moment, our nation is rightly focused on how to keep our nation?s people safe from COVID-19. That challenge will require ingenuity and leadership at the state and local level, but it will also require comprehensive and decisive action at the federal level. Understanding Congress?s proper role, and the constitutional support for the exercise of that role, is critical for the health of our nation?s residents. And it is critical for the health of our republic, as well.

Fortunately, the Constitution creates a federal government with the power to address national problems with national solutions. After all, the failure of the Articles of Confederation, which did not provide for a strong central government, served as the backdrop for the Framers? gathering in Philadelphia to craft our Constitution. Delegates to the Constitutional Convention adopted Resolution VI, which envisioned a Congress with the power ?to legislate in all Cases for the general Interests of the Union, and also in those to which the States are separately incompetent, or in which the Harmony of the United States may be interrupted by the Exercise of individual legislation.? This resolution served as an instruction to the Committee of Detail that was charged with drafting our Constitution?s Article I, which provides for congressional powers.
While the Framers might not have been able to envision any particular national crisis facing our nation in 2020, it is clear that they envisioned a Congress that might have to address a state problem that had effects that spilled over into other states, and a Congress that would have to step in when facing a situation in which states, acting alone, might never be able to address the problem. Health care fits both scenarios, even if we often fail to properly appreciate that until faced with an infectious disease crisis like COVID-19. Put another way, the doubts of Chief Justice Roberts find support neither in the reality of health care delivery nor in the text, history, and values of our Constitution.

US reports more than 25,000 COVID-19 deaths in July

The U.S. reported more than 25,000 deaths in July related to the novel coronavirus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, a grim milestone for the country as it seeks to stem a rising number of cases.
The country saw 1.87 million new cases of the virus last month ? an increase of nearly 70 percent ? bringing the total number of cases during the pandemic to just over 4.5 million.
More than 150,000 people in the U.S. have died due to the virus, according to Johns Hopkins.
Several states in particular ? Florida, California and Texas ? saw massive jumps in their number of cases in July, as governors across the country pulled back from reopening plans or implemented new restrictions.
The Sunshine State saw more than 310,000 new cases in July, while Texas and California both had more than 260,000 new infections, according to a tally from Reuters.
CDC predicting 180,000 US deaths from coronavirus by August 22: report
Coronavirus data no longer going through CDC contains errors,...
The wire service found that cases more than doubled in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.
In mid-July, the U.S. shattered global daily records, reporting over 77,000 new cases on July 16.
On Thursday, the federal government reported that the country's GDP has shrunk by an adjusted annualized rate of 32.9 in the second quarter, the largest single-quarter drop in economic growth since the federal government has been reporting quarterly data.

After Plummeting, the Virus Soars Back in the Midwest
States like Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin are riding a frustrating seesaw during the pandemic, with new coronavirus cases rising again after apparent progress.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/01/...tion=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage
?We?re at a danger point,? Mr. Pritzker said in Peoria County, where the total number of cases has doubled in the last month.
Gone is any sense that the country may soon get a hold of the pandemic. Instead, the seven-day average for new infections hovered around 65,000 for two weeks. Progress in some states has been mostly offset by growing outbreaks in parts of the South and the Midwest.

I'm at the point where I just want the morons to get their way. Just fucking open everything and let's all get sick. Grandma and Grampa can go take a dirt nap, but you'll get your college football.
Who is being shut down other than quacks talking about getting infected by alien sperm and demon sperm?
