U.S. Records Single-Day High of Over 100,000 New COVID-19 Cases.
On Wednesday, the United States recorded at least 107,000 new cases of COVID-19.
It is the new single-day high since the country began recording coronavirus case numbers.
It also makes the U.S. the first country to record over 100,000 COVID-19 cases in a single day.
.
Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted this increase back in June, when daily cases were averaging roughly 42,000.
He warned that numbers would reach 100,000 a day if the pandemic was not properly brought under control.
I would not be surprised if we go up to to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around, and so I am very concerned, Dr. Fauci, via 'The Washington Post'.

Among those states are Colorado, Indiana, Maine, Minnesota and Nebraska, which also set single-day case records on Wednesday.
