NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. has hit a record number of coronavirus hospitalizations and surpassed 1 million new confirmed cases in just the first 10 days of November.
The grim milestones Tuesday come amid a nationwide surge of infections that shows no signs of slowing.
The new wave appears bigger and more widespread than the surges that happened in the spring and summer — and threatens to be worse.
Deaths are climbing again, reaching an average of more than 930 a day.
However, experts say medical and testing advances give them reason to believe the nation is better able to deal with the virus this time.
