The number of coronavirus cases continues to rise at an alarming rate. The New York Times reports:
At least 2,607 new coronavirus deaths and 184,174 new cases were reported in the United States on Dec. 1. Over the past week, there has been an average of 161,228 cases per day, an increase of 2 percent from the average two weeks earlier.
The Times reports that as of this morning almost 14 million people have come down with coronavirus in the U.S. and more than 270,000 have died.
Now CDC Director Robert Redfield claims that things are going to get much worse over the next three months. This is a quote that should raise red flags and cause people to reassess large gatherings and holiday travel plans.
