The United States suffered the number of coronavirus deaths since mid-May on Wednesday, making it the deadliest day this summer.
There were 1,503 deaths for the Covid Follow-up Project.
COVID-19 deaths are below their April peak, when they peaked until 2000, according to the day in the United States.
But after falling for weeks last spring, the deaths began to increase in early July amid worsening epidemics in the south and west.
The persistent number of deaths in the United States contrasts sharply with other countries that have been more successful in suppressing their outbreaks.
The European Union, whose population exceeds that of the United States by more than one hundred million, had only 115 deaths on Wednesday, according to statistics compiled through Our World in Data.
There have been more than 166,000 deaths in the United States from coronavirus since the onset of the pandemic, the largest number of all countries in the world, according to johns Hopkins University.
Deaths are an indicator of delay, which takes a patient time to expand symptoms and be hospitalized before they die. Some more affected states have surpassed the case mark, but still have the highest rates of COVID-19 deaths.
Florida, for example, recorded a record 277 deaths on Tuesday, but saw new cases begin to decline, according to the Covid Tracking Project.
Former Food and Drug Administration commissioner Scott Gottlieb said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” program that the country could have up to 300,000 deaths until the end of the year.
“We’ll be somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000, and if we’re closer to 200,000 or about 300,000 depends on what we do and how it evolves,” he said.
