With the exception of 3 days this summer, Wednesday in the United States of more than 1,470 deaths was the highest since last May. Experts say the new national coronavirus database creates disruptions for hospitals.
Officials across the United States reported more than 1,470 deaths Wednesday, the day in general in August, according to a New York Times database, and a picture of the number of victims of the early summer outbreak in the Sun Belt states.
With the exception of 3 days this summer, the total death toll on Wednesday is the highest in the country since last May. The figure is higher in each of the 3 days because only one state, New Jersey on the first day, followed by New York and Texas, reported a large number of deaths waiting for undetermined days.
Over the more than two weeks, the country has recorded an average of more than 1,000 deaths depending on the day, more than double that of early July. Tuesday’s death toll of 1,450 was also the highest since beyond May, excluding 3 summer days.
The deaths reported Wednesday were mainly concentrated in the Sun Belt states, which experienced peak peaks in the June and July cases. Although the number of cases has begun to decline in some of these places, deaths have remained constantly high. More than three hundred deaths were announced in Texas and more than two hundred in Florida on Wednesday. Arizona, California and Georgia have reported more than a hundred each.
However, the total death toll on Wednesday remained well below the April peak, when more than 2,000 people died from the virus over several days.
The uptick in deaths has been feared since the beginning of summer: because some other people do not die until weeks after contracting the virus, more reports of deaths may remain the best even after new cases begin to decline.
