The number of COVID-19 infections soared by 31,243 since yesterday’s update to reach 2,219,119 in the United States, Johns Hopkins University’s tally showed on Friday. The daily jump in coronavirus cases surpassed Thursday’s growth by nearly 5,000. Meanwhile, the death toll from the virus stood at 119,086 after 705 fatalities related to the infection were confirmed in the past 24 hours, topping the number of deaths confirmed in the day prior. Earlier today, a report said that White House Coronavirus Task members Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx advised United States President Donald Trump against holding a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday due to risks of the spreading of coronavirus during the event. One hundred thousand coronavirus deaths in the U.S. was the low estimate by year end. That figure, the bottom end of the White House’s best-picture scenario of 100,000 to 240,000 deaths, was reached in late May after the virus spread across the United States. Already, the death toll in the U.S. has eclipsed those of every other country.
