U.S. New Daily Covid-19 Cases — 57,236 — Shatters All
Records.
U.S. ‘News’-Media Report Only “55,220 new coronavirus
cases”.
Eric Zuesse
Although the Washington Post claims
that “The United States reported 55,220
new coronavirus cases Thursday” (and other ‘news’-media, such as The Hill, give the same number and don’t even mention that
the Washington Post is their source), that number actually
undercounts the true number by 2,016 cases, and the WP fails
to indicate where and how they obtained their (low-balled) count.
From the start to the end of the day on July 2nd, the United States
recorded 57,236 new cases of the coronavirus-19 disease.
The most authoritative real-time count of confirmed
new cases of coronavirus-19 is at www.worldometers.info/coronavirus, and at the start of the day on July 2nd it showed
for the United States a total of 2,779,953 cases. At the start of the day on July 3rd they
showed 2,837,189. (By mid-day on
July 3rd, their count
included “+423” as “New Cases,” and showed a total of 2,837,612 as the total,
which happens to be exactly 423 more cases than 2,837,189.) So, there can be no
reasonable doubt that the total number of new cases recorded during the 24-hour
period of July 2nd was 57,236, not 55,220 (wherever the WP got
that figure).
In the entire world of 215 countries, there are only
29 countries that have recorded a total number of cases (up till the present) that
exceeds this one-day new-cases total which were recorded in the U.S., which was
the highest one-day total ever recorded for any country. Each of the world’s
other 186 countries has recorded a total number of cases (ever since the start
of the disease) that is less than America recorded on the single day of July
2nd.
Just before the end of that day on July 2nd, these were the U.S. states that added the largest
number of new cases on that day:
Florida:
10,109
California:
9,348
Texas:
