- The pace of coronavirus deaths in the US has gotten so bad that nine states have hit a scary milestone.
- In states like South Dakota, they've recorded at least one COVID-19 death for every 1,000 residents of the state.
- As the week began, the US was closing in on almost 13.5 million coronavirus infections since the start of the pandemic, portending many more deaths to come.
For yet another example of how bad the coronavirus pandemic is getting in the US, consider this statistic: A whopping 21 states on Sunday hit a record high in terms of COVID-19-related hospitalizations.
The states include, according to a new CNBC report, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. What's so worrisome about this trend, of course, is the fact that cases lead to hospitalizations -- and, when hospitalizations are hitting a record high, it follows that a surge in coronavirus deaths is also around the corner.
