US Coronavirus: Health care workers are 'tapped out' amid coronavirus fall surge

As the coronavirus fall surge continues to wreak havoc across the US, health care workers are describing scenes of depleted resources at medical facilities and are reporting they are overwhelmed.

There have been at least 160,000 daily new coronavirus cases in the US, according to Johns Hopkins University data. This is the highest single day reported total since the pandemic began.

The US has added more than half a million new Covid-19 cases since hitting 10 million on Monday, the school said.

At this rate, the number should pass 11 million in the next four days, making for the fastest addition of another million yet, Johns Hopkins data show.

Total cases, as of about 8:30 EST: 11, 064, 364. It hit 10 million last Friday - so it took 7 days to add one million cases.

John's Hopkins' data has been behind the times, by several days, for months.
