Not looking good, folks!
Months ago, the notion of the United States recording more than 100,000 coronavirus infections in a single day seemed inconceivable. But surging caseloads in nearly every state pushed the tally to a record 104,004 new infections on Wednesday — and it wasn’t even the biggest news story.
