U.S. new coronavirus cases increasingly look to have peaked, but Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths continue to rise as they lag behind the surge in confirmed cases. Eight states, including California, Florida and Texas, all hit record-high average daily deaths on Wednesday, according to data from Hopkins. Wall Street will get more pandemic-era economic data Thursday morning, with prints on gross domestic product and weekly jobless claims.
The following data was compiled by Johns Hopkins University:
- Global cases: More than 17 million
- Global deaths: At least 667,600
- U.S. cases: More than 4.4 million
- U.S. deaths: At least 150,700
