US coronavirus cases pass 10 million after 60% surge in two weeks

mirror.co.uk:

The US has confirmed that its coronavirus cases have surpassed 10 million after daily infections surged more than 60% over two weeks.

The news was announced tonight by John Hopkins University, as President-Elect Joe Biden revealed he was forming a new coronavirus taskforce and urged all Americans to not politicise the pandemic.

As the nation passes the grim milestone tonight and cases continue to surge in nearly every state, there was a clear sign from Biden that he is well aware that it will be the biggest challenge facing him when he takes office in January.

America has the worst death toll of any nation in the world, with close to 250,000 among the dead. For comparison, the suffered losses of 58,220 men and women in the Vietnam War.
