Coronavirus update: COVID-19 case tally hits single-day high in U.S.
The number of U.S. cases of COVID-19 edged closer to 3 million on Wednesday, and intensive-care units in Florida were filling up, as the U.S. counted a record number of new cases of the deadly illness in a single day, in the latest sign that the virus is far from contained.
A group of U.K. neurologists on Wednesday published details of more than 40 COVID-19 patients who suffered complications from the illness that included brain damage, including brain inflammation, delirium/psychosis and stroke. The news that the U.S. has informed the World Health Organization of its decision to leave the agency next year drew widespread criticism, coming in the midst of the pandemic. Joe Biden, President Donald Trump’s Democratic challenger in the November presidential race, said he would return the U.S. to the international body if elected.“Americans are safer when America is engaged in strengthening global health,” Biden tweeted.
