The U.S. is currently averaging 776,891 new cases and 1,796 deaths per day.
The long-term implications are still unclear, with much unknown about “long-haulers,” or those who had COVID-19 and then experience persistent, recurring or reappearing symptoms four or more weeks after first being infected.
