This Morning's numbers are spooky... 3,157 Covid-19 deaths were reported for Wednesday in the US -- an all-time high for the pandemic -- and health care systems are struggling to support the weight of worsening impacts.
KEY POINTS From The CDC
- The next few months of the Covid-19 pandemic will be among “the most difficult in the public health history of this nation,” Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, said.
- Redfield, speaking at an event hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that about 90% of hospitals in the country are in “hot zones and the red zones.”
- He added that 90% of long-term care facilities are in areas with high level of spread.
