Health officials projected
the Covid-19 surge in the fall would be brutal.
November alone proved those predictions true, with about a thirdof the nation’s total cases reported in just 30 days.
Hospitalizations more than doubled since the beginning of November, and the United States saw more Covid-19 deaths last month than the pandemic’s combined death toll in Australia, Canada, China, Japan and Germany, according to
data from Johns Hopkins University.
The grim numbers have unleashed devastation across the country:
Trailers are turned into morgues and facilities are being converted to emergency hospitals to help respond to the surging number of patients. And across the United States, governors in at least half of all states
announced statewide measures in hopes of slowing the spread of Covid-19.
But the numbers will likely get much worse
before a possible vaccine begins to offer some relief in the spring. Experts say the daily death toll will double in the coming days, while infections will likely see another surge in a few weeks,
fueled by Thanksgiving travel and gatherings.
Here’s just how bad November was:
51 deaths every hour
More than 36,900 Americans died of Covid-19 last month. In comparison, the flu killed about 22,000 Americans during the 2019-2020 season, according
to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In November, the United States averaged about 1,231 Covid-19 deaths every day – about 51 people every single hour.
