The three most-populous states in the US are reporting record increases in new coronavirus cases as concerning trends in the pandemic have emerged across the country.
California, Texas and Florida all set records for the number of new cases in one day. Nationally, 34,720 new cases were reported Tuesday in the US -- the third-highest number of new cases reported in one day since the beginning of the pandemic, based on a data archive kept by Johns Hopkins University. The two days with more cases were both in April.
Those three states account for 27.4% of the 328 million people living in the US, according to the latest US Census Bureau estimates. Read More

Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming are seeing an uptick in COVID-19 cases in comparison to the previous week. As of today Kentucky has 229 new cases and one death, bringing the total number of cases in the Commonwealth up to 14,363. This comes less than a week before residents of Kentucky can gather in groups of 50 people and bars and taverns can serve customers on the premises. Governor Andy Beshear is urging Kentuckians to wear face masks and to follow the rules. This morning the Calloway County Health Department announced two new COVID-19 cases. These two cases bring the total number of cases in the county up to 69. The surge in cases highlights the dangers of ill-considered reopenings, COVID-19 denialism, and widespread indifference to the health and safety of others that has come to characterize the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
