COVID-19 cases spike

The United States suffered several waves of COVID-19 with a total of 989,883 lives lost since early 2020. At the peak of the U.S. epidemic in January 2021, over 3,300 people died on average each day. A total of 80,667,301 cases have been reported, according to a Reuters analysis of state and county data.

The widespread availability of vaccines in the United States helped to reduce cases in the spring and early summer. But the Delta variant led to a renewed spike in cases and hospitalizations nationwide later in the year. In December of 2021, daily COVID-19 cases in the U.S. climbed to record highs due to the fast-spreading Omicron variant.
