Daily COVID-19 fatalities hit an all-time high in the United States
The United States continues to grapple with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with over 15.3 million people having been infected and over 289,000 deaths reported as of mid-August 2025. This is according to data obtained from Johns Hopkins University, contrary to a previous report suggesting the data was from "MIR 24."
Over 5.89 million people in the U.S. have recovered from COVID-19, indicating a higher number of recoveries compared to the number of deaths. However, the data does not specify a particular date.
The U.S. is currently registering over 200,000 new COVID-19 cases daily on average, a significant figure that outnumbers the deaths. On December 9, 2020, the United States recorded 3,054 COVID-19 deaths, the highest number since the pandemic began, shattering the previous record set on May 7, 2020, with 2,769 coronavirus deaths reported.
The data also indicates a high number of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the United States. As of the current date, over 106,000 patients are hospitalized with COVID-19.
On a global scale, COVID-19 continues to cause new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, albeit at lower numbers compared to peak pandemic periods. The global case count of COVID-19 has surpassed 67 million.
The latest data shows that in the 28-day period ending 27 July 2025, 846 new COVID-19 deaths were reported across 41 countries, showing a decrease compared to the previous 28 days. The majority of recent deaths with age information occurred in people aged 65 and older.
In the same recent 28-day period, there were 5,184 new hospitalizations and 171 new ICU admissions from COVID-19 reported across 36 and 32 countries respectively.
It's important to note that the true death toll from COVID-19 may be significantly higher than the officially reported figures due to testing and reporting challenges. Estimates suggest the true death toll may range from 18.2 million to 33.5 million people worldwide.
In summary, COVID-19 continues to pose a significant threat, particularly to elderly populations, with ongoing transmission in many parts of the world. The U.S., in particular, is experiencing a high number of new cases and hospitalizations, underscoring the need for continued vigilance and public health measures.
- The rise in COVID-19 cases and related medical-conditions emphasizes the importance of ongoing scientific research in developing effective health-and-wellness strategies for this global pandemic.
- Beyond the United States, politics and general-news outlets worldwide are closely monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 situation, with a focus on understanding its impact on various regions, especially elderly populations.
- As the world navigates the challenges posed by COVID-19, the continued success in recoveries from the disease is crucial for maintaining an accurate understanding of the global medical-conditions and health-and-wellness landscape, as well as planning for future health-policy developments.
