The United States passed nine million reported coronavirus cases on Friday, according to a tally from Johns Hopkins University, as infections spike days before the nation chooses its next president.<\/p>\n

The country, which has seen a resurgence of its COVID-19 outbreak since mid-October, has now charted 9,007,298 cases, according to a real-time count by the Baltimore-based school. <\/p>\n

More than 229,000 people have died of the virus in the US since the pandemic began, the Hopkins tally showed as of Friday afternoon. <\/p>\n

The virus is currently spreading most rampantly in the Midwest and on Thursday the US set a record for new daily infections of more than 91,000 in 24 hours.<\/p>\n

But New York and other parts of the northeast are also seeing a worrying rise in infections as cooler fall weather sets in. <\/p>\n

With four days to go until the election, Donald Trump is battling to hold on to the White House against challenger Joe Biden, who has slammed the president’s virus response.<\/p>\n

Trump downplays the virus even as the toll has been accelerating once more, holding a slew of rallies with little social<\/a> distancing or mask use.<\/p>\n

He has repeatedly told supporters that the country is “rounding the curve” on COVID infections.\n <\/p>\n\n
