California and Texas are among the states setting new daily records.
California saw new high rates in both coronavirus deaths and the total number of confirmed cases on Wednesday, as a disturbing data surfaced across the United States and more than 1,100 deaths were reported for the second consecutive day.
Missouri, North Dakota, and West Virginia recorded their highest daily case numbers on Wednesday, while Alabama, Idaho, and Texas reported daily death records, according to a New York Times database.
The U.S. recorded, 69,707 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, bringing the total confirmed cases in the United States to be above 4 million on Thursday.
About 59,628 people were being treated at hospitals on Wednesday, according to the COVID Tracking Project. That number is close to the peak of 59,940 on April 15, when the center of the outbreak was New York. Experts have warned that the data likely undercounts both cases and deaths.
Some people, including the U.S. President Trump, has said that more testing explains the increase in the number of cases, but The Times has found that the recent rise in cases far outpaces a rise in testing.
After warning on Tuesday the virus would get “worse before it gets better,” Mr. Trump shifted back on Wednesday to say that virus testing was “overrated” and “makes us look bad.” He accused Democrats of sounding the alarm over the virus for political reasons.
“Watch,” Mr. Trump said, “on Nov. 4, everything will open up.”
The 1,130 deaths announced on Wednesday across the United States were the highest single-day death total since May 29, with the exception of two anomalous days in June when large numbers of deaths from unknown dates were reported.
In Texas, which recorded 201 deaths on Wednesday, a steady climb in daily death tolls has matched a similar increase in reported cases.

And Louisiana, which is in the midst of its second case surge of the pandemic, surpassed New York as the state with the most known cases per capita in the country, though testing was scarce when cases peaked in New York this spring.
