• As of Sunday night, there are now 337,620 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States (a 37.7 percent increase from Thursday night) and 9,643 deaths (a 61.2 percent increase from Thursday night), according to the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 Dashboard, leading to a mortality rate among confirmed cases of 2.9 percent (the true mortality rate is difficult to calculate due to incomplete testing regimens).
