The single-day high for the year was December 5 at 2.3 million. Cumulatively, we've tracked 363 million tests. pic.twitter.com/Doh6Rdpk1p

It's impossible to take in the sweep of the pandemic. But on this day last year, fewer than 20 people were known to have died from COVID-19 in the US. There were only 574 cases. Now, 10 states have seen more than 1 in 500 of their residents killed during the pandemic. pic.twitter.com/8kYBDdt1ty
