Johns Hopkins University reported 57,420 new positive cases of coronavirus in the United States on Friday. That is the largest number of reported cases in a single day since Aug. 14. Friday’s surge of cases marks the third consecutive day of 50,000+ reported cases in the U.S., Johns Hopkins says. The last time the U.S. reported three consecutive days of more than 50,000 cases was also in mid-August. Now Florida, which over the summer became the country’s hotspot, is “ripe for another large outbreak,” an infectious disease expert told CNN. Late last month, the state cleared the way for bars and restaurants to fully reopen and this week reported more than 6,000 cases over a two day-period.
