The U.S. just reported the second-deadliest day since the beginning of
the pandemic.
Over 3,400 people died Tuesday according to Johns Hopkins University.
It's the fifth time the
country has seen more than 3,000 COVID-19 deaths in a single day.
All five of those days came
this month.
More than 322,000 Americans
have died since the beginning of the pandemic.
The numbers across New York
also paint a grim story.
Of the more than 164,000 tests to come back Monday,
over 9,700 were positive. That's a statewide infection rate of 5.89%.
Sadly, 139 more New Yorkers have died from the virus, including 6 people
in Westchester.
