U.S. tops 300,000 COVID-19 deaths on the same day vaccinations begin

Critical care nurse Sandra Lindsay in Queens, N.Y. the first person in U.S. to receive COVID-19 vaccine

Italy passes U.K. for highest COVID-19 death toll in Europe

Germany pandemic restrictions over the holidays

The U.S. reached the sobering milestone of 300,000 for COVID-19 related deaths on Monday, a contrast to the hope and relief felt after the first person in the U.S. received a shot to protect against the deadly pandemic.

The U.S. death toll climbed to 300,267 as of Monday afternoon, and the case tally rose to 16,388,504, according to data aggregated by Johns Hopkins University.

That follows at least 1,357 new coronavirus deaths and 184,248 new cases reported on Sunday, according to data provided by the New York Times. That brought the daily average over the past week to 210,112 cases, up 30% from the average two weeks earlier.

While the daily case count slipped slightly from 207,444 on Saturday, the number of hospitalizations rose for an eighth-straight day on Sunday to a record 109,331, breaking the record set a day before of 108,487, according to the COVID Tracking Project.

And yet, there was reason for optimism.

“I feel hopeful today. Relieved,” said Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York, who was the first person in the U.S. to be vaccinated, according to an Associated Press report.

The vaccine, made by Pfizer Inc. PFE, -4.57% and Germany-based BioNTech SE BNTX, -14.95% is arriving at other hospitals around the country. In the U.S., health care workers and nursing-home residents will be the first to receiver the vaccines.

Later this week, a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee will meet to discuss whether Moderna Inc.’s MRNA, -1.19% COVID-19 vaccine candidate should be authorized for use. The same committee met last week and voted 17-4 to recommend the FDA grant emergency use authorization to Pfizer’s and BioNTech’s vaccine.

“Although vaccine developments are promising, and we should truly rejoice at the progress, we must remember that it is unlikely that they will be available to the general public for several months,” wrote analysts at Raymond James in a research note.

Latest tallies

The number of global confirmed cases of COVID-19 grew to 72,626,153, according to JHU data, as the death toll reached 1,618,509. At least 47.4 million people have recovered.

The U.S. was by far the world leader as it accounted for roughly one-fifth of the cases and deaths, but was second in recoveries at 6.3 million, behind India’s 9.4 million recovered.

Brazil had the second most deaths at 181,402 and third most cases at 6,901,952, while India was second in cases at 9,884,100 and third in deaths at 143,355.

Mexico was fourth in deaths at 113,953 and 13th in cases at 1,250,044.

Italy had the fifth most deaths at 65,011, and passed the U.K. to have the highest death toll in Europe. The U.K. was fifth with a death toll of 64,500, and climbed to sixth in the world in cases at 1,874,803. Italy was eighth in cases at 1,855,737.

Germany was 16th in deaths at 22,330 and 12th in cases at 1,357,049.

German said over the weekend that it was tightening lockdown measures starting Wednesday through Jan. 10 in an attempt to stop the surge in cases. The seven-day rolling average of daily cases in Germany has increased to 26 new cases per 100,000 people on Dec. 12 from 21.2 new cases per 100,000 on Nov. 28.

China, where the virus was first discovered late last year, has had 94,410 confirmed cases and 4,752 death.
