U.S. Records More Than 50,000 New Daily COVID-19 Cases

Officials announced a record of over 50,000 new infections in a single day, with spikes in states like Texas, Florida, and California. This has led to some states rolling back reopening measures and imposing quarantines. Dr. Anthony Fauci warned of potential daily cases exceeding 100,000, while Dr. Scott Gottlieb suggested the actual number of infections could be much higher due to insufficient testing. The Trump administration plans to implement pool testing to increase testing efficiency, where multiple samples are tested together, and only if positive, are individual tests conducted. This method is expected to be in place by the end of summer.
