Atlanta, December 11 (RHC)-- The U.S. recorded another staggering toll from COVID-19 on Thursday, with over 224,000 new infections and nearly 3,000 deaths.  Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned that for the next 60 to 90 days the U.S. will likely see more COVID-19 deaths per day than the number of people killed in the September 11th attacks -- over 3,000 daily.

Dr. Redfield told reporters: “It’s also very sobering to realize in the United States today that COVID-19 now is the leading cause of death, surpassing heart disease.”

Meanwhile, a CDC official told lawmakers earlier this week she was instructed by CDC Director Robert Redfield to delete an e-mail from the Trump administration which sought to alter a scientific report on the risks of COVID-19 to children, in order to better match Trump’s messaging on reopening schools.
