The physical and emotional toll of coronavirus as it surges across states

The U.S. has hit another record for new daily cases of COVID-19, with more than 144,000 reported on Wednesday. Hospitalizations have topped 65,000 for the first time, and 22 states are reporting more hospitalizations than at any time since the pandemic began. With health care workers exhausted and no end in sight, we hear from Americans directly affected by the worsening coronavirus surge.
