The United States reported 3,865 COVID-19 deaths Wednesday (January 6), bringing the total to 361,123, according to data from John Hopkins University. It is the most number of people to die in a single day since the start of the global pandemic.
As the number of cases continues to soar, hospitals are filling up across the country. As of Wednesday, the COVID Tracking Project reported there were a record 132,476 patients being treated for the virus.
Public health officials believe the pandemic is only going to get worse in the coming weeks. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that the number of deaths could top 430,000 by the end of the month.

1 in 100,000 Had Severe Allergic Reaction to COVID Shot: CDC By Robert Langreth and Emma Court | January 7, 2021
Roughly 1 in 100,000 people have had a severe allergic reaction to the first Covid-19 vaccine, a rate that’s higher than the flu vaccine but still quite rare, U.S. health officials said.
A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Wednesday outlined 21 cases of anaphylaxis among the first 1.9 million recipients of Pfizer Inc.’s vaccine, a rate of 11.1 per million doses administered. No anaphylaxis deaths have been reported, the CDC said.
The CDC said it has seen the reactions in recipients of the Moderna Inc. shot as well, with 29 confirmed cases of anaphylaxis to date between the two vaccines. Still, the CDC is sticking with its recommendation that most people should still get the shots, saying the risks surrounding the vaccine are less than the risk of getting a severe case of Covid-19.
