USA tops 2 million confirmed coronavirus cases

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States topped 2 million late Wednesday night, according to Johns Hopkins University. 

The mark was passed with all 50 states in various stages of re-opening and with numerous states experiencing surges in cases and severe strain on their hospitals.

It's been just five months since the coronavirus caused its first known U.S. fatality, in California, broke out in Washington state and quickly spread around the country. 

The virus has killed almost 113,000 people in the U.S., Johns Hopkins said, and there were more than 7.3 million cases worldwide and 416,000 deaths.
