The US reportedly hit a record of single-day COVID-19 deaths on Wednesday — topping 3,000 for the first time.

The grim milestone, reported by the Washington Post, comes as cases in the country have been soaring.

The nationwide spike — with nearly every state reporting surges — is likely to worsen the impending Holiday gatherings.

The FDA added the vaccine appeared safe in the agency’s initial review, setting the stage for potential US approval within days.
