(CNN)Covid-19 is now killing faster than at any point in 2020. And the new year just started.
The US reported its highest number of Covid-19 deaths in one day Tuesday: 4,327, according to Johns Hopkins University.
In fact, the five highest daily tallies for new infections and new deaths have all occurred in 2021.
Over the past week, the US has averaged more than 3,300 deaths every day, a jump of more than 217% from mid-November.
Many experts aren't surprised after widespread holiday gatherings, casual get-togethers with friends and weeks of record-high hospitalization numbers.
