The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. has doubled in the past 6 weeks to just over 4.25 million.

More than 147,000 Americans have died since the start of the pandemic death. Tens of millions of people in the U.S. have filed for unemployment.

Roughly 1 in 5 workers is jobless. More than 1.4 million people applied for unemployment benefits in mid-July as some states rolled back reopening plans.

The impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of Americans is taking its toll, according to some doctors.
