Just for fun, here is a weekly graph from my daily logs of new cases per day, calculated as a percentage of total cases.
As mentioned in previous posts, here is a visualization tool for mapping the cases of COVID-19 occurrences.
According to the site, this morning's worldwide number of reported cases was 2,273,986 with 579,155 recoveries, 156,076 fatalities, and 706,832 cases in the US. After 3 days of declines and 4 days of increases, today's 35,339 new cases marks a new all time high for the US (according to the daily numbers that I have logged for this series).
Of the cases in the US, the site reports 60,523 recoveries, 37,084, and 30,031 cases in Pennsylvania (921 deaths, 147,373 tests administered).
The site also reports 112,260 people hospitalized in the US and 3,574,392 tests administered.
