California on Thursday became the second state in the U.S. to top 1 million total coronavirus cases, following Texas, per data from Johns Hopkins University. Texas and California alone comprise roughly 20% of the nation’s total case count exceeding 10 million infections. State data show California’s daily case counts had been on the rise since late September, following a turbulent time in July when daily infections topped 12,000 on multiple occasions. Data from Johns Hopkins University reported 995,575 confirmed cases by Thursday afternoon as the state approached toward the 1-million mark. Each day from Nov. 7 to Nov. 10, state data shows over 2,000 new cases.
