The country’s coronavirus death toll is rising fast. More than 245,00 people have died from the coronavirus in the U.S., more than in any other country, and the pace is likely to accelerate in the coming weeks.

By some estimates, the U.S. may soon be on track to reach or exceed the spring peak, when as many as 2,200 people were dying from the coronavirus every day. Here’s the latest map and case count.
