The coronavirus continued its unrelenting spread across the
United States, pummeling major cities like
New York, Detroit, New Orleans and
Chicago, where an infant that tested positive for the virus died Saturday.
It made its way, too, into rural America, where hotspots erupted in ski havens in the Rockies and small towns in the Midwest.
Worldwide infections surpassed the 650,000 mark with more than 30,000 deaths as new cases also stacked up quickly in Europe, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
