The rise in cases continues to put strain on hospitals and some are even running out of ICU beds.

This morning, more than 101,000 people are fighting the virus from a hospital bed according to the COVID tracking project. 20,000 are in the ICU. And, take a look at the numbers from this time in October and November – they have tripled over the past two months.
