New York, the hardest hit state in America, reported its highest number of coronavirus-related deaths in a single day on Wednesday, announcing that another 779 people had died. That brought the virus death toll to 6,268 in New York State, which Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo noted was more than twice as many people as the state had lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
New Jersey also had a record number of deaths in the past day: Gov. Philip D. Murphy said that 275 people had died there, up from 232 on Tuesday. More people have died in New York and New Jersey — a total of 7,772 — than in the rest of the United States combined.
The homebound and virus wary across the Northern Hemisphere, be it Mr. Trump or cooped up schoolchildren, have clung to the possibility that the pandemic will fade in hot weather, as some viral diseases do.
But the National Academy of Sciences, in a public report sent to the White House, has said, in effect: Don't get your hopes up. After reviewing a variety of research reports, the panel concluded that the number of studies, of varying quality of evidence, simply do not offer a clear forecast of what will happen to the spread of the coronavirus in the summer. It may not diminish significantly.
