HOUSTON (AP) — Coronavirus hospitalizations and caseloads have hit new highs in over a half-dozen U.S. states as signs of the virus’ resurgence grow. New cases nationwide are back near their peak level of two months ago. The U.S. caseload has been growing again for over a week, particularly in the south and west. A Johns Hopkins University tally published Wednesday says some 34,700 cases were reported nationwide Tuesday. Cases were also surging in some other parts of the world, including India and Mexico.
