One hundred thousand coronavirus deaths in the U.S. was the low estimate.

That figure, the bottom end of the Trump White House's best-picture scenario of 100,000 to 240,000 deaths, was reached in May 2020 after the virus spread across the United States. The Covid-19 death count matched the upper end of that figure in early November.

The death toll in the U.S. has eclipsed those of every other country.

Track the number of new reported deaths each day in the country and in the hardest-hit states. NBC News will update the data in these charts daily. See the number of new confirmed cases per day in each state here.

Since New York's first recorded death in March 2020, more than 50,000 of its people have died of Covid-19.

Around the rest of the country, California and Texas have had the most total deaths. Note that these charts are on a different scale than the New York state chart above.
