It’s not just Florida, Arizona and Texas anymore. States including Oklahoma and Nevada are reporting record numbers of new coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths, according to data tracked by The Washington Post. More than 62,000 new infections were reported nationwide on Tuesday, pushing the total count since the pandemic began past 3.41 million.

Outside of the United States, that kind of explosive growth can be found only in the developing world, in countries that lack the United States’ wealth and resources. The number of new cases reported in Florida alone over the past week outstrips the total count in most European nations.

At least 133,000 Americans have died of covid-19 to date, with Florida, North Carolina, Alabama, Nevada and Utah reporting record numbers of fatalities Tuesday.

Here are some significant developments:

• An experimental coronavirus vaccine prompted immune responses in the first 45 people to take part in human trials, and it appeared to be safe, according to early findings published Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
• CDC Director Robert Redfield said Tuesday that the coronavirus could be “under control” in the United States within a month or two if everyone wore masks.
• The Trump administration abruptly dropped plans to make international students leave the country if they aren’t taking any face-to-face classes this fall.
• Some communities in Arizona and Texas are preparing for a surge in covid-19 deaths by requesting “mobile morgues” — refrigerated trucks that can serve as backups when they reach capacity for body storage.
• Nearly every resident of a Montana assisted-living facility has tested positive for covid-19. Before the outbreak, Canyon Creek Memory Care had turned down free testing offered by the state.
