UPDATE, DEC 16:
The daily toll is the second-highest in the pandemic, after 3,343 last Friday.
Confirmed cases are 16,717,104, with 197,512 yesterday. Hospitalizations rose to a record 112,816.
After weeks of stalemate, there appeared to be some movement in Congressional talks for a stimulus package.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who blocked any bill before the November 3 election, appeared to shift his position. He said, “We’re making significant progress”, encouraged that legislators are “going to be able to complete an understanding sometime soon.”
