Coronavirus live updates: FDA chief won’t overrule scientists on vaccine; AstraZeneca delay ‘wake-up call’

The U.S. reported 34,256 new cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday, after several days of total daily new cases below 30,000. Those low numbers were likely impacted by the holiday weekend, which shuttered local health departments and other offices. Epidemiologists are closely following the data after Labor Day for signs of a surge in new cases.

The following data was compiled by Johns Hopkins University:

• Global cases: More than 27.8 million
• Global deaths: At least 904,300
• U.S. cases: More than 6.36 million
• U.S. deaths: At least 190,800
