Florida reported a record one-day rise in coronavirus deaths on Tuesday, and cases in Texas passed the 400,000 mark, stoking fears the United States was losing control of the outbreak and adding pressure on Congress to pass another massive aid package.

Georgia, which borders Florida, reported 54 more deaths on Tuesday as its total number of cases rose to more than 175,000, according to its state health department. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top U.S. infectious diseases expert, said there were signs the recent surge could be peaking in hard-hit states like Florida and Texas while other parts of the country may be on the cusp of growing outbreaks.
It also has fueled a bitter debate over the reopening of U.S. schools in the coming weeks. Trump and other administration officials have pushed for students to return to classrooms while some parents and teachers have voiced safety concerns.
