On Friday, the United States recorded a record single-day high of more than 83,000 new cases. The next day, it was just 39 cases short of the previous mark.

But it is also evidence of an autumnal surge in the virus that’s buffeting both sides of the Atlantic. Hospitalizations and deaths are on the rise. In Europe, countries posted new milestones in casel- oads over the weekend amid new rounds of curfews and lockdowns.

The high school was expected to reopen Tuesday unless contact tracers found “more contact than expected,” Smith said. “My sense is that won’t be necessary.

THOUSAND OAKS — CA A man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with attacks on homeless people in Southern Califor- nia, police said. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office investigated at least three attacks dating back to mid-June, according to officials. In one incident someone threw a rock at the head of a sleeping victim in Thousand Oaks. In another, a victim was struck by a vehicle and the driver fled the scene, the Ventura County Star reported. Detectives conducting surveillance in the area eventually identified Ali Assadi Tehrani, 41, as a suspect, the newspaper said. Offi- cials described Tehrani as homeless but didn’t indicate a possible motive. Man rescued after fall in sidewalk collapse

BY RONALD BLUM Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — As much as Clayton Kershaw has dominated hitters through- out a glittering career, he has not silenced those who cite his lack of baseball’s ultimate accomplishment. With a gritty performance, plus one particular delivery home that will long be remembered, he hushed the skeptics and moved the Los Angeles Dodgers within a victory of their first World Series title since 1988. “He’s a phenomenal pitcher on the biggest stage,” reliever Blake Treinen said after Kershaw beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second time in six days, a 4-2 win Sunday night that gave the Dodg- ers a 3-2 Series lead. “I think a lot of credit goes to what he’s been able to do in this World Series for us.” Kershaw even prevented the Rays from stealing the tying run. Los Angeles was clinging to a one-run lead with runners at the corners and two outs in the fourth inning, and Kevin Kiermaier at the plate. The great left-hander had raised both hands over his head in his instantly recognizable stretch Scoreboard “Last minute we were able to position when he heard first base- get a few extra nosebleed seats, man Max Muncy scream: “Step my wife said, so we got to bring an extra 10 or so people here,” off!
