The number of novel coronavirus cases in the U.S. has grown from one on Jan. 21 to more than 312,000 by early Sunday, per Johns Hopkins.

The big picture: Roughly three-quarters of the American population is on lockdown, with social distancing measures and other orders in place across the country. Here's how Americans are coping with the massive upheaval the outbreak has brought, in photos.
