The U.S. death toll from the Corona virus surpassed 7,000
This Saturday 04/04/20 as the country recorded its deadliest day.
Day Ain’t Over yet
Health officials report nearly 278,500 cases of the corona virus in the U.S.
and more than 7,150 people have died.
On Friday, the death toll rose by 1,161. New York, the hardest hit state
in the country, also saw its deadliest day, with 562 deaths, about one death
every 2 1/2 minutes.
The state has more than 113,700 cases and 3,565 deaths,
with 2,624 of those deaths in New York City. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has
repeatedly sounded the alarm on the situation in the state, pleading for more
medical supplies, particularly ventilators.
More than 15,900 people are hospitalized in the state,
including more than 4,120 people in intensive care units,
requiring ventilators, life-saving machines for the most critical patients.
The governor said at a news conference Saturday that
the Joseph and Clara Tsai Foundation and the Jack Ma Foundation are
coordinating the shipment of 1,000 ventilators from China, where the virus
originated.
He also said Oregon Gov. Kate Brown made an unsolicited offer to send 140
ventilators to the state. He praised the move as "astonishing and unexpected"
and described it as a smart attempt to contain the virus before it spreads
further across the country.
