Yesterday, nearly 2000 Americans died of Coronavirus (the true number is probably greater, because this only includes known positives).
The previous high had been 1330, and there had been hope that the number of deaths was leveling off in the 1000 - 1500 range. In addition to New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Georgia all recorded triple digit deaths.
There were 7382 deaths worldwide from Covid-19 yesterday alone. Things, maybe, hopefully, are slowing down in some places, but this thing cannot slow down fast enough.

Quote:An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee
