More than 10,000 People Have Now Died of Coronavirus in the United States
More than 10,000 people have died in the United States after testing positive for the new coronavirus, Johns Hopkins University reported Monday.
The nation's updated fatality count—which climbed to 10,335 on April 6—now represents roughly 14 percent of the global total.
Worldwide, at least 72,600 deaths have occurred as a result of COVID-19 infections and upward of 1.3 million cases of the virus have been confirmed since late December. The U.S. is now considered the pandemic's epicenter, surpassing 347,000 positive cases Monday afternoon. About 91 percent of those cases were active, meaning close to 318,000 people diagnosed with the illness still carried the infection.
The U.S. death toll has been eclipsed only by those of Italy and Spain, which have now respectively reported 16,523 and 13,169 fatalities related to COVID-19. Despite fewer deaths, as of Monday, the U.S. has confirmed more positive cases of the virus than both countries combined, and White House officials warned last week that the nation could ultimately see a surge in domestic fatalities as the outbreak approaches its peak.
