According to data published by Dr. Maria Danilycheva in San Diego, California, the virus causes 1970 deaths in the USA per day. For comparison: 1774 deaths per day are associated with cardiovascular diseases and 1641 - with cancer.

The death toll in the United States continues to increase dramatically in recent weeks - it has exceeded 16 people, an increase of more than 600 people according to data released by Johns Hopkins University just eight days ago.

Coronavirus mortality in the United States reached 1939 people per day, which is also the highest rate in one day for any country, since the virus was first detected in China at the end of last year.

Just a week ago, on a chart that mentioned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as sources, COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death, with an average of about 975 deaths per day.

On March 22, daily mortality from COVID-19 began to rise, outpacing the flu, pneumonia, and suicide, as well as liver and kidney disease.

Dr. James Lawler, a public health researcher at the University of Nebraska, estimated in mid-March that the mortality rate could reach 480 if the incidence rate remained unchanged.

This mortality rate was second only to cancer, which kills just under 600 Americans a year, and cardiovascular disease, which kills about 000.

On April 9, in New York, more than 161 cases of coronavirus infection were reported, and the number of deaths in the state exceeded 000.

In New York, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States, the death toll per day, April 9, exceeded 5000. Currently, the virus has killed more than 2000 people more than the September 11 attack.

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo said state deaths reached the third daily record.

Although mortality has increased, reports have shown that hospital admissions have declined in some areas of the United States. Cuomo added that hospitalization rates in New York have declined due to social distance measures.

“Our efforts are working,” he said. “They work better than anyone expected.” It’s because people obey them.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony Fauci said that according to newer data, mortality in the US will be lower than the initial forecast of 100 to 000 total deaths. The decline in daily mortality rates usually lags behind hospitalization rates.

“I believe we will see a decline in deaths, most likely up to 60 victims, previously estimated 000-100,” Fauci said.

One in five Americans knows someone infected with a coronavirus

More than one in five (22%) people said that they personally know someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, according to a new CNN poll. This figure was twice as much as it was two weeks ago in a Washington Post and ABC News poll. Writes about it New York Post.

A CNN poll was conducted from April 3 to 6 among a random national sample of 1002 adults. In addition, concerns continue about the coronavirus, which, according to the latest data on the morning of April 10, infected more than 450 Americans, killing more than 000 people in the United States.

Slightly less than half (46%) of respondents believe that it is likely that they or someone from their family will become infected with COVID-19, and 80% believe that the worst is yet to come.

Most Americans (71%) feel somewhat prepared to receive a COVID-19 diagnosis in a family member, but only about a third are "very confident" in their ability to get medical treatment if they need it - a rate that varies greatly by race and income.

Although 40% of whites are “very confident” that they will be able to receive medical care, only 28% of other races say the same thing. Those who earn $ 50 a year or more are also much more confident in themselves than those who earn less (000% versus 43%). More than half of Republicans (28%) are also sure that they can get help in case of infection, but So says a third of those who have not yet decided (34%) and less than a quarter of the Democrats (23%).

In general, the Americans did not approve of the government’s response to the pandemic. Most of them (55%) said that the federal government did a "bad job" to prevent the spread of the virus. Moreover, 55% said U.S. President Donald Trump could do more to fight the outbreak, 37% said they became more worried about coronavirus in the past few days, and 5% said their fears had subsided.

But Trump's overall perception rating has not changed much. Currently, 44% approve of Trump and 51% disapprove, which only increased slightly after 43% approval and 53% disapproval in the last three polls. Moreover, he received the best health policy approval rating (42%) since 2017.

Opinions on how the federal government dealt with the outbreak were also divided along party lines: 80% of Republicans said the government did a good job, and 85% of Democrats said the government did a bad job.
