The death rate in New York - the epicentre of the US outbreak - is so high that local officials have floated the controversial idea of temporarily burying people in public parks until enough space opens up in the city's morgues.

The US death toll from the coronavirus surged past 10,000 on Monday , as the country's health officials warned Americans to prepare for their country's "peak death week".

"Total number of hospitalisations are down, the ICU admissions are down and the daily intubations are down - those are all good signs and, again, would suggest a possible flattening of the curve," Cuomo said. New York will remain "on pause" - that is, essentially shut down - until at least the end of April, he said.

Levine later clarified that this was a contingency plan, and will not be required if the death rate drops sufficiently.

'Hopes of a plateau' as coronavirus death toll passes 10,000 in the US | Sky News AustraliaSky News US correspondent Cameron Stewart says 'the only silver lining' coming out of the United States is New York Governor Cuomo's comments that there are 'hopes of a plateau in deaths' for the state.\n\n'It's a very grim milestone today; 10,000 [deaths]. In fact, it's 10,500 already - that's how quickly things are going up. It's over 1000 people dying every day,' Mr Stewart said.\n\n'The spread of the virus in America has been very uneven - so in some states, there hasn't been much of a spread at all.'\n\n'Donald Trump's view is 'don't close down those economies if you don't need to' and the health experts' view is 'shut them down because the virus will get there eventually'. So you have this tension between the economic imperative and the health imperative.'\n\nImage: AP\n\n China Floods Facebook with Ads Blaming Trump for Chinese Virus: WB Hmm, At least 5 people in China have disappeared, gotten arrested, or been silenced after speaking out about the coronavirus WB: And in Australia Labor MP’S R Praising China Hmm?

Victoria's schools to reopen next weekPremier Daniel Andrews announces schools will reopen next week, as the state's coronavirus death toll rises to 11. This is so misleading. I must say 'digital issues' is a very polite way of saying 'screwed over by the NBN'. This is out of date already given he announced they'd go remote shortly after.
