Public health experts say U.S. death toll could span 100,000 to 240,000, depending on coming weeks

A man wears a face mask while the USNS Comfort and the Empire State Building are seen from Weehawken, New Jersey, during the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in New York City, March 31, 2020.The U.S. death toll from the coronavirus climbed past 3,800 Tuesday, eclipsing China’s official count, as hard-hit New York rushed to bring in more medical professionals and ambulances and parked refrigerated morgue trucks on the streets to collect the dead.

New York is the country’s deadliest hot spot, with about 1,550 deaths statewide, most of them in New York, which braced for things to get much worse in the coming weeks. The indoor tennis centre that is the site of the U.S. Open tournament is being turned into a hospital as well.The city also worked to bring in 250 out-of-town ambulances and 500 paramedics to deal with a crush of emergency calls. The fire commissioner said ambulances are responding to double their normal daily total of 3,000 calls to 911. A five-day stretch last week was the busiest in the history of the city’s emergency services operation.

The crisis hit close to home for Governor Andrew Cuomo, who reported teary-eyed that his brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, was infected. For example, in Italy, where the death toll was put at about 12,400, the country’s emergency co-ordinator, Domenico Arcuri, acknowledged that officials don’t have a handle on how many people are dying at home or in nursing homes.

In Russia, lawmakers approved harsher punishments, including prison sentences of several years, for violating quarantine rules and spreading misinformation. The chief doctor at Moscow’s top hospital for coronavirus patients said he tested positive, a week after shaking hands with Putin.

I’m more worried about the mess Canada is in Since Trudeau LEFT OUR COUNTRY OPEN TO INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS FROM HOTSPOTS UNTIL MID-MARCH...it really doesn’t matter Canada is in for FAR MORE DEATHS because of his FAILURE TO ACT!!!!

*believing number from Chinese government required to read this article...

Some 80,000 die of the flu annually in the US. Keep this real.

Check datametrex Today they will publish a report about disinformation on COVIDー19 in U.S. Also because of the Elections2020 for sure it will be interesting to read that report. FoxNews

You don’t know the death toll in China so what you are saying is not necessarily true. Nobody can confirm the death toll in China.

So Trudeau Propaganda from WHO, is parroted by the Paid Fake News. Do you check that 40,000+ urns delivered to epicenter Wuhan, where crematoriums running 24/7 Do you check 1.9 Million cell phone accounts cancelled in China I know, 30-45% of staff returned to my Vendors!

New York get it so bad but Remember the Statue of Liberty is there for a reason
