The number of deaths late Saturday was 2,010, about a quarter of them in New York City, the country's hardest-hit region, Johns Hopkins reported.The surge came as Presidentsaid he was considering a quarantine on the greater New York area to slow the disease's move from the US epicenter.

"If you said we're geographically confining people, that would be a lockdown. Then we would be Wuhan, China, and that wouldn't make sense," Cuomo told CNN, referring to the city in central China where the virus outbreak began, which was almost totally isolated by Beijing. Cuomo said he did not believe such an act would be legal, and added:"Why you would want to just create total pandemonium on top of a pandemic, I have no idea."

And so everybody begins to doubt China figures. Iam certain that China numbers are utterly and willfully underreported. My estimate is that it had at least 5 times more the reported/'official' number of cases and deaths.
