US braces for hardest week as coronavirus deaths surpass 9,000

WASHINGTON - The United States enters one of the most critical weeks so far in the coronavirus crisis with the death toll exploding in New York, Michigan and Louisiana and some governors calling for a national order to stay at home.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said new hospitalisations had fallen by 50 per cent and, for the first time in at least a week, deaths had fallen slightly from the prior day, when they rose by 630."The coronavirus is truly vicious and effective at what the virus does," Cuomo told a daily briefing."It's an effective killer."

Places such as Pennsylvania, Colorado and Washington D.C. are starting to see rising deaths. The White House coronavirus task force warned this is not the time to go to the grocery store or other public places. "We're defying the rules because the commandment of God is to spread the Gospel," said Tony Spell, pastor at the Life Tabernacle megachurch in a suburb of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He has defied state orders against assembling in large groups and has already been hit with six misdemeanors.

White House medical experts have forecast that between 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could be killed in the pandemic, even if sweeping orders to stay home are followed.Still, Wisconsin's Republican-controlled legislature decided to hold in-person voting for its presidential primary on Tuesday, when Democratic-led Colorado will also go ahead with local elections.
