US coronavirus deaths pass bleak 10,000 milestone

WASHINGTON: Americans were put on notice on Monday not to let up in the fight against the coronavirus, as a grim milestone of 10,000 deaths cast a pall over the first signs of optimism about the trajectory of the outbreak.

The overall tally of confirmed cases in New York, the US epicenter of the pandemic, grew by 7 per cent from the previous day to 130,680. Cuomo warned it was still too soon to know whether the state has turned the corner, saying:"If we are plateauing, we are plateauing at a high level." There was a 24 per cent per day increase in positive cases on Mar 30, but the rate of growth had slowed to 12 per cent on Monday.

Nine states - all controlled by Republican governors - have still not yet ordered total lockdowns, much to the frustration of public health experts. Evers moved to delay the election unilaterally after the Republican-majority state Senate and state Assembly ignored his repeated appeals for a postponement.Although hotspots such as New York face a dire lack of protective gear, ventilators and medics, there was further cause for optimism, with early-hit states like Washington and California demonstrating a possible pathway out of the crisis.
