Non-filers are being directed to go to IRS.gov to enter their information so they can get their economic impact payments faster by direct deposit. There is not yet a commitment from the Treasury at this time regarding people who are waiting on paper checks, which is expected to take longer to disburse.
The remains of Courtney Clarke, 67, who died of COVID-19, are taken from Smith Funeral Home in Elizabeth, N.J., March 27, 2020.12:02 p.m.: Death toll in New York reaches 8,627, Cuomo pushes back on mayor's school closure He also spoke about reopening the state, saying the decision was both a public health and economic decision.
."We were right then and we're right now. Schools will remain closed, just like how we eventually - days later - moved to a shelter in place model."New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks during a briefing on the coronavirus, March 29, 2020.More than 600,000 forgivable loans have been approved for the Paycheck Protection Program, amounting to a total of $168 billion of the $350 billion program, according to White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow.
The package includes support for international organizations and NGOs, many of which provide essential relief to Italian communities, according to a statement from the State Department. The U.S. will also encourage donations from the country's private sector, while American military personnel who live in Italy will help provide telemedicine services, facilitate the transport and assembly of field hospitals, treat non-COVID-19 patients and support the transport of supplies, fuel and food.
The funds would help states bridge their revenue shortfalls and allow them to continue providing services amid the crisis. Hogan, a Republican, and Cuomo, a Democrat, asked the money be added to the next relief package since the CARES Act did not provide money for state governments.Democratic leaders have said they would continue negotiating with Treasure Sec. Steven Mnuchin on a broad, follow-up emergency relief package.
That’ll happen when hospitals are instructed to call any death from an illness, COVID or not or unknown as a COVID death. Numbers aren’t accurate. Neither are the amount of cases.
That’s what happens when you have six times as many people. I think it’s fair to say Italy has lost far greater % than the USA.
In other news, the U.S. has won four times the Olympic medals that Italy has. We must conclude that Italy has done a poor job of developing athletes.
LauraTrevelyan hi bye
How about percent to total to give it some validity?
Shahidmasooddr KINDLY SHARE THEIR NAMES AND WD ADDRESSES IF THEY HAVE SO MUCH DEATH WD CORONA. BY THE WAY ALL OTHER VIRUSES AND BACTERIA R ON HONEY MOON LEAVE SINCE LAST 4 MONTHS
Italy has 60 million citizens while the USA has over 320 million citizens. Now do per capita calculations
United States is 6 times bigger than Italy. 335M inhabitants vs 60M. We will surpass Italy if we go over 111,600 deaths. And that won't ever happen because this fake crisis is about to end.
😞😞😞😞
More winning , Trump style. TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER TrumpOwnsEveryDeath
Congratulations Russia.
Fake numbers
Does it really matter about whose country is bigger or the amount of people. Deaths are deaths! US should have acted quicker to prevent the spread and people dying.
Well done USA top of the leaderboard, no wonder with a president that doesn’t know how to lead.
It was the Globalist policies from the Biden/ Obama administration that made it OK for companies to move production of Medicine & masks to China & other countries. Now we know it not only cost millions of Americans there jobs but also made America vulnerable during this Pandemic!
Italy is about the size of California. Get back to us when you figure out the per capita.
Well, when you have over 270 million more people you have to expect we will pass Italy. Really wish the media would put their crap in context.
Well, America is around 100× bigger than Italy, so this makes sense.
How many of those deaths belong to these kinds of states?
It's not 'Breaking' it's on the University website and all over social media. It's not accurate, countries like China and North Korea are not 'confirmed' and won't be. Maybe if you stop regurgitating and investigate china you would have some 'Breaking news' and real stats.
UPDATE...THE US IS BIGGER THAN ITALY YOU DOOFUS
Fake news!!!!! Any death is now related to corona. thegreatlie letstakeourcountryback reachouttome
Was it really Trimps fault we had a pandemic? Oh wait everything is Trumps fault. The dog ate your homework and that's Trumps fault too. You guys need to figure out what is really going on here....and it's not Trumps fault.
chinese food ChinaVirus
The US is HUGE compared to Italy. You can not truly compare the two.
Well I see none of you bothered with a math class. Asshats
The US has nearly six times the population of Italy. Nice try FakeNews
ABC hasn't figured out the Unites States is 6 time larger than Italy. They are a little slow mentally, they will get it eventually.
Then stay home!
No doubt Trump will be bragging about this record in some way shape or form. Just a matter of time.
The United States is a much larger country too, with millions now tested, tens of thousands recovered, and our death rate is much, much lower than Italy.
US has 328 million people Italy has 60 million people.
I'm still voting for Trump.
US -320 million Italy- 60 million Do we have6x the deaths? See per capita data matters
You might want deaths per capita instead of fear and panic porn. How are you still even operating?
The CDC is inflating the numbers for their propaganda
Is it because alot of people still acting like it's Spring Break and not taking quarantine/stay at home guidelines seriously 🤔?
Considering our population what would you expect geniuses?
Trump said we would be number 1.
U.S.Population 328.2 million in 2109 (US Census Bureau) Italy Population 60.36 million in 2019 (Eurostat, INSEE) More ABC Hyperbolizing the news
How many deaths not from CV19 are being counted as CV19 deaths?
'America First'.
I'm saddened by this!
Population % please
How about you compare the population. Italy ~60 million people. The US ~300 million. Stop scaring people.
China has lied about their numbers but Pres Xi will pull his funding from you guys if you mention that. Also the US has just a slightly higher population than Italy but hey keep on rocking the fear porn
The United States has 6 times more people than Italy. ABC should stop trying to sensationalize numbers. Numbers don’t lie But Liars figure. Biased
we also have 5.5 times their population and you point is. abcsucks
China has the most deaths and Italy has 60 Million people.
MAGA, eh? Pffft. We're 1 in the World.
More fear porn for the brainwashed masses.
What % of the population please, Italy is a much smaller country last time I checked. Any death is too much, your lead headline is nothing more then miss leading and just low.
in la county the deaths are 1 in 41,000, or .0023%. I have a better chance of getting my gooch licked by alyssa milano.
fakenews in action here...no mention to the 450 million in America compared to Italy's 45 million
📌
.POTUS VP WhiteHouse GOP Is this really winning? Dubious 1 ranking due to your morally corrupt inept leadership during this crisis.
What are the numbers for communist China?
America is ranked 15th in the world for deaths per capita and 19th in the world for cases per capita
The US is 32 times bigger than Italy, too 🤔
Italy's population is roughly equivalent to California & Florida combined. It would follow, people succumbing to Covid-19 would be higher in America. No less devastating but higher.
Figure it out morons. Our population is much larger than Italy’s!
If we had followed our government we would all be dead now. I seem to remember : it’s nothing to be concerned about. And. : it kills a lot less people than the flue.
We have about 4 times the number of cases compared to Italy or Spain...and now have more deaths than any other country...somebody should explain why...
Of course that requires you to accept the pervasive lying by China about the Wuhan Virus.
And News (Absolute Bull Crap News) is ecstatic to to report it. Because there's just NO WAY at all that China is lying about there numbers.
Well that's great!!! realDonaldTrump has always wanted to have America at number 1. Ur dream came true Trump. Thanks for doing nothing when you were made aware of this virus back in January.
And if WHO had investigated China’s claim of no human-to-human transmission BEFORE it announced such lie, we’d not be where we are. Next time WHO makes another announcement about an infection in China, only fools would believe.
They also have Trump!
Please stop! There has been substantially more deaths in China. The dictatorship there is just not providing the real numbers.
Yup, thank China for that. You dolts still think they’re a great people?
I hope this country is proud of themselves !! So you idiots that don’t think that this virus is serious you go right ahead and be so condescending with your opinions and actions ! I want yo flatten the curve and get the virus the hell out of USA so let’s stay home be safe
Trump wasn’t lying when said he had high ratings and number trumpcovidfails TrumpBurialPits TrumpLiesAmericansDie
Thanks to trump and adm failure to act
Makes sense we are nearly 4 times the population
BREAKING NEWS: Italy has only 18% of America’s population. Wtf did Italy do so wrong?
ABC, you're smarter than that...Italy is tiny compared to the US.....
How many were heart disease or other causes that get chalked up by the crazy LiberalHypocrisy. I am thinking that number is closer to 6-8k...You can't count bullet holes or car accident victims idiots...Trump2020
Hey realDonaldTrump you’re 1 at this too!.....Happy? VoteTrumpOut2020 NBCNews CBSNews cnnbrk
The states suffering the most are mostly blue. Too much time filling social programs instead preparing to take care of everyone in the state. If it wasnt for Trump more folks would have died. Everyone likes the idea of closed borders now dont they. Bluesucks
Where is the per capita qualification that they used when the us passed the world in the number of tests being done?
ONLY FIGURES WITH USA POPULATION OF 331,000,000 and ITALY 65,000,000 THAT USA MIGHT SURPASS COVID NUMBERS FROM ITALY...dah..don't need rocket science degree as they say..!!
Way to go realDonaldTrump ! You’re 1 WorstPresidentInHistory
Fake news and also the enemy of the people, freedom, God and the American Constitution ... we are more that 5 times the population. But, you knew that.
We all know China had far more.
I wonder how many of them were republicans who thought their President would take care of them during times like these.
It’s rate not overall if you want to insinuate quality of healthcare. You are sick media. Praying for you.
Per capita is the only comparable figure on this topic.
If you test positive for covid today and get hit and killed by a truck tomorrow (punctured lung, the cause of death is covid. I don't believe total number. Most have underlying issues that killed them!
Misleading. Please focus on deaths/per capita or deaths/per confirmed cases.
Sher2025 👇
Shahidmasooddr
Thanks IMPOTUS. Doing a crappie job. Too worried abou you’re stock market. If too many die you won’t have a stock market.
😱😱😱😱
Are we doing per capita or not. You can’t do test one way and death another.
Millions of test went out but failed to mention MOST OVER 1.2 million went to Florida!!! Hard hit STATES NEED VENTILATORS They still waiting but 1 State receive 100 soon request. Those supplies are For Trump Friends. Not for Regular Americans. We the America People die from Lies.
OMG
Thanks Trump We have the top ratings
What percent of the population - ?
Congratulations Donald Trump. You’ve killed thousands. MAGA
The USA is ranked 20th in cases per population size
Per capita. Google per capita. Please.
Trump said we’re Good it won’t happen here. We’re ok it’s gone disappear. It’s another Democrat Hoax. Now he says I never said that it’s the Democrats fault they just want to take me down. Why so many ventilators and mask the don’t really need that many. Millions of test went out
Died FROM the virus or died WITH the virus ?
He’s going to Mexico tomorrow
Stop bullshitting the world with fake covid-19 deaths. The people who are dying were already 90 to 99 percent nearly dead of some sickness, be it cancer, AIDS, stroke, Alzheimer's, respiratory malaise, diabetic infection etc. COVID-19 just nail the coffins.
You can thank our potus realDonaldTrump for causing more Americans to die from this pandemic than Italy because he claimed this virus was a hoax, blocked testing and abandoned the people he was elected to protect in favor of his own self-interests. COVIDー19 coronavirus
If the virus is politicized and the anti epidemic materials purchased from China are used for auction in the United States, more people will die.
That's the number one Trump was talking about. 🤣
Yes more confirmed deaths,but we are a huge country compare to Italy and other countries!
Because US has selfish undisciplined culture! That's why you have OPENAMERICANOW trending! This comes mostly at the hands of the young via the Enemy. If they don't quickly change, it will be to the detriment of the US. Patient, cooperation and DISCIPLINE IS NEEDED.
Gyptsea1962 So tired of winning.
Yes, because we believe Chinese government. ChinesePropaganda EnemyOfThePeople
Contrast this with India with 1.34 billion people has just 280 deaths so far. Why? More advanced health care? No. A strict country wide lockdown since 3/23.
Now compare both countries total population and do the ratio of comparison accordingly with the number of death and then we talk about numbers
18k?! Holy shit! Stop the world! Kill the economy! Strip us of our rights!
Johns Hopkins U is making a name for themselves w all the data and reports on Corvid19 cases, deaths, and news! Kudos & thank you to it
That was China’s ultimate goal when it released this biochemical weapon on the West. China 1:Humanity 0 Don’t count us out yet, China.
Other than the untold unreported deaths in China.
FakeNewsMedia FakeNewsAlert FakeNews Is there a point? or are you simply promoting fear? The US (330M people) is more than 5X larger than Italy (60M people). COVIDIDIOT
realDonaldTrump so much winning great job
U.S. compared to Italy.
The united states don't care because black and brown people are dying at a alarming rate. All trump cares about is opening up stores. Getting the economy back going.
Sad 😞
Someone w/ terminal illness or died for another reason is being counted as covid death just because they were positive. Inaccurate.
So obviously you’re leaving China out of the equation.
With not? Look at the idiot that stole the election...all he does is whine and call everyone who aint with his bull💩 names
Make America great again!
What abc won't report is that our poulation is 5x the size of Italy. Says all you need to know about them when they are rooting on death toll numbers.
These 3 tweets account for half of those deaths. But let’s ignore that because orange man bad.
No context? We are over 5 times the population of Italy and has around 19.5K deaths so once we reach around 110K deaths we can be compared to Italy until then it’s just a complete BS comparison
