That was the highest monthly death rate in the city for at least a decade. However, the confirmed death toll from the novel coronavirus in May was just 171 people. “There have never been so many cases of pneumonia, not ever. And since there’s no other flu or infection going around right now, it leads one to believe that are due to the coronavirus,” Yakovlev, who also heads the infectious diseases department at St. Petersburg State University, told Reuters.

The Latest: Trump makes surprise visit to St. John’s ChurchPresident Trump threatens to deploy military to American cities to quell a rise of violent protests. Peaceful demonstrators cleared from Lafayette Park so Trump could walk across park to church damaged by protesters. Latest updates: I don't know what's worse - Wannabe-King-Tyrant himself, or the scumbag idiots who leap to his defense and perform mental gymnastics to excuse and justify every wretched thing he does. So whether the protest is peaceful or violent it's rubber bullets, batons and tear gas apparently. All to hold a Bible up in front of a church. All because of this photo !! Trump is a fake ! and he knows Biden is a true leader Biden2020Landslide.
