BREAKING: The United States now leads the world in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases with more than 82,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.

— Eight countries ask for immediate lifting of sanctions to fight virus.WASHINGTON — The White House coronavirus response coordinator says the task force is concerned about certain counties in the Midwest that appear to be seeing a rapid increase in cases.She said at Thursday’s White House briefing that the task force is not only looking at where the cases are today, but where they will be in the future so the Federal Emergency Management Agency can be alerted to where the next hotspots will be.

The 67-year-old Jibril, a U.S.-educated economist, led the liberal pro-business National Forces Alliance that secured a landslide victory against the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya’s 2012 parliamentary elections. All nonessential businesses will remain shuttered until mid-April, and people will only be allowed to leave their homes or hotels to go to the bank or buy food or medicine.BATON ROUGE, La. — Amid the outbreak’s climbing trajectory in Louisiana, the state received news Thursday that President Donald Trump agreed to create two, 250-bed federal field hospitals in the state.

The announcement of the USNS Comfort’s planned deployment comes as New York City-area hospitals are clearing out beds, setting up new spaces to triage patients and urging people with mild symptoms to consult health professionals by phone or video chat instead of overrunning emergency rooms. Louisiana state health officials say the number of coronavirus cases Thursday surpassed 2,300, along with 86 related deaths. New Orleans was gearing up for a possible overflow at area hospitals, with plans to treat as many as 3,000 patients at the city’s convention center.

A weak U.N.-recognized administration that holds the capital of Tripoli and parts of the country’s west is backed by Turkey and to a lesser degree Qatar and Italy as well as local militias. A rival government in the east that supports self-styled Gen. Khalifa Hifter, whose forces launched an offensive to capture the capital last April, is backed by the United Arab Emirates and Egypt as well as France and Russia.

The company credited U.S. Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey with helping resolve the dispute. Smith, a Republican who has been active in combating human trafficking and exploitation, became involved recently. And “Star Wars” actor John Boyega tweeted that hearing his neighbors express their support for the NHS was “beautiful.”

They did not release a timeline for staffing the convention center, one of the largest in the nation with 720,000 square feet of exhibition space.UNITED NATIONS — Eight countries under unilateral sanctions urged U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday to request the immediate and complete lifting of these measures to enable the nations to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

AP, is that the official party line of the CCP? ShillingforChina

meghankwelsh Tired of all this “winning?” MAGADeathCult

FALSE. AP is incredibly irresponsible and incompetent for assuming any data from China is accurate. We all know better. UK scientists report the real number of cases in China exceeds 1.2 million.

Thanks to NYC leaders.

China travel ban was feb 1.... Oh crap, that must mean he is racist, tight?

82000就想冒充世界第一☝️,估計連“清零國”的復發數都趕不上。

That happens when a country allows the free access to weapons and restricts the free or subsidize access to healthcare. Assume the consequences USA.

Thats why the Smokescreen with Venezuela and Maduro. The most curios think is that Colombia is the cocain producer, but the scapegoat is other country. Seems like a joke, but no.

MAGA

BSkylstad I hope the USA pulls through this quickly, this Chinese virus is utterly disgusting. The West needs to wake up, to China, Russia and the Middle Eastern countries that hate us. We need to stop immigration from these countries, after this plague. Wet market or Lab!

KTLA So so sad with all this misleading information I’m not surprised the numbers are growing. Now the President is threatening more lives for the sake of these businesses makes no sense to me if everyone or dead.🥺😩😢😭

Lol if you believe China’s numbers. US population 327 million and China is 1.5 Billion. It is impossible to believe their numbers.

LizaLLucas Only because we’ve done the most testing of anyone in the world thanks to realDonaldTrump. If everyone in China were properly tested it would be a different statistic. Can you believe JoeBiden criticized him for stopping flights from China? Heaven forbid if Joe was President 😳

He promised to make America great again and he did.

Winning

4030lisa America First

The United States always wants to be first in everything. Congratulations. 👍👍👍

Probably because no one wants to listen and keeps licking toilets and going to beaches.

There always going to, because abalaleli and they have a knob for a President.

'Merica first! 👍

Woohoo, We're 1! No, seriously, though I work in a grocery store and I am scared

Era de esperarse. Ellos siempre quieren ser los número uno en todo.

APe has to write something gloomy - that the world is coming to an end! Fake news at its best - lies and more fake news!

EITMonline This is because of realDonaldTrump's complete ineptitude (and in case you don't know what that word means, Donald... it means you don't know your ass from your elbow).

Thanks China....

Awesome leaders are gonna awesome lead

So this means we are testing more people than anyone else right? 😐

philnurenberg But hey, let’s get everything opened up and back to work to climb those numbers.

KeithOlbermann What needs to happen is for realDonaldTrump to visit NYC & speak to the doctors & nurses in person. Because if something isn't done quickly like a full national lock down coronavirus is going to make a house call near you. If doctors & nurses are worried we should be to.

He’ll probably say it’s fake news. You know, because Johns Hopkins is not in the same league as Trump University...

KeithOlbermann Enough with the rhetoric, realDonaldTrump ... enough with the self-congratulating... enough with the lying... Americans are getting sick and dying. The USA now leads the world in confirmed cases, despite such a low test rate. Stop saying and start actually doing a good job.

Yes, because you have an accurate number from China 🤪😂

Kinda glad

It’s being “controlled” by not testing the sick!

USA!!!

Per capita would be a more useful figure

I’m tired of the winning we were promised. Can we get the taco truck lady now?

GatorDave_SEC

More than 15 that trump said would be the max.

Trump’s ‘Vietnam’. What, you tell me, he skived Vietnam too? WTF 🤦🏻‍♂️ Well, get PresidentCuomo in there. And quick!

KHQLocalNews Winning !

But we still don't have as many deaths.

955KLOS What would have happened under Obama? Would it have been different? How?

Trump supports looking this like

Congrats idiot POTUS realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse.America is 1st in something.U keep saying'no one has ever done what u've done b4'-u'r damn right.Waste matter is more useful than u-cc BillClinton BarackObama HillaryClinton JoeBiden NYGovCuomo Lawrence

Which also means realDonaldTrump has handled the coronavirus pandemic WORSE than any other world leader

If you ain't first you're last guys.

Trump Feb. 26: “Because of all we’ve done, the risk to the American people remains very low. … When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done.' TrumpLiesAmericansDie BunglerInChief

But Trumps want to open up the country🤦‍♂️

😱

Ah, yes, some of that American Exceptionalism.

and idiot trump wants to start up AFTER easter😮😔😒😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡😠😡

Bitch, theres more than that.

somuchwinning Wonder how many senators would go back and change their impeachment vote.

I may have been living under a rock I guess. Cuz I missed the part where Donald Trump flew over China and sneezed....starting this whole epidemic off. Everything is his fault I guess. 🤷‍♂️ right my liberal friends?

realDonaldTrump We're number 1! Aren't you so proud? All that winning right? Making America great again RIGHT!?! TrumpIsANationalSecurityThreat 25thAmendmentNow

Boooo! Trump disappointing

KeithOlbermann And that's just known cases. Testing is backlogged.

We are the greatest!

KeithOlbermann WE'RE 1! WE'RE 1!

Upssssss

“WE ARE NUMBER ONE! WE WILL NEVER LOSE TO CHINA”— realDonaldTrump

winning

Our country is several times bigger than most of the effected countries!

KeithOlbermann

I smoke weed with a guy named John Hopkins

And we are just now getting people tested to find out the numbers. Let that sink in....

Imagine if we were actually testing

Nice big numbers! trumpmath

KeithOlbermann That's misleading though. Because you need to compare similar geographical areas. So a better comparison would be China vs Europe vs the US and of course Europe would then be the worst ever.

KeithOlbermann Is America great yet?

i try very hard not to bash the administration because i think it should be respected no matter who’s at the helm. and i won’t start bashing now but i don’t think corona wasn’t taken seriously. precautions were not taken at the onset

KeithOlbermann Are we tired of winning, yet?! ..

Yeah and we arw the 3rd most populous, most wealthy, which in turn, has most worldly travelers, land of the free where we are democratically governed so we don't force isolation like China so yeah it makes sense

JosephGetti Hey realdonaldtrump you're finally winning!!! Way to go!! Woo!

It’s a hoax Trump said

KeithOlbermann Donald, how do you feel to be the president of 82,000 Coronavirus cases in our Nation? OWN IT!

Mexico would probably freely pay for THE WALL at this point considering their corona numbers are at (only) 475 cases while USA is at 83K and rapidly increasing

KeithOlbermann So tired of all the winning. trumpvirus

There’s more cases then that. 🤷🏽‍♀️ not everyone is able to be tested so the ’s they release every day aren’t 100% accurate.

Not Trump University?

As a result of more testing presumably.

KeithOlbermann So is this the winning the Orange Menace kept promising? Are we great yet?

YEAH WE DO!

KeithOlbermann But we’re Mericans! We don’t believe the hype...

Damn, lotta dems getting in on this hoax... Some are really committed to it. Idk if I could die for a hoax. That's committment.(sarcasm) Why the fuck are people still arguing about it here though?! (Not sarcasm)

KeithOlbermann Exactly what this 'We can do whatever we want!' society wants.

KeithOlbermann Trump

Remember when trump said it was a hoax?

If you believe China’s numbers are accurate. You know how honest and transparent communist countries are right?

barbls23

KeithOlbermann How long are Americans going to wait to this out before they explode?

We’re fucked but what’s new by this point. I’m not even surprised

Finally, AmericaFirst under realDonaldTrump's administration.

This is a disaster!

MAGA

So they went from 15 to zero and then back up to 81,000? Wow who would of thought that would happen ?

FML

And to think, tRump wanted to prevent the Princess from docking to keep numbers down. What a moron.

They aren’t even testing people not in the intensive care in the Midwest so the numbers are way off, I’m betting it’s off by as much as 80%

Our orange idiot will be so proud, hes got the mostest biggestest of the number of things

kuljeet__ Under the leadership of realDonaldTrump, America is now 1, in death rate in the world in time of COVID19.

Just the flu? Grandparents die for economy? It’s fake news? CNN msn hoax

You wouldn’t know it from the sunny outlook given by the president and vp🥵

Yes galing talaga USA 🇺🇸 di patatalo sa China 🇨🇳

There's only going to be an ever increasing number of American deaths from this while dumbass is in charge. Remove him & save lives.

Bitch how is that possible

KTLA Especially since China stopped reporting new cases a month ago. Also US is by far the largest country and the most travelled from international markets making it succeptible. Those are the reasons this headline is true. Not bc of bad HC or bc it surpassed China

KTLA Thanks pepl for not being quarantined

The USA can account this on Trump.

Anyone else tired of all this winning?

🤦🏾‍♀️

This is all Tony’s fault!

We lead the world , it won’t even be close due to the lag time in our resoonse , that’s on our govt , in particular That Moron in WH !

COVID-19: Your move, realDonaldTrump

Congrats to realDonaldTrump for his accomplishments! Well done. Now we are on the lead of Coronavirus cases!

China has 4x the people, but I rarely see a pic where citizens aren't wearing masks (maybe orig pollution driven), not big handshakers/huggers?, and their society respects/cares for seniors (offspring can be sue if care is not provided)

America forever number 1

AprilDRyan We're 1. MAGA TrumpVirus winning

Not ideal

Tired of winning?

ShannaPettegre1 realDonaldTrump R E S I G N

ShannaPettegre1 And that is with half ass testing.

Winning

ReignOfApril And this is owed to realDonaldTrump and his decision to not take preventive measures in January whe he first was briefed on this virus.

So what! Just because you have had it doesn’t mean anything! Number of cases doesn’t=deaths.

Thanks trump

China’s numbers

LuckyE_13 Well Daffy Drumpf always only cared about being number one at anything

We ain’t never going outside

AMERICA FIRST, JAJAJA

USA! USA! Sure China had a 2 month head start and a population 4 times as big as ours... but we’ve got realDonaldTrump and GOP and in that end, it’s all we needed.

touiter Understesting and with a 1/4 of the population of China. Very promising!

how this make you trumpsters feels...hmmmmm he doing good job!!!! numbers 1 in deadly virus whataguy

It’s ok because Pelosi Coronavirus Plan Gives $300M in Taxpayer Money to Foreign Refugees

We’re number one because we’re able to test more people than any other country. 😏 weird where people’s mind goes with the simplest of things.

MAGA?

955KLOS USA Is 01

Impressive with our President leadership we made it to number one.

ValentinMoeller That's what Trump would say...

I don’t trust Johns Hopkins, Mike Bloomberg owns it.

We did it!

U.S.A. USA USA USA

TubbsShow GovofCO Damn! 'Math doesn't lie. Politicians do!' She also goes on to say (in total contradiction of GovofCO statements): 'no exponential spread/growth'

This is America 💪

AP should watch Dr Brix, stop the fear mongering.

I thought we had to calculate on a per capita basis? Did we change that rule again, or is a fact checker going to say you’re lying?

Effectively now called the American virus.

Ok well isn’t our population bigger?

Congratulations America.

What to expect next from trump

EITMonline No one likes you

BIGLY NUMBERS!!!

antwanstaley First off we are testing more than China..second you can’t confirm China’s s cause they love giving out fake news!! We should send all of the fake news media outlets to China. China’s government would love you guys!!

MAGAts say “we’re 1”

AprilDRyan Way to go trump.

Trump always wants us to be number one!

USA! USA! Haha no I'm kidding we are seriously in a bad way you guys

It’s Donald’s fault- he did this to us. Incompetent, ignorant, and indecisive. Covid19 TrumpVirus

It will be down to zero in a couple of days....like a miracle WinningBigly

America is so great right now, huh Trump weirdos?

Trump want you bring up those death 's too. Don't celebrate too soon.

AprilDRyan Mr president is this is a hoax or something that the Dems started to mess with your election chances.

Trump's got it under control, so he says.

Trump said we would get tired of winning

camoxendale Unconscionable

America loves being 1

I'm really excited for this to be over by Easter, just like dear leader says. Sarcasm

nessnitty And that’s just NBA players and people with severe symptoms

VoteForBernie get rid realDonaldTrump not even the virus like him cause taste bad 🤢🤢🤢🤢

I, for one, am tired of all this winning.

trump accomplished his goal of making America 1

Thanks! BREAKING

antwanstaley Big Beautiful Wall

realDonaldTrump Are we winning yet? No, you and your Administration are complete failures. Oh, and how’s that great economy?

🥳

Imagine how large that number might be if every person that should be tested was able to get tested.

Yeah cause China has been so transparent Sick and disgraceful what they have done.

America has 325 million people. How many people live in italy or korea?

USA ganando la carrera. Que lástima con ese presidente que vela más por la economía que por la vida

EITMonline And it will all be good by Easter hahahaha....

Yeah, China only had 80K. 🤔

China probably has the most cases. They cannot be trusted to actually report their numbers

No Shit!Just shows you that the U. S. Is testing more.

I knew that we would get tired of winning. Once again Trump has proven what it means with his AmericaFirst philosophy.

TheCrimsonWhite

joereedy jballio

Congrats Donald

This is expected and second on the list will soon be the UK unfortunately. Remember, when people were getting infected other folks thought it was a hoax.

And we're still not really testing so that number is probably much higher.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Most dangerous hot spots of COVID19 in the world are the countries that conduct little or no tests like Japan. Japanese Abe government covers up the truth by manipulation. Europe and US that conduct proper test and treatment will soon overcome COVID19 crisis.

Congrats President Garbage, we're closing in on Italy's numbers of deaths.

As of 3/26/20, the US has more known cases than any other country realDonaldTrump You need to do more than your FKNG L I E S. More people will die. Their blood will be on your hands.

Why is America always lead in every detail?

Winning!

CaitrionaPerry But of course it’s going to be solved in 2 weeks. How did we get these idiots in charge.

Making America Great Again!

Thank you, Mr. President ! We couldn't have done it without your leadership.

realDonaldTrump FYI

1 in every 4,000 Americans

Fake News

So much winning

We also have one of the largest populations Confirmed cases will go up as people are tested Yawn

GatorDave_SEC We’re number 1! We’re number 1!

I'm sick of winning. Trump must be endowed special powers!

I KNEW WE COULD DO IT! 🇺🇸 I NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING 🇺🇸 SO MUCH FURTHER TO GO 🇺🇸 MAGA 🇺🇸 AMERICA FIRST 🇺🇸 sundayservice EASTER 🇺🇸

Jrlvr88 ERADICATE the TRUMP VIRUS!!!

USA!USA! We're No. 1

Most dangerous hot spots of COVID19 in the world are the countries that conduct little or no tests like Japan. Japan covers up the truth by manipulation. Europe and US that conduct proper test and treatment will soon overcome COVID19 crisis.

GatorDave_SEC Key word is confirmed.

.realDonaldTrump You did it! maga kag

If you still trust the Chinese Data you need your heads examined. 600k of exported COVID19Test Kits from China sent to help Spain have been found to be faulty.

So, america stays winning?

Lots of leaders dropped the ball on both political sides. From the President down to the Mayor of New Orleans allowing Mardi Gras to go on to the leaders in the Dept. of Health in New York urging the public to celebrate LunarNewYear.

Only trump could bring us to this victory! He's 1 at spreading the coronavirus! This is a proud moment for him. Congrats to our commander and crashdummy! BTW.... How's that MAGA thing working out?

KTLA realDonaldTrump ...so proud of you Mr. President,,, great job 👏🏼we’re winning again! 👏🏼. 🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿

Way to go, President Trump!

Winning!

KTLA 'leads' doesn't mean 'winning' nor that we're '1' in anything. My county has over 3 million people and we've only tested a bit over 3,000. This has NOTHING to do with 'great testing numbers' as realDonaldTrump tries to assert.

We’re 1! We’re 1!

Always Winning

so much winning

So sad but not at all unexpected to see the US pass China with pos’v cases. Soon they’ll also surpass Italy & Spain with the of deaths. If Trump Admin hadn’t ignored timelines in their Pandemic Playbook they’ve had since 2016, many lives could’ve been saved. tragic

AprilDRyan Woohoo!! Congrats realDonaldTrump, you’ve taken us to top! Save us all, RESIGN!

imagine if they actually tested people

Thanks Don

Stay Safe Everyone coronavirus

So sad

SpreadThatBitch

Damn we win at everything

WE ARE FUCKED

AprilDRyan Trumps thinks that is a good things, he will mention this as he also talks about how China is paying tariffs.

Winning!!

Anything to secure his re-election. The funny part is that if donald had just turned everything on and actually tried to save the country he would have probably won his re-election in a landslide. But nope that is not the case. He needs to be voted out.

We’re 1 TrumpVirusCoverup TrumpVirus2020 TrumpMadness

America first huh

AprilDRyan We are literally sick from winning...

America First?

AprilDRyan Good. Test, test, test is our best way out of this!

FYI realDonaldTrump COVID19

Haven't seen anything yet. Just saying...

Going for gold. Does trump realize this isn't something we want to win at?

AprilDRyan Yet the president leave early to avoid questions

Of course we do. We've tested more people than any other country.

Consider our populous. And the stupidity therein.

Remember when KellyannePolls said it was contained? coronavirus

AprilDRyan CillizzaCNN ChrisCuomo Why are your numbers different?

On feb 24 the USA had 50 cases and trump told us all the disease was “very much under control”
