Virus deaths, unemployment accelerating across Europe, US

City workers fumigate a street to help contain the spread of the new coronavirus in La Paz, Bolivia, Thursday, April 2, 2020.

Worldwide the number of reported infections hit another gloomy milestone — 1 million, with more than 53,000 deaths, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University. But the true numbers are believed to be much higher because of testing shortages, many mild cases that have gone unreported and suspicions that some countries are covering up the extent of their outbreaks.

As the death toll grew, so did the economic fallout. New unemployment numbers showed the outbreak has thrown 10 million Americans out of work in just two weeks in the swiftest, most stunning collapse the U.S. job market has ever witnessed. At least a million people in Europe are estimated to have lost their jobs over the past couple of weeks. Spain alone added more than 300,000 to its unemployment rolls in March.

White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said U.S. infection data suggest Americans need to emulate those European nations that have started to see the spread of the virus slowing through strict social distancing.

New York Governor closes city playgrounds to combat virusNew York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered the closure of all playgrounds in New York City on Wednesday in an effort to bolster social distancing and limit the number of coronavirus-related deaths, which are approaching 2,000 in the state. What the heck took them so long!?! Gradually realizing what realDonaldTrump tried to do a week ago was the right thing to do.... you need to quarantine New York... andrewcuomo Cuomo is doing well but he should apologize for his downplaying for danger of COVID19 in the early phase.

Social distancing may have helped California slow the virus and avoid New York's fateThe coronavirus continues to spread rapidly in the Bay Area and Seattle, but so far at a rate slower than in the country&39;s other hot spots such as New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Louisiana. But that’s a stupid comparison. Nyc is a very very busy city with millions of people using public transportation and living on top of each other. California... not so much.
