Coronavirus deaths surpasses 10 thousand
As the official U.S. death toll surpassed 10,000 — standing at 10,217, including 4,758 in New York — Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams warned that this will be “the hardest and saddest week of most Americans’ lives.”
President Trump, however, struck a more optimistic tone about the novel coronavirus pandemic, saying Sunday that “we’re starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.”
Here are some significant developments:
New York, the nation’s coronavirus epicenter, might be experiencing a “flattening of the curve,” Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) said.
The state reported 599 new deaths, on par with Sunday’s death count of 594 and down from 630 on Saturday. “The death toll has been “effectively flat for two days,” Cuomo said.
“While none of this is good news, [it] is better than the increases we have seen.”
Spain has been ravaged by the virus, but the rate of new infections is slowing. And while officials said Monday that 637 people had died in the previous 24 hours, it was Spain’s lowest number of deaths in two weeks.
“These figures confirm the downward trend and stabilization,” Health Minister Santiago Illa said.
Italy also reported its lowest numbers in three weeks, announcing 3,599 new cases, the lowest daily increase since March 17, bringing the number of cases in the hard-hit country to 132,547.
Italy also announced 636 deaths, increasing the toll in the country to 16,523, the highest in the world.
U.S. and global stock markets soared as investors took in overseas progress against the coronavirus. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped more than 900 points, or 4 percent, at the opening bell Monday.
The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index and the Nasdaq composite index also moved steeply higher.
U.S. hospitals are facing “severe” and widespread shortages of personal protective equipment, ventilators, testing supplies and staff, according to a newly released watchdog report from the Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.
With the outbreak accelerating in Japan’s largest cities, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he will declare a state of emergency in seven prefectures this week.
People will be asked to stay indoors, but no legal penalties will be imposed for noncompliance.
