The United States recorded 1,169 COVID-19 fatalities in a single day, the Johns Hopkins University tracker showed Thursday, the highest one-day death toll recorded in any country since the global pandemic began.

The toll reflected figures reported by the university between 8:30pm Wednesday (0030 GMT) and the same time Thursday.

The grim record was previously held by Italy, where 969 people died on March 27.

The US has now recorded around 6000 coronavirus deaths since the pandemic began.

Trump changes his position on masks

US President Donald Trump's istration appeared to local officials on Thursday in advising Americans to wear masks when venturing out during the still-exploding coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking at a White House briefing, Deborah Birx, a member of Trump's coronavirus task force, said the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would issue guidelines in the coming days on the use of face coverings.

Birx however cautioned that Americans, who have been onished to stay at home except for essential outings, should not develop a "false sense of security" that they are fully protected from the respiratory illness by wearing a mask.

Trump, answering questions from reporters at the same briefing, said only that "if people want to wear them, they can."

Lack of resources

In New York City, the center of the US outbreak, Mayor Bill de Blasio urged residents to wear face coverings, citing studies showing that the virus can be transmitted by infected people who are showing no symptoms.

"What that means is when you put on that face covering you're protecting everyone else," de Blasio said. The Democratic mayor suggested New Yorkers use scarves or other home-made masks because medical-grade protective gear was in short supply.

An emergency stockpile of medical equipment maintained by the US government has nearly run out of protective garb for doctors and nurses.

In New York City, where at least 1,400 people have been killed by the virus, hospitals and morgues struggled to treat the desperately ill and bury the dead.

New York City funeral homes and cemetery directors described a surge in demand not seen in decades as cases sured 50,000 in the city.

Crematories extended their hours and burned bodies into the night, with corpses piling up so quickly that city officials were looking elsewhere in the state for temporary interment sites.

It is due to the DNR order in place

Do Not Resuscitate

And we thought Italy was bad..

As in that was scary to read yesterday.

Is the chloroquine not working?

Africa is not prepared.

If there is no twist of fate.

Hundreds of millions will die in Africa.

Now I understand why an expert projected 45 million deaths in Nigeria over a month ago.

Lai have also instructed that corpses will not be released.

Seems Buhari led Govt is ready for mass burials already.

Edited: These people quoting to insult me and talking about being negative and trash,

None of you have given a tangible reason why this virus will not kill Africans. Italy did more than this but look at them now.

Don't get prepared.. Be waiting for imaginary luck

They know what they are doing

We should ask ourselves why COVID 19 is not lethal in places without 5g coverage like Lagos ?

is this not the same corona people are recovering from and being discharged in Nigeria. Something is not right. RIP to the dead

GamalNasser:


They know what they are doing

I agree with you

They know

Back in the days, those that lived abroad used to be afraid of those that lived in the village......But lately, those abroad are like a scare crow to my people in the Village..

Covid 19 has turned the table around now..

There is more to this corona theory

May God Almighty come to our aid.

I think so. The virus is real but the rate of infection is artificial..

This might be a political game to world leaders.

Life has returned back to normal in Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus.. Infact, China are the one now restricting foreigners from entering their country

Uhm... Gbese

US turn........ 5G running things now

Sophiscated country

Tomorrow they will brag as the world most powerful country
Thank God say our own death Na just two almost a month now.

Meanwhile Nigeria is better that US

Should I say in of coronavirus or what...

Say what??!?!

When will the death rate peak and start decreasing? As long as we keep the stay-at-home order, we should avoid this kind of fate.

Please people, no be by force you have to go out and buy fresh vegetables, rice, or bread. Eating garri and beans for a week is OK. Boring, yes, but might save your life.

This is absolutely insane

Ahhhhh

Lobatan.

Can we say God is angry with America for their evil deeds....

That is terrible... May God save Africa.

Let's just forget about this year 2020.. it's a waste, cos I don't see the world returning to normalcy before October

Nawa for this COVID19 ooo. Hmmm, na God hand Naija dey with so many people who may be potentially infected with the virus but untested.
God help us all.

You better cherish what you have
And God always takes care of his own

Some fools will quote me that

My answer is God chose Israel among all tribes of the earth

That's why we are special
