According to data from Johns Hopkins University, Covid-19
claimed the lives of close to 1,900 Americans on Saturday, and the total death
toll from the virus topped 40,000 by Sunday afternoon (40,585 deaths to be
precise). Johns Hopkins University's Covid-19 tracker counts more than 742,000
coronavirus cases in the US and over 2.3 million worldwide.
Coronavirus testing in the US stands at 150,000 tests/day, and
Harvard researchers have warned that testing must go up to 500,000 people/day
if the US economy is to reopen in May. They also said the number of positive
tests must decrease, as 20% of those currently tested get positive results. The
World Health Organization recommends a 3% to 12% range of positive tests for
the economy to reopen.
