The United States recorded 1,169 COVID-19 fatalities in the past 24 hours, the Johns Hopkins University tracker showed on Thursday (Apr 2), the highest one-day death toll recorded in any country since the global pandemic began. The grim record was previously held by Italy, where 969 people died on Mar 27.

The US has now recorded 5,926 coronavirus deaths since the start of the pandemic.

Globally, Italy still has the highest total death toll, with 13,915 dying of the disease there, followed by Spain at 10,003.

The US also recorded more than 30,000 new cases of COVID-19 in the same 24-hour period, bringing the total number of officially reported cases in the country to more than 243,000, according to Johns Hopkins.

1. With Trump suppressing testing,

I wonder what the real numbers are?

[Delphinus]

9. In my county,

Allen, of Indiana, we have had 359 tests and 57 positives from that. I am guessing we're not doing a ton of testing.

[Squinch]

2. I think we'll be having new global daily highs for some time.

And we really blew past the record, didn't we?

[Steelrolled]

15. Yeah, I think the headline writers are going to have to use a little creativity.

3. As Hilary said

Trump did promise America First ....

4. With regard to percent of population... how does the US compare?

5. Deaths/1M people: Italy 243, Spain 234, USA 20.

Deaths/Reported Cases: Italy 12.3%, Spain 9.3%, USA 2.5%

6. I think our nation is in for a HUGE SHOCK!

It's coming and it's going to be devastating.

[Stuart G]

7. Yes, I agree with you...That shock will be "devastating" & very sad.

11. I sent these numbers to my sister and she said,

"We have a much bigger problem" when I compares the US to our family in Italy. This is going to be so terrible for a long time.

[BigmanPigman]

10. I was thinking that I wish they would put amounts from

all countries into both numbers and percentages of the population to be able to make real comparisons.

The United States suffered 1,169 deaths related to the coronavirus pandemic in 24 hours, breaking a new record for the most fatalities any country has reported in a day and pushing the total death toll to over 6,000. The previous record was set in Italy on March 27, when it reported 969 new coronavirus deaths in one day at the height of its outbreak, although Italy is obviously a much smaller country. The Johns Hopkins University coronavirus pandemic tracker shows that 6,058 people have now died in the U.S. and 245,573 have tested positive. Global cases shot to over a million on Thursday and over 53,000 people have died.

13. CNN headline was close to 1500 now

That would be almost 500 more than yesterday

[BigmanPigman]

14. Book mark this link...very useful!

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

The numbers are up to date from all countries...
It says 1,321 new deaths and 7,392 new cases yet we are below Italy, Spain and France as far as deaths per 1 million people.

Italy's....243
Spain's...240
France's...100
Belium's...99
Holland's...87

USA's...22

And our numbers are heading almost steight along their paths. When you at percentages it is fucking scary where the Us is going.
