Coronavirus updates: Deadliest day yet puts U.S. COVID-19 toll over 4,000

FAN Editor

The U.S. has seen a grim new record number of coronavirus deaths in a single day: At least 865 people lost their battles with the COVID-19 disease on Tuesday. Those fatalities put America’s death toll over 4,000 by Wednesday morning, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Italy, Spain, Britain and France also suffered their deadliest days as the pandemic continues to spread. In the United States, where almost 190,000 people have been diagnosed — more than any other nation — the White House has confirmed that its own modelling shows between 100,000 and 240,000 are likely to die before the crisis is over, even if people heed social distancing guidelines.

America’s top epidemiologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, says authorities will do everything in their power to prevent the toll from getting that high. But with hospitals and first responders in some regions already struggling to cope, President Trump warned the nation on Tuesday to brace for “a very bad” two or three weeks.
