Reported U.S. Coronavirus Deaths Reach Record 4,591 in 24 Hours

The number of reported deaths in the U.S. from the new coronavirus spiked to nearly double the prior record Thursday, as governors extended their lockdown orders, and the Trump administration released new federal guidelines to reopen the economy.

In the 24 hours ending at 8 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, 4,591 people were reported to have died from Covid-19, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University. The prior record was 2,569 on Wednesday.

The number of new reported U.S. cases, meanwhile, was roughly equal with that on Wednesday at 31,451.

In total, there have been more than 671,000 coronavirus cases and 33,000 deaths in the U.S., according to Johns Hopkins. Globally, confirmed cases of the virus have reached more than 2.15 million, with the number of deaths world-wide topping 144,000.

We'd have to look at the state counts. I thought I heard on the radio, while running errands, that AZ jumped. I've not time to check yet.

There are parts of the country that were infected much later than others. There were different responses as a result. It may be that some states that looked 'ready to open' won't quite be. The trick will be to flatten that curve much quicker than the East did, but looks like everyone knows that now.
