The coronavirus death toll in the United States has surpassed 12,000 mark as the nation entered the toughest stage during COVID-19 outbreak on March 8, 2020.<\/p>\n
As of today, the American Government has reported 400,412 coronavirus infection cases and 12,854 death cases.<\/p>\n
The US is reporting highest number of COVID-19 infection cases than any country in the world, and trials only Italy and Spain in number of deaths.<\/p>\n
However, experts claim that the true impact of the contagion is still uncertain with the lack of widespread and reliable testing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
New York with the best COVID-19 testing facilities has tested over 320,000 people. However, the ratio of tests to positive cases is less than 3:1 and is far low than the ratio suggested by the WHO.<\/p>\n
“If 80-90% of the people test positive, you are probably missing a lot of cases,” exclaimed Michael Ryan, the WHO Executive Director for Emergencies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Meanwhile, the government officials stated that there are favourable signs in the combat against COVID-19, especially due to the aggressive mitigation measures implemented by the US.<\/p>\n
There is a slowdown in the number of new coronavirus cases in the USA. On April 5, 2020, the nation reported over 25,000 new COVID-19 cases against the record 34,000 cases reported the day before.<\/p>\n
Even in New York, the epicentre of coronavirus outbreak in the USA, the number of infections and deaths dropped for the first time.<\/p>\n
