as of Friday night, constituting almost one-third of all cases across the globe, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The virus, which emerged in December, has since spread to more than 1.5 million people in almost every country around the world. On Friday, the number of deaths caused by the coronavirusMeanwhile, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Saturday said hospitalizations seemed to be plateauing in New York state, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.
"The number of hospitalizations appears to have hit an apex, and the apex appears to be a plateau," he said. "The hospitalization rate is down, and that's important. We have more people getting infected still, we have more people going into the hospital, but we have a lower number... Fewer people are going into the hospitals, still net positive."
As of 1 p.m. Saturday, New York state had at least 174,489 confirmed cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Cuomo said the number of deaths in the state is stabilizing, but stabilizing "at a horrific rate." Looking at three-day averages, he said "all the numbers are on the downward slope." Though people are still getting infected and going into hospitals, he said they're doing so at a lower rate.
For ICU admissions, Cuomo said the three-day average is down, but said that figure might be misleading because where ICU sections were previously specified sections of a hospital, now entire hospitals are operating as ICUs.for an additional $500 billion in U.S. federal aid for states and territories grappling with the pandemic. They said in a statement that implementing stay-at-home orders and other public health measures have "resulted in catastrophic damage to state economies.
1 baby! That’s where all tha health care spending goes!
Highest “reported” deaths
USA is number one. But it is corona virus.
We also have 5.5 times the population
USA always trying to be number 1.
COMPLETELY. FAKE. NEWS. CDC guidelines have hospitals recording ALL deaths as Covid-19, even if there were other factors or pre-existing conditions. THAT is why we have the highest number! CoronaHoax CoronavirusPandemic
I do think that if China were a democracy, with credible numbers, they would have by far the number one place in deaths! 😉👊👊👊
Guess that Economically devastating quarantine isn’t doing anything good.
Well yeah, that's what would happen when they include people who died of other causes.
I just hope that Insurance Companies will surely payout to those lives that were lost. I’m not sure if “Pandemic” is on their portfolio, but I do hope any sickness related to that will be sufficient.
Yeah, and the USA is much bigger. You cant believe any other country, especially those under strong dictators.
And geniuses the USA has a much larger population.
China lied about their numbers though ?
We Won !
CNBC disappoints once again—-US population is al 6 times larger than Italy (40 times larger than Sweden) therefore one must expect more deaths—For a network focusing on numbers why would you publish such an inane& irrelevant statement?
And we are 360 million and Italy is less that 100 million
The WHO said not worry. The virus not contagious! Schumer doesn’t look to worried either.. Pelosi said come to Chinatown.. Virus no big deal! We must listen to Democrats and China? Hahahahahaha!
Probably not considering they don’t test every death, if they had similar symptoms it’s automatically Coronavirus
Fake news. So what is Italy's population?
FakeNews. We'll never know how many died in China, but I'd bet anything there are more dead there, and by a lot, caused by the ChinaVirus, than anywhere else in the world.
TRUMP HAS NEVER TAKEN HIS JOB AS PRESIDENT SERIOUSLY! HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN PROTECTING THE CONSITUTION OR AMERICAN PEOPLE. HIS PRIORITY ARE HIS OWN SELF-INTERESTS & $$$ SCHEMES THAT WILL PROMOTE THE INTERESTS OF HIS FAMILY, CRONIES, CAMPAIGN SUPPORTERS!
Yes, we actually keep a somewhat accurate accounting. Course if I have the virus and I get run over by a bus, I hear that I may have died by virus. At least according to Birx.
MAGA!
Fake news CNBC has no idea what the real death rate was and is in China. Best guess by some folks is substantially more based on cremation activity and sale of urns.
MAGA
MAGA
Italy has 60,000,000 people compared to 330,000,000 in the US. What a stupid comparison! Let’s look at percentages
It’s important and sad but not informative given we have 5.5 times the population.
Are you surprised? Really?
Undoubtedly Yes!
Percentage of populace is a better measure.
Well trump wanted to be first we are there☠️☠️☠️
Are you really sure we have more cases than China ? China's population is 4 x our population and they are not noted for their transparency .
America first says the President. And he is right.
But hey we’re in a bullmarket now, all is well...what a joke. Welcome to Corporate America.
america first
The US has almost SIX times the population. 328 million to 60
That’s what BillGates wanted...now he can bring the vaccine ....
Still not reporting how many people recovered. Anything to spread more fear, you know America has hundreds of thousands more people? I know you want America to fail, thought I should point out some simple things.
Impossible... our fearless leader said we had 11 cases and that it’s go to 0 within a week... this number is bogus!!! 👀
We should hit ath for stocks
JemmsCee2 And if you are a believer in Donald Trump - he wants to KEEP AMERICA GREAT. USPolitics uspoli DumpTrump
But those damn flu statistics keep getting in the way of Mr Covid. How many flu deaths this year and every year in the US.
No we don't. And if we do, it's because Italy is going back and revising wrongly diagnosed death certificates:
It is like comparing Italy and USA GDP. Shouldn’t context matter? Guess it doesn’t as long as your narrative is pushed. This kind of media bias only indicates some in media are complicit with Obama administration in their illegal and criminal spying of Trump campaign.
Remind me the population difference
Hey, 'America First' right?
Y’all need to get a job you can do with integrity or maybe go into professional wrestling—Report the facts about the respective populations of USA & ITALY when you speak on death tolls from the virus. This is why the public distrusts the anti-Trump media !
I read the comments carefully. Most people are still guiding public opinion and blaming other countries. I believe people with brains will know that the United States is still not doing its best to mobilize medical resources for the presidential election.
USA. USA. USA.
winning
Still 1/3 per capita of Europe
WINNING!
So much winning
More than China?
US 60 deaths per million. Italy 322 deaths per million. Canada 15 deaths per million. New Zealand 0.8 deaths per million. If only all our leaders were as smart and capable as New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.
Another bias news without Facts. US population 330 Million vs Italy 60 Million. Confirmed cases US 501,500 vs Italy 147,600. Percentage of death from confirmed cases US 3.76% (18,860 death) vs Italy 12.77% (18,849 death) per Johns Hopkins Numbers. corona virus
Congrats 45, were No.1..........
Trump loves breaking records. We’re No. 1
What is percentages vs other countries population?
It is almost like we have 5.5 times more people than them
Because China data is very reliable
In other news India has just 200 deaths 1.3 billion population.. n China 1.5 Billion 3300 deaths.
Thanks trump.
RobSnoekLIVE It would only be an issue if the President of the US actually gave a shit about those that died. I guarantee he's got his sack of dog shit family isolated nicely in their Bunker of Pink Sky reality.
ehh , yeah, we're number one! big numbers! Go trumpie! TrumpDepression TrumpVirusCoverupCostLives
So much winning!
If only there was a way to test for the virus...🤔
Per capita for context please. And us numbers include reported tested and probable (untested) and with and dying from. How is Italy defining ? And doesn’t matter
Why is the United States not willing to test until March? Why are there so many in the United States? Where does the virus really originate?
So much winning
Shame the numbers are inflated. Complete bs.
PatriotNews8 Fake newssss
Chinese National Broadcasting Company
This is bcz Pres was worried about the number one economy not for anyone's life. Covid_19 trumpcovidfails
Chinese propaganda
Most *REPORTED* deaths.
Happy now CNBC? Now you can blame T for it, you perv
Per capital should be noted in this headline. We crush them in pizza and pasta consumption too i'm sure in nominal number
In other news USA almost 6 times larger then Italy
So this means SPY $320 this week?
