More than 10,000 deaths in Corona19 in the United States. In Korea, the number of confirmed patients is a little over 10,000. Less than 200 people died. I wonder how developed countries like the United States might have become like this. But in New York, where the situation is most severe in the United States, it is said that the death toll is at its peak.

Johns Hopkins University counted more than 10,000 deaths in Corona 19 in the United States. It has been 37 days since the first death on February 29, and 12 days since the death of 1,000.

The number of infected people increased to 350,000.

In New York State, where the situation was most severe, more than 130,000 people were infected and 4,700 were dead.

However, the increase in the number of deaths over the weekend has been analyzed as a positive sign. The number of deaths per day on Sunday decreased from 630 the day before to 594, and Monday remained at 599.

Governor Cuomo predicts that the outbreak is still nearing the peak, although it is still an emergency.

[Kuomo / New York Governor: The increase in deaths over the past two days has actually eased. The fact that the virus spread curve can be flat is better than the increase we have seen.]

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also predicted that this week will peak in the number of inmates and deaths in New York and New Jersey.

New York stocks soared as news of this spread.

All three major indices rose by over 7%, with the Dow index rising by 1,627 points and 7.73%.
