This brings to over 93,400 the total number of deaths deplored in the country, by far the most mourning in the world in absolute terms, where some 1.55 million cases have been recorded since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

93,400 deaths deplored in the country in total

This brings to over 93,400 the total number of deaths deplored in the country, by far the most mourning in the world in absolute terms, where some 1.55 million cases have been recorded since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. More than one in four victims of the coronavirus worldwide has died in America, the disease having caused the death of more than 326,000 people in total, according to an AFP count from official sources.

New York State alone accounts for almost a third of the deaths deplored in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University, which updates its data continuously. 

20,000 new cases per day

After having regularly crossed the 2,000 daily death bar between the beginning of April and the beginning of May, the United States has not crossed this sad threshold for more than ten days, and has even repeatedly fallen below 1,000 deaths in one day these last two weeks. But if the number of new infections recorded each day is no longer as high as in mid-April, the country continues to diagnose some 20,000 new cases of Covid-19 daily (+23,600 between Tuesday and Wednesday).
