More than 100 000 Americans have died from coronavirus

More than 100 000 Americans have died from coronavirus. States continue to cautiously reopen their economies while attempting to control the number of new infections, hospitalizations and fatalities.


For example, in New York state, where almost 30,000 people have died, Long Island began reopening Wednesday, leaving New York City as the only area remaining essentially locked down. In California, barbershops and hair salons are being allowed to reopen across most of the state.


Globally, Brazil was fast becoming the pandemic’s latest epicenter. There are more than 5.6 million confirmed cases around the world, with nearly 1.7 million in the United States, according to the Johns Hopkins University data dashboard.
