Deaths From Coronavirus Continue To Grow Across Nation

Death from the Coronavirus pandemic continue to grow around the world. But out of over 150 countries where the virus has gone, the United States has about 10% of the worldwide deaths.

Why is that? Our doctors and nurses are as good as any in the world. The truth is that the United States federal government waited far too long to take the pandemic seriously.

The first person to get sick with the Coronavirus was on January 16th. He was diagnosed on January 20th. Trump did not issue his travel ban until January 31st -- 11 days later. By then, the virus was already in the U.S. and spreading.

The Trump administration did not take the virus seriously and begin to take action until deep in March -- far too late to stem the tide of the virus. Now we are still trying to play catch-up, and the virus continues to spread -- and people continue to die.

The chart below shows how the deaths have increased in just three days. The first number is the number of deaths on March 30th. The second number (in parentheses) 
is the number of deaths just three days later (April 2nd).

The numbers are from The COVID Tracking Project.
