US coronavirus death toll tops 50,000 with another 2,416 killed in 24 hours as number of confirmed cases rises by near-record amount to hit 890,000 An additional 2,416 US coronavirus deaths were confirmed as of Thursday night, bringing the total to 50,442 Confirmed cases rose by 34,828 bringing the total cases across the nation to 891,622, data also shows That daily death toll was just shy of a peak of 2,524 deaths on April 15; the record rise in cases was on April 10 The U.S. has both the highest number of confirmed cases in the world and the highest death toll It comes as a new study has claimed coronavirus was spreading silently through US cities including New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and Seattle in February when the world was worried only about China The death toll in the United States from the coronavirus topped 50,000 Thursday evening as the number of confirmed cases rose by a near-record amount to hit more than 891,000. An additional 2,416 deaths were confirmed, bringing the total to 50,442. Confirmed cases rose by 34,828 bringing the total cases across the nation to 891,622. That daily death toll was just shy of a peak of 2,524 deaths in a single day on April 15. The record daily rise in coronavirus cases was on April 10 when the number jumped by 35,579. The U.S. has both the highest number of confirmed cases in the world and the highest death toll. A predictive model relied on by the White House this week increased its projection of expected deaths by August by 10 per cent to 66,000. The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation now expects the national death toll to hit 65,976 by August - 5,561 more than previously forecast. Despite the peak in deaths and confirmed cases, states are still looking at easing lockdowns in a bid to kick start the economy again. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said Wednesday the state will begin to reopen Friday with barbershops, hair and nail salons, pet groomers and spas back in business. Others, including restaurants and movie theaters, can reopen within 10 days, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said Wednesday. Oklahoma joins Colorado, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas in restarting their economies. It comes after President Donald Trump last week gave the nation's governors his road map for how the US can reopen businesses and schools shut down by the coronavirus. The guidelines suggest that states should record two weeks of declining cases before reopening. None of the states that are reopening have yet to record such a decline. Public health experts have warned the US could be headed for a 'perfect storm' of new virus infections as the southern states form a coalition to reopen the economy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8252289/US-coronavirus-death-toll-tops-50-000-2-416-killed-24-hours.html
