The United States now has now overtaken Italy to have the highest death toll from coronavirus in the world.

The latest data, compiled by Johns Hopkins University, shows more than 20,000 people in the US have now died.

The grim milestone comes shortly after the US became the first nation to record more than 2,000 virus deaths in a single day.

The governor of New York Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday the state's death toll appeared to be stabilising.

Announcing a 24-hour figure of 783 new deaths, he noted the last several days had seen around the same number.

"That is not an all-time high, and you can see that the number is somewhat stabilising but it is stabilising at a horrific rate," Mr Cuomo said. "These are just incredible numbers depicting incredible loss and pain."

New York state has become the epicentre of the outbreak in the US, recording more than 180,000 of the country's nearly 530,000 cases.

As of Saturday, every single US state has declared a disaster in response to the outbreak.

A further 917 deaths were recorded in the UK, bringing the national total to 9,875
The Queen released an Easter message in which she says "coronavirus will not overcome us"
The Spanish health ministry reported 510 further deaths - the lowest number recorded there for almost three weeks
Deaths in France and Italy increased but numbers of patients in intensive care dropped again
There are reports that the Indian prime minister has agreed to extend lockdown measures
More than 100,000 have now died with the virus around the world since the pandemic broke out in China in December.

What is the latest across the US?
As of early Sunday, Italy had reported 19,468 coronavirus deaths while the US had 20,608, according to the Johns Hopkins tally.

There are now at least 529,951 recorded cases of Covid-19 across the US.

Dr Anthony Fauci, US infectious diseases chief, has said the country is "starting to see the levelling off and coming down" of cases and deaths but says mitigation efforts such as social distancing should not be pulled back yet.

Federal social distancing recommendations, issued by President Donald Trump, are currently in place until 30 April.

The president is facing twin pressures from the outbreak: with at least 16 million jobs lost in recent weeks as virus restrictions cripple the country's economy.

I don't know what Trump was thinking when this thing started in Wuhan last December.

Have you seen the figures? Take time to study them...China's numbers are a bit suspicious. It could be they are not giving out the right info

While some are massively contracting covid 19 China is massively celebrating their recovery from it.

China has < 1,200 active cases compared to USA having about 500,000.

USA, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, China, UK, Iran....

Over 100,000 deaths!

Over 1.7 million infections!

Over 400,000 recoveries!

WHO were in China during the crisis same as many volunteers , citizens were present and Wuhan alone has almost the population of Lagos so all this Trump hogwash about Chinese suspicious play holds no water

Bro, its super suspicious. China's recovery rate is off the charts. This means one of two things:
1. Its either they have the vaccine and are not willing to share or
2. They are under-reporting and not giving the actual figures. Remember, WHO used China's data to give assessment on the pandemic earlier this year forgetting the fact that the Regime in China is not known to be completely honest for sharing information with the world.
