The United States is now the land with the high number of confirm case , the high number of new everyday cases , and , unfortunately , the highest number of people who have died of COVID-19 , the disease stimulate by the new coronavirus , SARS - CoV-2 . The datum take in by theJohn Hopkins COVID-19 resource centerpaints a desolate picture for the North American country .
As of today , April 13,US cases figure 558,999 , or 30 percent of all world-wide cases since the disease became live at the end of December 2019 . The number of new cases in the US was 28,917 higher than the totality of Europe , which number 25,573 and had , since February , been the epicenter of the pandemic .

The United States Department of State of New York has been in particular hard off , with over 100,00 cases corroborate – more cases than any other country , except the US . It was report last week thatHart Island , New York City ’s renowned burial land for people who decease with no fuck next of kin , has had an increment in burials since March as the pandemic became progressively more widespread .
