The United States just had its deadliest day on record due to the coronavirus as states across the country begin to ease restrictions meant to curb the spread of the virus, according to data published by the World Health Organization.
The U.S. saw 2,909 people die of Covid-19 in 24 hours, according to the data, which was collected as of 4 a.m. ET on Friday. That’s the highest daily Covid-19 death toll in the U.S. yet, based on a CNBC analysis of the WHO’s daily Covid-19 situation reports.
Before May 1, the next highest U.S. daily death toll was 2,471 reported on April 23, according to the WHO. State officials have previously warned that data on Covid-19 deaths are difficult to analyze because they often represent patients who became ill and were hospitalized weeks ago.
Representatives of the WHO did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
The country’s deadliest day comes as state officials weigh reopening parts of the economy and easing stay-at-home orders. Public health officials and epidemiologists have warned that as the public grows fatigued by restrictions and businesses reopen, the virus could spread rapidly throughout communities that have yet to experience a major epidemic.
Protesters in at least 10 states on Friday demanded that the government lift stay-at-home orders and other emergency measures put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Among the states that saw protests are California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee and Washington.
Dozens of states have unveiled reopening plans and several, including Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, have already begun to allow nonessential retailers to reopen.

SOME CAVEATS FROM THE ARTICLE:
The WHO data differs from data collected by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which does not report historical daily Covid-19 deaths. The CDC’s site says that 2,349 people died in the U.S. of Covid-19 on May 1.
However, the agency warns that its data might not be complete. CDC spokeswoman Kate Grusich told CNBC that the agency’s data is “validated through a confirmation process with jurisdictions.”
“CDC does not know the exact number of COVID-19 illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths for a variety of reasons,” the agency says, adding that asymptomatic patients, delays in reporting and limited testing make it difficult to accurately track the data.
Some cities, such as New York City, have struggled to gain a complete understanding of the Covid-19 death toll. Many patients die at home and others are attributed to heart attacks or other conditions that might have been exacerbated by Covid-19, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said last month.
Further complicating the system for reporting Covid-19 deaths is that the mortuary system in hard-hit cities like New York is overwhelmed by the surge of victims. Funeral homes, caught in the middle of the bottleneck, have had to store corpses in refrigerated trucks, or in some cases whatever storage unit they can find.
The CDC warns that all data right now is “provisional” and the agency might not have a more accurate count until December of next year.
Fearporn from the Chicoms.
“I’m not asking you WHO’s on second” . . .
How conveeeenient.
WHO appointed WHO as the official data guardian?
Is this the same WHO that we took $400 million away from?
Who made who, who made you?
Who made who, ain’t nobody told you?
Who made who, who made you?
If you made them and they made you
Who picked up the bill, and who made who?
Yeah
Who made who
Who turned the screw?
And I trust WHO not at all
More crap from the commie left.
I want to know how many of these deaths were from other things, I would like to know the TRUE death count from CV19 I don’t believe the fatality numbers being touted for this virus!!!
As my Jesuit priest who taught something while I was in High School would say to his students after hearing a far fetched excuse........”. it may be so, but I don’t know,,,,,,, it sounds like bull to me!!!!!”.
“The time between exposure to COVID-19 and the moment when symptoms start is commonly around five to six days but can range from 1 – 14 days.”

So how can people go from well to dead on the same day it is reported?
rwood
I believe nothing attributed from this organization....nothing.
They have an agenda.
And most of these deaths likely came from New York... Where they will be locked down until election day... Then the dead will come out to vote.
WHO’s on first.
CNBC/WHO the worst
Has nothing to do with reopening states. Mismanagement of 2 blue states is the reason.
PTB getting worried, people are losing interest in following orders.
