Monday marked the lowest number of coronavirus-related fatalities in the U.S. in two weeks, just days after the number of deaths had spiked to 4,591 in a single day. According to Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. lost 1,433 people to coronavirus on April 20, adding to the overall death toll of 42,364.
According to the data, nearly 93 percent of all U.S. deaths from the pandemic have occurred in the past three weeks, 44 percent of which have occurred over the last seven days. But after several sharp spikes last week, the number seems to be slowing, with the data reflecting an average of 600 less deaths than previous days.
The news comes as several states begin cautiously plotting out plans to slowly reopen businesses as early as the end of this week. Georgia, which as of Tuesday had 19,398 cases and at least 774 deaths, will reopen gyms, hair salons and other businesses beginning on Friday.

42,364 Deaths in America from the novel coronavirus in the United States! (Fox News, 21 April 2020)
Zero proof that anyone has gotten Covid from using the outdoors, yet so many little dictators are closing beaches and hiking trails. Insanity. People will get sick. It’s going to happen-always has. We need to open up with no restrictions today.
Exactly what the Israeli scientist has found. Countries with lockdowns have done no better than countries without lockdowns. Dont believe it? Check out Swedens no lockdown record.
We have destroyed our economy listening to Fauci & Brix and the Democrats, who have been wrong on all their infamous models, and now are trying to take credit for saving the country. Talk about gall.
We likely took a lot of old and sick people who were going to die this year and compressed those deaths into a tight timeframe. Look for a drop in the overall death rate later in the year.
That’s great of course, but the most important data is the number of new cases....policy is based on that.
Worldmeters numbers vary from the J Hopkins numbers....1,900+ US deaths yesterday......which set do they use at the White House ?
As the weather gets warmer and sunnier, the Chicom Cooties will begin to fall away.
Maybe theyll find a few more death certificates to change the story. This feels like a lead up to an election...how will the public respond to certain numbers?
It will rise again and on that basis we cannot rest or remain silent.
All the shutdown did was extend the term, which includes pushing out some, if not many, deaths beyond what would have occurred anyway under a ‘no mitigation’ scenario.
This is the core of the lunacy behind the Covidiots criticizing the protests, that mitigation saved lives and that ending it will cost lives.
It’s pathological, this psychological illness which spawns such irrational logic under the label ‘progressive’...
Thanks, Chiller. I was about to make the same point. World omelet was around 1900 yesterday. Does anyone here know why theres the discrepancy?
Exactly. ...keep people inside...ensure more are sick...I hate this
If deaths have peaked, as I believe they have, then actual cases peaked about 3 weeks ago. Confirmed case counts don't show that - but confirmation is based on testing, which has been limited and nonrandom.
lol, Freudian slip?
