The U.S. tally of confirmed coronavirus cases topped 400,000 on Wednesday, more than double any other country, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
America has now recorded more than one-in-four COVID-19 cases on the planet, and accounts for about 15% of the global death toll, according to the figures. More than 13,000 Americans have died.
On Wednesday, Spain had the second-most cases in the world (146,690), and Italy was grappling with the third-most (135,586), according to Johns Hopkins.
Accurately assessing the scale of the virus’ spread is slippery business. The U.S. and other countries have struggled to supply tests to citizens, and China, the country where COVID-19 was first reported, has faced accusations of fudging its numbers.
The worldwide case count hit 400,000 two weeks ago. It has since climbed above 1.4 million.

  2. What kind of article is this? I have a few questions for you.

    1.HOw many tests would it take to confirm 400,000 cases?
    2. Where are these tests being done?
    3. I would like some PROOF of that. Not just media drivel.

    I have traveled to more than a dozen hospitals in one of the "hot spots" in our country.
    There was ONE person being tested, ER doctors told me they were not seeing any action.
    Local medical staffs are being laid off... health centers closed.

    Something SMELLS and its not dead bodies from a pandemic.
