Prime Minister Boris Johnson was transferred to the intensive care unit of a London hospital, White House officials clashed over the value of an antimalarial drug for COVID-19 patients while the coronavirus hot spot of New York offered a glimmer of hope Monday as the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus pandemic surpassed 10,000.
President Donald Trump has warned of reaching a “horrific point in terms of death” at the hands of the coronavirus pandemic in coming days. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Americans were facing “our hardest and saddest week.”
But Trump and federal health officials also said there were signs the outbreak might be reaching its apex in some hard-hit areas such as New York City and Washington state. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said deaths and hospitalizations showed signs of “plateauing.” Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced his state would return 400 ventilators to the federal government after state health officials there said they were seeing fewer infections than anticipated.
There are more than 347,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the U.S., and more than 10,000 people have died, according to the Johns Hopkins University data dashboard. About 1.3 million cases have been confirmed worldwide.
