there are now are more than 80,000 confirmed cases in the US, just shy of the numbers in China and Italy.

It's now counted more than 37,000 positive cases.

That's almost half the total for the whole.

US states also recorded its biggest daily rise in deaths 100 people in the past 24 hours, bringing the overall number there to 385.

Older, sicker patients who are staying on ventilators longer.

They usually have a worse outcome right on.

I think people get that from their usual experience.

What we're seeing now is that is happening.

We've had people on for a very long time and they haven't gotten better and they are passing away.

So the number of deaths is a 3 85 It's up from to 85 and since we still have a large number of people on ventilators for a long period of time, the experts expect that number to continue to increase.

Emergency services are being inundated, magazine writer Michael Brendan Dougherty.

Last night, emergency services in New York took 6406 medical calls, the highest volume ever that s'more than on 9 11 While New York City is scrambling to prepare hospitals for an influx of new patients, one hospital in Queens people have died inside the emergency room while waiting for a bet.

A refrigerated truck has been stationed outside to hold the bodies off the dead.

In New York, let's take a quick look at what is happening there.

This is one hospital queues outside people waiting to get tested.

13 Corona virus patients have died here Justice Hospital in the last 24 hours, another hospitals or equipment going in there.

This is in Manhattan to actually a makeshift morgue there, too, which is pretty sobering on down here.

This is me, Miami, on This is a huge field hospital, said she that's being built upto.

250 covert 19 patients could be treated here at a time.

Once that is finished Now, getting a bed in the hospital is one issue.

The availability off ventilators is another.

Here's Governor Cuomo again the number of ventilators we need is so astronomical.

It's not like they have them sitting in the warehouse.

In the federal government, there is no stock pile available well alongside the physical disease.

Affecting tens of thousands of Americans is the economic impact, which effects millions right across the country.

Of course, almost 3.3 million Americans filed unemployment claims last week.

It's more than four times, actually the previous record.

You see how that compares to the past 20 years?

Also, in this graph on this graph, even more striking Mrs from CNBC shows the past 50 years, and you can see another spike while Our North America editor, John So pull share back graph.

Let's take a look at what he said about it.

Jobs data going back 50 years rise today.

Less a spike, um, or a sky rocket on Now our North American reporter, Anthony Zerka.

Let's try and get his tweet up because his is interesting to read, he says.

The latest unemployment numbers were predicted to be bad.

They turned out to be catastrophic hum and catastrophic is a strong word, perhaps, but that's what he's using, and this is where he's using it.

If you get a chance, I'm just going to show you one quote from it.

The government ordered shutdown hasn't just shouted businesses temporarily.

It has vaporised are the jobs off millions of Americans, many of whom are particularly vulnerable hourly service workers who live paycheck to paycheck.

And, he says, the test our will now be whether the multi trillion dollar relief will do enough quickly enough.

Well, his smear saying he was in New York force.

About 3.3 million Americans lost their job in one week, not one month, not six months, but one week, and it completely obliterates any previous records.

Back in 1982 we saw that the highest number of weekly unemployment insurance claims were made were 665 1000.

This is just staggering, and it just goes to show just how ravaging the economic impact of the Corona virus will be right here in the United States.

And remember, this is just the first real piece of economic data.

It does not actually include people that are self employed.

So that means people part of the gig, economy and it also, according to some experts, it suggested it actually doesn't really truly reflect how many people have filed for were uninsured for unemployment insurance, because systems were just so overloaded by this many claims that it's possible that initial claims weren't really even all accounted for in this weekly number.

So it is pretty certain that we're going to see that this number is going to go up again.

We just have this update coming into us here.

S has over taken China for Corona virus infections at John Hopkins University there, which is reporting, is now over taken China with 82,404 confirmed cases.

Of course, this started in China as the epicenter, and then that moved to Europe, where the World Health Organization declared that was the center of the pandemic.

It looks like it could be heading on to North America so that just coming into us in the last couple of minutes while the president, Donald Trump, has bean speaking as well.

In the last hour or so, let's take a listen to what he said, Oh boy, Well, how the world has changed, how the world has changed, right?

But it's gonna end up being better than ever.

So striking an upbeat tone that some of his Democratic rivals have begun highlighting his previous comments, he's made downplaying the threat off the outbreak.

Critics have pointed Teoh tweets like this.

Donald Trump says the last year 37,000 Americans died from the common flu averages of 27 70,000 per year.

Well, I wanted to think about the fact that this tweet was sent on March, the night that was the same day.

All obviously went into a national locked down.

A desperate effort to stop the spread of the virus to Democratic groups started running multi $1,000,000 ad campaigns in swing states, criticizing President Trump's handling off the crisis.

Here's one from a group called Priorities, you say a USA atom.

It's one person coming in from China one day.

It's like the miracle it will disappear when you have 15 people and within a couple of days is gonna be down to close to zero way.

Think we've done a great job in keeping it down to a minimum?

I really get people surprised if I understand.

No, I don't take responsibility and something else to bring.

Year after years of politicians in the USA demanding limits movement across the border with Mexico, it might get their wish, but not quite in the way they imagined.

State of Arizona on state of Sonora in Mexico.

Group there has been threatened to blockade traffic coming from the U.

Because of lack of screening at the border, while the US now has the third largest number of cases off the virus in the world.

And we've just been hearing that now that might have changed that have Bean confirmed cases in Arizona.
