Coronavirus curve: US cases on track to overtake Italy

CNN's Hala Gorani speaks with John Burn-Murdoch, a data journalist at The Financial Times, about the sharp rise in coronavirus cases in the US. "If we look at the number of cases, the US is still the most alarming situation," says Burn-Murdoch.

    1. get that 100,000th death and trump will be rejoising.
      maybe then he’ll tell FEMA to release all the machines they’re holding back.

  1. Don’t worry everyone the Easter bunny has the cure and you will all be in church for Easter Sunday!

      I haven’t really been listening to that tool bag but he might have just been trying to be optimistic in saying that.. we need to listen to the healthcare professionals and that’s it.

    3. china virus stop eating rats bats cats dogs Roches lions monkeys bears and every wild animal we all know most of the virus comes from you sick market and I’m a Canadian, virus china to late the whole world knows since last November
      it’s all over youtube since November and January too late we got documentaries all over youtube the world saw the videos you look bad already don’t make yourself look worse
      Why didn’t the Chinese government blamed themselves for forcing to silent Dr. Li Wenliang who tried to inform the public and social media about the coronavirus spreads early December 2019 in China so that everyone could be aware and prepare early before it’s too late? It is a serious problem in China for no human rights. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51364382

    1. @Villain of the piece You’re absolutely Pathetic. Donny’s own advisors and gop governers are not happy with this moronic decision to open up the country. No other country will do this especially when you have a pandemic Accelerating, Unfortunately Trumptards like you still think it’s a hoax don’t you. Trump is an embarrassment to your country just like you are. No wonder you’re seeing increasing deaths in your country.

    2. @Joe Joudrey We are all worried but to think all the people could die if it doesn’t stop the spread, millioms even young people who are healthy…………

    3. @Paul Lujan Trump banned travel from China in January (TO FIGHT THE VIRUS…IN CASE YOU`RE SLOW …AND SAVED COUNTLESS LIVES!). He was attacked and called racist. Democrats said he was overreacting. Then he was called racist again when he banned air travel from certain countries in Europe. Then they BLAMED HIM FOR THE VIRUS! SAID HE DIDN`T DO ENOUGH! This is the HOAX he talked about! POLITICAL LIES! Democrats are idiots! But who was it who ignored travel warnings and spread the virus far and wide? People in California, Washington State, New York and democrats in the city of New Orleans…

    1. Oh nooos! The scientists and statisticians didn’t realize that. You should volunteer your monumental intellect to help them.

    2. @Baccus Olypus I don’t think you followed the criticism…… He isn’t suggesting that’s novel information. He’s suggesting CNN are propagandists for pretending that’s not the case….. you know…. because they are.

    3. Layton it took 2 months for China to reach 80,000 cases. It took the US 2 weeks to reach 80,000 cases.

    1. Soon Mexicans will chant “build that wall” and set up camps for sick Americans trying to cross the Rio Grande to get Mexican free health care! Wow the tables must have really turned!!!!

    1. @P- Squash so what you’re saying about the estimated cases that they’re just guesses and not the real number?

    2. tim Our years of living a fat and soft existence are about to catch up with us. The obesity epidemic was on full display at the supermarkets this week, and now these rotund Trumpers are binging on Hamburger Helper and Dorito casseroles while watching Andy of Mayberry reruns.

      We are just not ready for this, especially in Trump country.

      I saw a fat state trooper stuck in his patrol car, the buckle to his seatbelt was jammed, a fire truck with an obese crew rescued him. I saw a shouting match at Walmart over a giant bag of frozen pork riblets.

      No kidding, a woman with two shopping carts of hamburger helper, she said it’s her comfort food, I’m guessing she was 350lbs easy. She also had multiple bags of Doritos and regaled those of us standing in line behind her with hamburger helper casserole recipes.

      In the parking lot I saw an obese mid 30s dude climb with difficulty into the cab of a ridiculously lifted pickup truck, yes it had a confederate flag and a trump bumper sticker.

    4. @TX BattleJunk86
      it’s all to easy to spot the dumb trump voters.
      Ibet they’re hiding in closets and darent step out the door.

    1. @Kiana Kehoe *_Feminism_* is a leftist ideology, which *_only_* is supported among democrats.
      And feminism has a clear doctrine of pedophilia. Like *_Desmond is amazing_* and *_Drag queen story hour_* proves

  2. Far too many selfish people who dont seem to care much about social distancing.. I really hope this changes

    1. @Peter Parker nobody that I know of in my area is really taking this seriously, only because we have 3 cases in our county. Give it a week, we’ll have over 200 and everyone will blame the gov for not doing anything and allowing it to spread. When I told my friends/ coworkers I was taking emergency leave to stay safe, they all laughed at me. Let’s see whos laughing in the next few weeks!

    1. Thomas Mathew dude u just can’t walk in a hospital and say test me for corona there is a protocol to get tested You local doctor will observe you before he writes a note for u to get tested. I went to a hospital to get tested they send me back . In my city of 35 million we have 5 cases 4 of which have been cured

  3. Cant use China as a model. They locked everything down. Houston is just as damn busy on lockdown because everyone downtown is “essential”, we’ll be doing this climb for months…

    1. SubduedRadical omg you guys are incorrigible, wuhan lifted travel curbs a week ago, there is no one new native case except the imported case and people are back to work now, you still think we are lying, your media keep deceiving you so hard, that’s why you still don’t take it serious and don’t know how Chinese response and deal with coronavirus, what a information blocking, god bless you

    2. iG WT that’s fake news buddy, if you dont trust me Chinese come and see by yourself, if my ppl die so many, I will be angry much more than you

    3. ANYONE that believes China’s “reported” statistics, should buy some beachfront property in Arizona.

  4. Why wouldn’t it take over Italy and Spain? Most of the US still doesn’t take it seriously and has 5.5 times the population.

    1. Dark Vader I mean they didn’t tell American people the severity of covid 19 and the importance of distancing and the mask, perhaps they dont know too, but trump must know these info have been uploaded and shared to the world two months ago.

    2. 又白又大又圆 he was warned over and over!

      But this happening on his watch and he’s panicking. The panicking is costing lives sadly.

    1. @Livai XLomarianX the catholic church is responsible for childhood obesity…parents trying to make their kids un-fuckable

  5. When the ‘facts’ change… people’s behavior will also change.
    Now the ‘fact’ most likely to change everything…is when bodies are ‘seen’ to be stacking up.
    It’s all somewhere else and someone else at the moment. April will change all of that…
    It’s not as if this came from nowhere…warnings were given…Bill Gates’s just the most notable. A long look in the mirror will be required when all of this is done and dusted.

  6. It just did overtake Italy and it’ll overtake China by tonight

    Edit: passed Chinese total cases 20 minutes after writing this comment

    1. Waiting for the China lied comments.

      You know what, how about someone say “everyone in China is actually dead” to spice things up a bit.

    2. It’s wholly possible that China’s numbers aren’t completely accurate, but I don’t think they’re out by that much. It’s against their interests to lie about having millions of people still infected. This thing kills, and kills fast. There’s no way around that.. as Trump is sloooowly discovering, you can’t just pretend it doesn’t exist.

      You perhaps doubt the figures, because you haven’t seen how they reacted to this, and can’t believe they did it so much better than you. I can’t believe they handled it so much better than you either, but apparently that’s the world we live in now… I actually live in China, and have personally undergone (and am still undergoing) the strict control measures China implemented during this time. I watched the days they were reporting up to 4000 infections a day in a single city. I saw that curve slow as the measures took effect.

      The difference is, China took this seriously – both government and its people. They didn’t hold mardi gras and mass rallies. They acted early (not early enough by a looong way… they still effed up big time… but were still months ahead of the rest of the world despite constant warnings), they tested extensively, and they shut the entire country down for a month… and by shut down, I mean shut down. There was almost no one on the streets. No traffic. Cities were physically closed off at toll booths, and people monitored and registered coming in and out, and expected (by law) to remain isolated for 2 weeks when they get somewhere new. People still get their temp taken entering every building here… even taken when entering shops inside a building you’ve already been measured.

      The US will not see reductions until they take this seriously…. which I don’t see happening for a while. The longer it’s left, the harder it is to control… Most of the US has actually already left it too long to effectively control the outbreak. You guys just need to minimise deaths now.

      The health system will be overrun within a week or two, meaning all non-covid related emergencies and chronic health issues will also suffer enormously.

      Mexico probably gonna be well gutted they didn’t pay for that wall….

    1. Absolutely @0:51 the countries who implemented this were at the bottom and the ones who didn’t are the rest..
