More than a thousand people in the United States die from coronavirus per day: Trump wants to ban domestic flights

Information about deaths from the virus is difficult to keep up to date. However, the Johns Hopkins University database, which draws on sources such as WHO, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Chinese Public Health Commission, indicates that there were 1 deaths in the United States on the evening of April 1040st.

After the first case of coronavirus in the United States in late January, according to the morning of April 2, 5 people died from this disease. In total, the country has more than 137 thousand infected.

The previous sad “record” was recorded on Tuesday, March 31, when 504 people died.

Some researchers suggest that by mid-April, the daily number of deaths could double and reach 2200 or even exceed this figure. In this case, coronavirus will eclipse heart disease, the "number one killer," from which an average of 1772 people die per day.

“Our country is going through a great national test,” said US President Donald Trump at a White House virus briefing. “We have a very difficult two weeks ahead.”

Trump rejected the idea of ​​a nationwide directive requiring residents to stay at home, but admitted that he could prevent airlines from flying between the main foci of the coronavirus epidemic.

"It is very difficult. They fly from one hearth to another, ”the president said at a briefing for journalists in the White House. - We are studying this situation. As soon as we go into this, we will squeeze the industry, desperate for help. "

“We are certainly considering this measure. But if we do this, we’ll really destroy the much-needed industry, ”Trump said, referring to air carriers.

Presumably, restrictions may affect flights to the cities most affected by the outbreak of coronavirus - New York, New Orleans and Detroit.

“We think about it,” Trump said, referring to the ban on domestic flights, the number of which has already dropped significantly as a result of a sharp drop in demand for airline tickets.

Although the president has repeatedly stated his desire to reduce the number of immigrants entering the United States from Latin America, he acknowledged that the United States needs labor immigrants who can work on farms with special labor visas.

“I made a promise to American farmers that immigrants would still come,” the president said.

During a press briefing, Donald Trump made it clear that undocumented immigrants, many of whom came to the United States from Latin America, would not be able to rely on financial assistance from the state, which most American families should soon receive.

But at the same time, at a press conference, Trump said: “We must not give in to fear.”

According to forecasts by the US government, even if the Americans strictly adhere to the recommendations on social distance in the coming weeks, up to a quarter of a million people can die from COVID-19.

Florida, home to 21 million citizens, has become one of the last states where the governor has ordered residents to stay home until the end of April.

In some COVID-19 outbreaks in other states, such as Louisiana, which is also located in the south, the situation is “exploding,” Trump told reporters.

The head of WHO, Tedros Adan Gebreyesus, said the rapid spread of the disease was alarming.

“Over the past five weeks, we have witnessed an almost exponential increase in the number of new cases that has covered almost all countries,” he said. - The number of deaths over the past week has more than doubled. In the next few days we will reach a million confirmed cases and 50 thousand deaths. "

Trump allowed the possibility of a new deal between Moscow and Riyadh

The president also said that on Friday, April 3, he will hold a meeting with the leaders of large oil companies. Trump wants to discuss with industry leaders, ravaged by falling gas prices, lower fuel demand and a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, ways to help, writes "Voice of America".

Trump added that he recently spoke with the leaders of Russia and Saudi Arabia, urging both countries to conclude a deal and put an end to the price war in a few days — agree to reduce production and restore oil prices.

“I am going to meet with oil companies on Friday, as well as with independent oil producers - also on Friday or Saturday. Maybe on Sunday. We will have many meetings on this issue, ”the president said.

“The oil industry is destroyed all over the world,” Trump said. - This is very bad for Russia, it is very bad for Saudi Arabia. That is, it is very bad for both countries. I hope they make a deal. ”
