Another deadly day in the United States: The number of Corona victims in the United States crossed 30,000 and stood today on 33,387 dead in all fifty states of the Union, of which 799 died in the last day.
The main mortality focus is the state of New York, where 609 people died in the past day, despite a slight decline in the rate of infection and an increase in the number of tests available to state authorities. The number of hospitalizations in New York City itself, the focus of the outbreak in the country, is also declining.
The governor of New York announced that he would extend the closure in the state and New York City by May 14, adding that no decision has yet been made on what the state will do next, but added that the decision was made in coordination with other state governors.
While President Trump has announced the establishment of a special council whose job is to direct the reopening of the U.S. economy, new unemployment figures released today show a marked increase in unemployment rates in the country. According to the data, published on the New York Times Internet site, 5.2 million unemployed were added this past week and the total number of unemployed is 22 million.
These are the number of jobs added to the U.S. economy since the Great Crisis of 2008 and the largest unemployment rate the United States has seen since. And if the situation of unemployed workers in the various countries is bleak, then the situation of the self-employed in the United States today received an even more severe blow.
The Small Business Loan Fund, with the aim of helping them continue to pay salaries to employees, announced today that it was left unpaid. The small business manager claims that the budget, designed for businesses employing 500 or fewer employees, has run out after 1.4 million loans were given to various businesses. The budget for the fund is a staggering $ 349 billion. U.S. Treasury Secretary Stephen Menuchin has promised that he will work to move another budget in Congress.
