  • April 7, 2020 Summary the United States Now Has 383,965
    April 7, 2020 Summary The United States now has 383,965 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 12,021 reported related deaths. France’s health minister announced that the country had not reached the peak of its epidemic and was “still in a worsening phase.” France has recorded more than 78,167 cases and 10,328 deaths. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is receiving oxygen support in an intensive care unit as he battles a worsening coronavirus infection. Turkey has ordered all citizens to wear masks when shopping or visiting crowded public places and announced it will begin delivering masks to every family, free of charge. South Carolina issued a shelter-in-place order, effective Tuesday at 5 PM. It is the 42nd state to issue an order of this kind. Approximately 95 percent of the U.S. population is or will soon be under directives to stay home. New Jersey Governor Murphy signed an executive order closing all state parks, state forests, and county parks in the state, because too many people have failed to observe social distancing guidelines. In New York, the death toll reached a new one-day high, as 731 more people died in the state. The grim tally followed two days in which new deaths dropped below 600. Governor Cuomo said that while the state’s new death toll was upsetting, he was encouraged by data showing that the rate of hospitalizations had fallen for several days, suggesting that the spread of the virus could be plateauing. President Trump granted Governor Cuomo’s request to allow the treatment of COVID-19 patients on the USNS Comfort.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks at a Send-Off Ceremony for the USNS Comfort at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia March 28, 2020 Thank you very much, Mark. And you're doing a fantastic job, and our country appreciates it very much. And thank you, everybody, for being here. Today I'm deeply honored to be at Naval Station Norfolk—the largest naval base anywhere in the world, and the home to the most powerful fleet that has ever sailed the seas. I just passed some of the most beautiful and, frankly, the most highly lethal ships that I have ever seen in my life, and there are a lot of them. And they're in better shape now than they have been for many, many decades, with what we're doing. We're grateful to be joined by Commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces, Admiral Christopher Grady, and Commander of the U.S. Second Fleet, Vice Admiral Woody Lewis. Thank you both for being here. We appreciate it very much. As we gather today, our country is at war with an invisible enemy. We are marshaling the full power of the American nation—economic, scientific, medical, and military—to vanquish the virus. And we will do that. Today I'm here to express my profound gratitude to the dedicated servicemembers who will soon be on the frontlines of this fight. In a few moments, the crew of the Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort—which is really something—will embark for New York City, where they will join the ranks of tens of thousands of amazing doctors, nurses, and medical professionals who are battling to save American lives.
