Coronavirus COVID-19 Update for 3/27/2020

The coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting 199 countries and territories around the world and 1 international conveyance (the Diamond Princess cruise ship harbored in Yokohama, Japan).



As of March 28, 2020 at 00:16 GMT, there have been 102,464 confirmed cases and 1,607 deaths due to coronavirus COVID-19 in the United States.


President Donald Trump signed the largest stimulus package in U.S. history on Friday, a $2 trillion bill intended to rescue the coronavirus-battered economy.

“This will deliver urgently needed relief,” Trump told reporters at the White House, as he was joined by GOP leaders but no Democrats. “We’re going to keep our small businesses strong and our big businesses strong.”





Rhode Island police began stopping cars with New York plates Friday. On Saturday, the National Guard will help them conduct house-to-house searches to find people who traveled from New York and demand 14 days of self-quarantine.




Major hospitals in Boston are seeing a steep rise in the number of infected workers, a doubling to more than 160 in the past two days, which officials believe may be more attributable to community spread than contact with infected patients.



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) pledged “a reckoning” Wednesday morning on Fox & Friends after China according to the GOP senator “unleashed” the coronavirus on the world.
Co-host Steve Doocy began the interview asking Cotton on his thought on if the government will be set to re-open by Easter.
Cotton responded, “Well, I would love to see that as well, but I think we have to exercise caution, Steve. The one thing we don’t want to see is a relaxing of some of the restrictions on public activities and then a resurgence of the pandemic. Ultimately, this is going to be a multifaceted response. It’s going to require more testing and more personal protective equipment for our doctors and our nurse.”
“Making sure that none of our hospitals in rural Arkansas or New York City are overwhelmed, not just by coronavirus cases but by other cases needing intensive care. And then also taking assessment of conditions on a regional or even local basis.”
