The United States now has the most coronavirus cases in the world with 83,553 infections and 1,205 deaths.
New figures released on Thursday show that the US has overtaken China and Italy with the number of confirmed cases in the global pandemic.
Italy is still the hardest hit country in terms of deaths with more than 8,000 fatalities. China, where the pandemic began in December, has recorded more than 3,000 deaths.
The number of coronavirus infections have now topped a half-million worldwide.
It comes after the World Health Organization this week predicted a grim outlook for the US, saying that the country would quickly become the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic given the 'very large acceleration' of confirmed infections.

Coronavirus Jailbreak: NYC Frees 375 Inmates While Car Theft Skyrockets
You can try to blame Trump all you want.
My hunch is that come November people in NYC with stolen cars will blame De Blasio and the rest of the Democrat Ticket and not Trump.
Stealing a car is a hanging offense.
It is not, but it is. We do not hang people anymore. We do not prescribe capital punishment for car theft. But consider the old west. Stealing a person's horse was a hanging offense. The modern day horse is a car.
After murder and rape, car theft garners a lot of attention in local media.
China Originated Viral Infectious Disease - 19
They’ve pleaded for the White House to invoke the Defense Production Act, the legislation that would compel American companies to make critical supplies. President Trump has refused. “I just haven’t had to use it,” Trump said Thursday night.
Interviews with hospital purchasing managers, state emergency management officers and even the middlemen themselves paint a different picture. They portray a broadly dysfunctional system across the United States, with hospitals and health authorities having few options but to rely on largely unknown middlemen whose priority appears to be making a profit as they promise to quickly replenish the nation’s depleted medical stockpiles.
The companies exist outside the traditional medical supply chain and offer wildly varying levels of price and quality, leaving hospitals with limited recourse when deliveries go wrong. The frenzy is helping drive up costs and forcing already strained hospital leaders to vet suppliers for dangerous counterfeits and scams.
Without clear federal coordination, states and hospital groups say they are having to grapple with suppliers eager to secure sales and squeeze profits from companies spending billions of dollars to combat the viral spread.
The governors of New York, Texas, Illinois and other states have said they are competing with the federal government and other states in a mad scramble for lifesaving supplies such as surgical masks, N95 respirators, isolation gowns and ventilators that are widely drained or out of stock.
They are also dealing with a frenzy of pitches from unknown suppliers offering to sell them the materials directly from Chinese factories. Christian Mitchell, deputy governor of Illinois, said he’s on a team of more than a dozen staffers attempting to sort through a dizzying array of sellers offering masks and medical equipment.
WASHINGTON — President Trump has made rolling back environmental regulations a centerpiece of his administration, moving to erase Obama-era efforts ranging from landmark fuel efficiency standards and coal industry controls to more routine rules on paint solvents and industrial soot.
But all along, scientists and lawyers inside the federal government have embedded statistics and data in regulatory documents that make the rules vulnerable to legal challenges. These facts, often in the technical supporting documents, may hand ammunition to environmental lawyers working to block the president’s policies.
Trump administration loyalists see in the scientists’ efforts evidence that a cabal of bureaucrats and holdovers from previous administrations is intentionally undermining the president and his policies. And there can be little doubt that some career scientists are at odds with the president’s political appointees.
But current and former federal employees who work on environmental science and policy say their efforts to include these facts are a civic and professional duty, done to ensure that science informs policy outcomes and protects the public. Some are trying to preserve regulations they spent years of their lives writing.
“You work hard on stuff that is good for the world, for a long time, for years, and then it’s trashed, and you’re told you have to participate in trashing it,” said Kathy Kaufman, a clean air policy expert who retired from the E.P.A. in 2017 after 29 years. “You’re in a difficult position, and you know you have to figure out what to do.”
Oh look, a squirrel just took a big dump at 10:29 and again at 11:02.
