As of Tuesday morning, more than 3-thousand people have died of coronavirus in the US.
Experts worry that when the outbreak reaches its predicted peak in mid-April, more than 2-thousand people could die a day.
According to one model cited by the White House about 82-thousand could die the virus by August, even with social distancing measures.
Yesterday the US Navy hospital ship “Comfort” docked in New York City, the epicenter of the US coronavirus outbreak, to help ease the strain caused by the pandemic.
The ship is not expected to treat coronavirus patients.
Rather it will be used to treat patients who do not have the virus but who urgently need other care.
