New York City has seen a surge in deaths from coronavirus over the weekend, with one person dying every 9.5 minutes over the course of Friday and early Saturday.
As the New York Post noted, a total of 67 people died overnight and 151 between Friday morning and Saturday morning — a rate of one person at roughly every 10 minutes. That rate has increased from the previous one-day period, when one person died roughly every 17 minutes.
There are now a total of 517 deaths in New York City and 29,158 confirmed cases of infection, making the city the new epicenter of the outbreak in the United States and across the world. As CNN reported, more than one-third of all cases in the United States are now in New York City and the rate of infection has continued to double roughly every two days despite the city’s stringent lockdown measures.
