A leaked memo from the Federal Emergency Management Agency revealed that there has been a near-17 percent spike in deaths related to the novel coronavirus in the United States during the past week, an indicator that typically follows a surge in cases.
Since the start of September, a memo obtained the ABC News showed that there has been an increase in the number of people who have been killed by the coronavirus. It showed that nearly 6,000 individuals died from COVID-19, a surge of 16.6 percent from the previous week.
“The national positivity rate for COVID-19 tests currently stands at 4.4%, a 0.1% decrease over the past week, according to the memo,” the outlet reported.
At the same time, there were just over 261,000 new incidences of the virus reported, which is not quite a single percent decrease.
