U.S. coronavirus deaths surpass 10,000

The U.S. coronavirus death-toll has now surpassed 10,000 fatalities.

Many of those deaths have occurred in the New York, which has been the hardest hit U.S. state by far amid the pandemic. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday announced 4,758 deaths. However, he also said the number of deaths in his state has been "effectively flat for two days."

He also said that the "possible flattening of the curve is better than the increases that we have seen." 

New York's numbers during the past few days went from 630 deaths on April 3, down to 594 on April 4, then slightly up to 599.

While President Trump on Sunday said that the coming days will be "very difficult," he also spoke of "light at the end of the tunnel."
