Coronavirus is now the leading cause of death in America.
COVID-19 — the illness caused by the novel coronavirus spreading across the globe — is now the No. 1 cause of death in the US, where it is killing more people every day than heart disease or cancer, according to a report.
A new graph published this week by Dr. Maria Danilychev, a San Diego-based physician, showed the disease causes 1,970 deaths across the country per day, according to Newsweek.
Meanwhile, the graph shows that 1,774 deaths per day are caused by heart disease and 1,641 by cancer, the mag reported.
Only last week, COVID-19 was the third-leading cause of death, averaging about 748 deaths per day, taking the place of accidents, according to Danilychev’s previous report.
DO BILL DE BLASIO AND ANDREW CUOMO HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS? NY could’ve reduced coronavirus deaths by 80% if it acted sooner, ex-CDC director says.
