U.S. coronavirus cases passed 93,800 as President Trump visited a Ford plant now making ventilators and protective equipment.
Global cases of the coronavirus have surpassed 5 million as the U.S. death toll approaches 100,000 and states continue to reopen their economies and public spaces. Americans worry about their states opening too soon, according to a new poll, even as another study shows more people are venturing out.
In New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy said that although hospitalizations, cases and deaths are trending downward, the state still leads its neighbors in those categories on a per capita basis. “While we’re trying to move as quickly as we can, we’re moving as safely as we must,” Murphy said regarding reopening the state, where more than 10,700 people have died from COVID-19.
While most people are still isolating, there has also been a noticeable drop in the number of people avoiding public spaces and small gatherings,conducted from May 11-17 and released Thursday. The percentage of people who said they were avoiding public spaces dropped from 78% the week leading up to April 12 to 65% the week leading up to May 17, and the number of those skipping small gatherings dropped from 84% to 63% among those polled.
