UPDATE: Coronavirus death toll in US surpasses 100,000, according to NBCNews count.
Nearly 30,000 people have died from the virus in New York state, with most of them in the city’s five boroughs,. Data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center show that the number of cases in much of the city is still rising, though at a far slower pace than a month ago.
But in other regions, the numbers have continued to surge. In Mecklenberg County, North Carolina, where Charlotte is located, cases nearly doubled between May 1 and Saturday. More than 3,000 cases were recorded in the county of roughly 1 million people. Seventy-three people have died, according to Johns Hopkins.
In Montgomery County, Alabama, another area highlighted in the task force report, the number of cases nearly tripled between May 1 and Saturday, jumping from 355 to 1,100, according to Johns Hopkins. Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed said last week that the city’s hospitals were so overwhelmed with coronavirus cases that they were diverting patients with acute health issues to Birmingham, 90 miles away.
“Right now, in Montgomery, we’re at a point where we can see the cliff, and we don’t want to get too close to it for fear of falling off,” Reed
