US COVID-19 Statistics (BNN news and New York Time):
。A massive funding package to combat the impact of coronavirus did not get enough votes in a key Senate procedural vote Sunday evening. The stalemate came hours after Democratic leaders warned that the bill was not to their liking. And stock futures cratered as the two parties failed to agree on the terms of the package. ---CNBC
。Warnings about damage to the economy from the coronavirus grew more dire as cities from New York to Los Angeles all but shut down and cases rose rapidly. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said U.S. unemployment may hit 30% in the second quarter, with GDP falling by 50%. That exceeds the warning from Goldman Sachs Group last week of a 24% contraction. Morgan Stanley said Sunday the contraction could be 30%.---Bloomberg
。COVID-19 has now spread across Asia to the Middle East to Europe, and now to the Americas. "This is kind of a rolling natural disaster," said Ethan Harris, head of global economic research at Bank of America. "In terms of the impact on global production, the shutdown outside of China will likely become bigger than the impact from China."Harris warned that the shock to global supply chains is deep and broad and could easily last through the next quarter. He estimates that factory shutdowns in many regions could last until May. ---ZeroHedge
。At least 311,988 people have tested positive for the virus worldwide as of Sunday at 7:43 am ET, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The virus has killed at least 13,407 people around the world. The number of cases in the U.S. has surged to at least 26,747, making it one of the worst hit countries in the world. Only China, Italy and Spain are harder hit than the U.S. Italy saw its worst day so far, with 793 confirmed deaths and 6,557 confirmed cases, according to the Associated Press. The country has a total of 53,578 cases and at least 4,825 deaths, the most fatalities of any country. Spain, meanwhile, lost more than 300 people to the virus in one day, bringing its death toll to at least 1,375. The total number of confirmed cases in the country now stands at 25,374. ---CNBC
。Italy banned any movement inside the country in its latest attempt to contain the coronavirus outbreak and reported another 651 fatalities on Sunday.The total number of people killed by the disease reached 5,476, the highest globally, Angelo Borrelli, the head of the civil protection agency, said at a press conference after the government shuttered almost all industrial production for two weeks and banned any movement within the country. The number of known cases jumped to 59,138 leaving Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s government struggling to isolate those potentially carrying the infection and hospitals battling to cope with a shortage of intensive care beds and with health-care workers dying. ---Bloomberg
。Germany on Sunday barred groups of more than two people from gathering, except for families, as Chancellor Angela Merkel said she herself was going into isolation because her doctor had tested positive for the coronavirus. Ms. Merkel said the new social-distancing rules, which will be in place for at least two weeks, were among the strictest by any country on movement outside the home.

。Huge jumps in COVID-19 deaths and cases have been reported in the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France this weekend. Hospital systems in many of these countries are running out of supplies, staff, hospital beds, and ICU-level treatments. The shortage of protective gear for medical staff at many European hospitals has forced some to tape trash bags to their bodies as makeshift biohazard suits. To sum up, the evolution of the virus crisis is that medical gear shortages could lead to labor shortages at hospitals across Europe because medical staff aren't adequately protected against the virus. Europe has become the new China. And in the weeks ahead, parts of the US could transform into Italy. ---ZeroHedge
由于国会尚未就打击冠状病毒爆发带来的巨大经济打击以及COVID-19病毒在世界范围内迅速扩散的经济刺激方案和救助计划达成协议，美国股票期货周日晚跌5％。 石油下跌超过7％，黄金上涨超过0.8％。 30年期债券上涨1.8％，美元上涨。 坏消息来自四面八方，看来股市反弹的机会不大。

。在周日晚上的参议院关键程序投票中，用于抵抗冠状病毒影响的庞大资金计划未能获得足够的票数通过。僵局是在民主党领导人警告该法案不符合他们的意愿后数小时。由于两方未能就一揽子计划的条款达成一致导致股票期货跌停。 --- CNBC
。随着从纽约到洛杉矶的大城市几乎关闭，确诊病例数量迅速增加，有关冠状病毒对经济造成的危害的警告越来越严重。圣路易斯联邦储备银行行长詹姆斯·布拉德（James Bullard）表示，第二季度美国失业率可能会达到30％，GDP下降50％。这超出了上周高盛集团警告的24％的收缩。摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）周日表示，收缩幅度可能为30％。
。COVID-19现在已遍及亚洲，中东，欧洲和美洲。美国银行全球经济研究主管埃森·哈里斯（Ethan Harris）表示：“这是一场持续不断的自然灾害。” “就全球生产的影响而言，中国境外的关闭可能会大于中国的影响。”哈里斯警告说，对全球供应链的冲击是深远而广泛的，很容易持续到下一季度。他估计许多地区的工厂停产可能持续到5月。 ---ZeroHedge
。根据约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）的数据，截至美国东部时间周日上午7:43，全球至少有311,988人对该病毒进行了阳性检测。该病毒已杀死全球至少13,407人。美国的案件数量已激增至至少26,747，成为世界上受灾最严重的国家之一。据美联社报道，只有中国，意大利和西班牙受到的打击比美国迄今为止受到的打击最为严重。意大利迄今已确认最严重的一天，有793例死亡病例和6,557例确诊病例。该国共有53578例病例，至少4825例死亡，是所有国家中死亡人数最多的。与此同时，西班牙一天之内就使该病毒损失了300多人，使其死亡人数至少达到1,375。该国目前确诊病例总数为25,374。 --- CNBC
。意大利最近一次遏制冠状病毒爆发的行动是禁止该国国内的任何活动，并在周日报告了651人死亡的事件，该疾病致死的总人数达到5,476人，是全球最高。民防组织负责人安吉洛·博雷利（Angelo Borrelli）在该机构新闻发布会上说，政府关闭了几乎所有工业生产两周，并禁止该国境内的任何动静。已知病例数跃升至59138人，总理朱塞佩·孔戴（Giuseppe Conte）的政府正努力隔离那些可能携带这种感染的人，而医院正努力应对重症监护床位的短缺和医护人员的死亡。 ---彭博
。星期天，德国禁止超过两人的团体集会，除了家人以外。总理安格拉·默克尔（Angela Merkel）表示她自己将被隔离，因为她的医生冠状病毒的检测呈阳性。默克尔女士说，新的社会隔离规则将持续至少两周，是任何国家对家外出行的最严格的要求之一。---纽约时报
。周末在英国，德国，西班牙，意大利和法国报道了COVID-19死亡人数急剧上升的情况。这些国家/地区中的许多医院系统的用品，人员，病床和ICU级治疗都快用光了。欧洲许多医院医护人员缺乏防护装备，迫使一些人将垃圾袋作为临时的生物危害服贴在他们的身上。总而言之，病毒危机的演变是医疗装备短缺可能导致整个医院的劳动力短缺。欧洲，因为医务人员没有得到充分的病毒防护已成为新的中国。在未来几周内，美国部分地区可能会转变为意大利。 ---ZeroHedge
