The number of deaths from Covid-19 worldwide reached more than 100,000 on Friday, including at least 17,925 people who have died of coronavirus in the United States, according to
There have been more than 475,700 total confirmed cases nationwide and nearly 162,000 are in New York state -- more cases than any country in the world.
The US is set to reach its highest daily number of deaths on or around Sunday, according to models by the prominent Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington in Seattle.
