US President Donald Trump said, during a news conference held hours earlier, that the strict measurements taken by his administration have saved the USA from two million deaths of the Coronavirus.

He grilled the Swedish government for negligence because it let life went as normal without any preventive measurements to confront the deadly virus. The confirmed cases of infection in Sweden went higher like ones in the United Kingdom which took the same path.

Trump added that the strict measurements protect the US economy against turbulent, negative changes due to the Coronavirus. However, he predicted that deaths of the virus would range from 55 to 75 thousand cases.

On the other hand, US Johns Hopkins University, announced today that the total confirmed cases of the Coronavirus in the USA reached about a half a million cases.

The university released a statement said the daily percentage of the deaths hit 2100 people across the country. The toll death of the deadly in the USA exceeded 18637.

Sources familiar with the White House pointed out the self-isolation measurements imposed by the authorities reduced significantly the possible infections in the USA. The officials warn the spike of the infection might happen next week then reduce to lesser numbers later.

New York State becomes the epicenter of the pandemic in the USA. The local authorities in that state directed to dig mass graves in Hart Island to bury the victims of the Coronavirus. The island was used as cemetery for the poor in the state in the last 150 years.

Hundred of deaths were recorded daily in houses and streets, but the authorities don't register them as vitiates of the Coronavirus even if the symptoms of the COVID-19 appeared on the dead.

On April 2 the federal authorities allotted 100 thousand plastic sacs to shroud the dead of the deadly virus.

As the Americans celebrate the Easter Day tomorrow, Sunday, Antony Fauci, senior expert in infectious diseases in USA, warns of mitigating the strict measurements taken to confront the virus.
