1,000th Coronavirus Case in US – Death Rate in US is at 3% – Goes Down to 1.1% Without Life Care Center Victims from Washington

The US confirmed its 1,000th case of coronavirus on Tuesday night.

There have been 30 deaths from the virus in the US.
At least 19 of those deaths were at the Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington.
The Life Care Center has gone from 1210 residents down to 60 in the past month.

The current mortality rate in the US is 3%.
If you subtract the Life Center deaths the total goes down to 1.1%.

This number will likely decrease as more Americans are tested.

As of Monday the average age of the US coronavirus victims is 80-years-old.

According to CNN — 4,856 coronavirus tests have been run in public health labs, said CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield. “We’ve got a new reporting system that has CDC, public health labs. We’re going to get direct dumps from LabCorp and Quest so people are going to see all the tests done, where they are done. We will have a surveillance system that does that” Redfield said.
