The American death toll is already daunting: more than 18,000 people, seemingly poised to pass Italy’s total and become the highest official toll in the world. And it is growing rapidly. More than 1,900 new U.S. deaths were announced Friday, the highest daily total so far. That number included a record-high 205 deaths in Michigan, where the coronavirus has been advancing even as it fades in the first American epicenters.
美国新型冠状病毒死亡人数令人担忧：人数已经超过1万8千人，看起来要超过意大利总数，变成世界上官方宣布死亡人数最多的国家。死亡人数快速增加。周五（20年4月10日）宣布新死亡人物超过1900人，是截止目前死亡人数最高的一天。死亡人数包括密歇根州创记录的205人。即使密歇根州已经不是美国疫情最严重的地方了，但那里新型冠状病毒仍然很严重。
