As of Monday evening there have been 624 cases reported of the coronavirus in the United States..
There have been 26 deaths in the US – 19 of the deaths were at the Life Center Senior Center in Washington state.

Of ~115,000 people in the world who have been hospitalized after being tested positive for the virus, over 63,000 have totally recovered and gone home.
COVID-19 is no match for a healthy human immune system.

President Trump and his coronavirus tax force of medical experts held a press conference on Monday night.
“President Donald Trump on Monday said he will be meeting with Senate and House Republicans on Tuesday to discuss “a possible tax relief measure to provide “a timely and effective response to the coronavirus.”

“We are to be meeting with House Republicans, Mitch McConnell, and discussing a possible payroll tax cut or relief, substantial relief, very substantial relief,” Trump said at a press briefing with coronavirus task force members.

“It’s a big number,” he added. “We’re also going to be talking about hourly wage earners getting help so they can be in a position where they’re not going to miss a paycheck.”

President Trump also said the administration is discussing paid sick leave.”

Update at 9AM ET

For the entire world

116,059 Confirmed Cases
- 64,630 People who have fully recovered
- 4,089 Deaths
47,340 Active Cases

Good news is the number of active cases in China is down over 50% in the last two weeks.

Italy and Iran are two "hot spots" adding the most new cases.

USA only has 729 confirmed, 15 recovered and released, 27 deaths. < My take is that in the U.S. we are not releasing people that have recovered until they have been virus free for two weeks.
