At least 100 people in the United States have now died from the COVID-19 coronavirus, according to an unofficial count compiled by researchers at Johns Hopkins University
The grim milestone comes less than a month after the first reported case of community spread of the virus on Feb. 26. Cases in the U.S. have exploded in recent weeks as testing for the respiratory disease has become more readily available, though testing capability is still not widespread despite a deluge of criticism and efforts by the Trump administration.
Hopkins compiled the numbers using data from local and national health departments including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has lagged the Hopkins count, and from local news reports of confirmed cases. Their count has risen precipitously in recent weeks as the White House has scrambled to circulate more testing kits throughout the country.
Public health experts believe the initial and ongoing testing problems mean that unknown numbers of cases have gone undetected, and they say the death toll will only continue to rise. The virus has only tightened its grip on the country and its economy since it first arrived on America’s shores — with local officials closing schools, bars and restaurants, postponing elections and in extreme cases ordering citywide lockdowns in an effort to prevent transmission despite warnings from public health experts that social distancing measures alone are not enough to slow the rate of infection.
