New York, which has recorded nearly half the country’s deaths from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the highly infectious virus, on Saturday reported 540 coronavirus-related deaths for April 17, down from 630 a day earlier and the lowest daily tally since April 1.
In neighboring New Jersey, both the number of new hospitalizations and new coronavirus cases were also slightly down from the day before, Governor Phil Murphy said. But he added: “We are not out of the woods, we have not yet plateaued.” The University of Washington’s predictive model, regularly updated and often cited by state public health authorities and White House officials, projected the virus would take 60,308 U.S. lives by Aug. 4, down 12% from a forecast earlier in the week.People sit in a car with an American flag as protesters against the state's extended stay-at-home order to help slow the spread of the coronavirus disease demonstrate at the Capitol building in Austin, Texas, U.S., April 18, 2020.
Earlier in the week, scattered protests erupted in the capitols of Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan and Virginia. The demonstrators mostly flouted the social-distancing rules and did not wear the face masks recommended by public health officials.
I think this is a misleading headline.

Social distancing policy in the Philippines. Everybody is required to wear a face mask. Only 6,000 coronavirus cases and our Govt still thinking of extending the lockdown. COVID19 Meanwhile in the US....
Non è affatto passato. Trump è un inetto,richiamate Obama come riservista.
Because of stupid disinformation and because people arent disciplined enough to listen to medical professionals that know what they are talking about. The more this crap goes on the longer this will go on. It is truly idiotic.
Let's hope things are getting better for NYC.
Didn't 3 polls just come out that said Americans, by a 2 to 1 margin, were more concerned about coming out of the stay at home orders too early than the orders lasting too long?
No, those were politically coordinated 'protests' carried out by a mouth breathing band of a couple hundred white supremacists. Stop it with the fuckery Reutera
Small businesses destroyed by politicians
social distancing is only a temporary measure adopted by the government, everything need come back on track quickly.
And Florida?
Unless we break quarantine...
