The 22nd death in America from the Coronavirus was reported Wednesday night. The death toll will continue to rise as the number of cases increases over time.

The first case in America was reported in Washington but has quickly spread to other states with currently 150 confirmed cases. The worldwide number of cases is over 100,000 with the number continuing to rise.

The death toll is a little over 3,000 people. The number of deaths isn’t as high as it seems with the fatality rate at around just three percent mainly only affecting the elderly or people with previous health problems. The majority at 84 percent with mild cases aren’t seriously affected.
