The number of deaths due to the deadly coronavirus rose to 1,84,204 on early Thursday. Meanwhile, the total number of cases across the globe mounted to 2,637,414. According to John Hopkins University, the United States recorded 1,738 new Coronavirus deaths in 24 hours. The Republican governors, urged on by President Donald Trump, are taking the first steps toward reopening parts of their states’ economies in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, and without adhering to the president’s own guidelines. Democratic governors are largely keeping strict stay-at-home orders and nonessential business closures in place, resisting small pockets of Trump-aligned protesters and public pressure from the president.
