US records 1,497 virus deaths in 24 hours - the highest single-day toll of any country so far - with almost half in NYC, as cases rise to 310,000 and total deaths hit 8,500 leaving hospitals overwhelmed
US death toll from coronavirus skyrocketed by 1,497 in one day, taking the death toll to 8,503 and counting
Confirmed coronavirus cases reached 311,632, triple that of Spain and Italy
New York City alone accounts for more than a quarter of the US deaths
Virus took its grimmest daily death toll yet in New York state, with 788 dying in a day
Michigan now has the third highest case count after New York and New Jersey
Detroit has 223 deaths, the most in a US metro area other than New York City
The US set a grim global record on Saturday with the number of deaths from coronavirus leaping by 1,497 in just one day taking the death toll past 8,500.
Almost half of the day's fatalities were in New York City, where the death toll reached 2,624 and hospital corridors were littered with body bags containing the latest victims.
The US death toll skyrocketed to 8,503 by the end of Saturday, and the number of cases surged by 33,324 leaving 311,632 Americans infected by the killer virus.
This marks the highest number of infections anywhere in the world.
While the death toll in Italy (15,362) and Spain (11,947) is still higher, the US now dwarfs the hard-hit European nations' infections, with both Italy (124,632) and Spain (126,168) reporting only around a third of the number of infections across the US.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo warned that the pandemic is 'like a fire spreading', as his state continues to be ravaged and ruined by the crisis.
