Deaths linked to COVID-19 in the United States now total more than 800, including nearly 200 in New York City alone, according to a database kept by Johns Hopkins.
Detroit has the largest number of cases with 705.
On Wednesday, it was announced that a Detroit police captain, identified as Jonathan Parnell, died from COVID-19. Parnell spent decades on the force.
This is the department’s second death from COVID-19, following the death of a civilian dispatcher.
On Tuesday, Beaumont Health said it is facing limitations and nearing capacity with staffing amid the outbreak.
Beaumont says the number of patients coming in continues to increase each day, which is consistent with other hospital systems in Michigan. They say they still have ventilator capacity at this time, but that could change as more people become infected.
As I said yesterday, Stay safe!
