Edit: Apologize for including China in title. The U.S. death toll numbers (the 770+ today, the total 3600+ number, and Cuomo's comment about New York maybe going to hit 800 per day) was really why I posted. China Official Count getting surpassed got in there because I was simply copying the title of the weather.com article, and I didn't stop to think about how that could derail a thread on lying commie dictatorships, which it of course did.

The number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States topped 3,600 on Tuesday, making the nation's outbreak more deadly than China's official count.
Overall cases in the U.S. surged above 180,000, even as government officials and health experts cautioned that the peak of the coronavirus pandemic is weeks away.
"I want to prepare for that apex, because this virus has been ahead of us every step of the way," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned, adding that the number of deaths in the state could reach 800 a day.
