- The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. surged past 14,000 on Friday, while the death toll climbs to nearly 200, according to CNN.
- The new totals come as over 4,500 new cases and 47 deaths were reported in just the last 24 hours.
- About 40 percent of those cases are in New York state, which has reported 5,700 cases so far.
- Do you think the sharp increase in cases is a result of the virus spreading, or more thorough testing? Should New York close its borders since so many cases are happening there?
