The US confirmed its 1,000th case of coronavirus on Tuesday night.

There have been 30 deaths from the virus in the US.
At least 19 of those deaths were at the Life Care Center in Kirkland, Washington.
The Life Care Center has gone from 1210 residents down to 60 in the past month.

The current mortality rate in the US is 3%.
If you subtract the Life Center deaths the total goes down to 1.1%.

This mortality rate will likely decrease as more Americans are tested.

Despite the mass deaths at the Life Care Center facility the state of Washington has still not tested the entire staff for the disease.

Worse yet, out of 180 employees 64 are showing signs of the illness but only 30 have been tested.
