The Supreme Court on Monday issued its first ruling in a case arising from the coronavirus pandemic, refusing to extend the deadline for absentee voting in Tuesday’s elections in Wisconsin by six days. The coronavirus pandemic has now reached every U.S. state. In addition to posing public health challenges, the outbreak has prompted mass closures of schools and businesses and is straining resources. Here are ways to help in your community. Many eateries have been forced to reduce or close operations due to the outbreak. If you want to support your local restaurant, consider ordering takeout or purchasing a gift card or merchandise. There are now more than 1.3 million cases of the disease worldwide, and almost 74,000 people have died. In the United States, there are almost 360,000 cases, and the U.S. death toll had reached 10,524 on Monday evening. New York City leads the nation with 3,485 deaths. A widely used model of the impact of coronavirus now shows Florida’s peak in deaths will come earlier — and be higher — than previously estimated. The University of Washington Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s Sunday update shows Florida’s peak is expected on April 21, at which point the state will see 242 deaths per day. The model, which has been updated about once a week, previously had projected a peak in early May, with 136 deaths a day. The White House coronavirus task force held its daily briefing on Monday, updating the press and the nation on the status of the outbreak and the government’s response. Citing the pandemic, Evers said he had sought to postpone in-person voting because, “at the end of the day, this is about the people of Wisconsin. They frankly don’t care much about Republicans and Democrats fighting. They’re scared. We have the surgeon general saying this is Pearl Harbor. It’s time to act.”
