Next is Rio de Janeiro state, which has lost more than 1,500 lives to the coronavirus.But the crisis appears to be most acute in Amazonas state, whose hospitals have collapsed due to an infection rate of 2,588 cases for every 1 million residents.Sao Paulo state, which began restricting movement and activity on March 24, had been planning for a gradual re-opening of the economy prior to Gov. Joao Doria's decision Friday to keep quarantine measures in place until the end of May.His counterpart in Rio state, Wilson Witzel, has asked the Attorney General's Office to review a proposal for a much-stricter lockdown.

The South Dakota Department of Health on Saturday reported 54 new deaths from COVID-19. According to Business Insider, the number surpassed the state's previous record death total of 53. But that didn't stop South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem from tweeting state residents and encouraging them to go shopping. The GOP governor has refused to issue a statewide mask mandate. She has also disputed science and calls to enact stricter measures to contain the virus in the state.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg lashed out at the eldest son of President Donald Trump on Friday. On Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. falsely minimized the deaths related to coronavirus, telling Fox News the Trump administration had the pandemic under control. Cases and deaths from the novel coronavirus in the US are rising rapidly. The US broke its single-day coronavirus case record last week with over 88,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day, in addition to over 1,000 deaths. Business Insider reports Buttigieg criticized Trump Jr. for being 'out of touch' when he said US coronavirus deaths are down to 'almost nothing.' Tell that to any of the Americans who are confronting what is literally the worst mass casualty event in this country since World War II. Pete Buttigieg
