The spread of COVID-19 has slowed across America. Confirmed cases now total 27,150,906 which is about 25% of the world s number. Fatal cases have hit 465,861, almost 20% of the world s figure. Even with the slowdown, 600,000 Americans are forecast to die by June. And, with new mutations of the disease from the U.K., Brazil, and South Africa, there is fear the rapid spread could start again.
The spread of the disease around the nation has been uneven. It was the worst in New York City, Detroit, Chicago, and Boston early on. Deaths in New York State are still the highest among all states, even though it took the brunt of the disease in March and April.

The state judiciary is asking the legislature to not decrease its operating budget for the next year.
Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald highlighted the strain the pandemic has put on the judicial system during his State of the Judiciary address on Wednesday.
Recktenwald says it has hurt efforts to support victims, as well as programs that keep the community safe such as mental health and substance abuse services.
He noted the judiciary s budget has decreased over the last decade, and now accounts for less than 2% of the overall state s budget. He warned further cuts would have an impact.
