Stocks on Friday were rising on Wall Streets in an apparent approval of plans by President Donald Trump and some governors for a phased reopening of local economies, although a dramatic jump of 4,591 in the daily U.S. death toll Thursday underscored the relentless nature of the coronavirus pandemic.

The latest fatality figures for the U.S., as tallied by Johns Hopkins University, pushed the total death toll in the country to 33,288 early Friday. Wednesday saw the previous record high daily deaths, at 2,494.

It's not immediately clear what caused Thursday's huge spike, but the CDC began including "probable" cases in its death count earlier this week.

"The number of reported deaths in the U.S. from the new coronavirus spiked to nearly double the prior record Thursday, as governors extended their lockdown orders, and the Trump administration released new federal guidelines to reopen the economy.

In the 24 hours ending at 8 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, 4,591 people were reported to have died from Covid-19, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University. The prior record was 2,569 on Wednesday."

The number I see at worldometers is 2,174.
