As mentioned in previous posts, here is a visualization tool for mapping the cases of COVID-19 occurrences.
According to the site, this morning's worldwide number of reported cases was 2,335,337 with 604,573 recoveries, 162,013 fatalities, and 735,366 cases in the United States (US), which represents 28,534 new cases - a drop of 6,805 since yesterday.
Of the cases in the US, there have been 66,854 recoveries, 39,095 deaths, and 31,795 cases in Pennaylvania (with 1,105 deaths).
For the US, the site is also reporting 3,723,634 total tests administered and 114,123 hospitalizations.
According to Dr. Birx, in yesterday's press conference, the numbers from recent days have included the retroactive addition of "presumed cases" from previous weeks, which may explain the uptick in new cases for April 15 through 18.
