More than 126,000 people across the globe have died from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding the scope of their nations' outbreaks.
"I think we have to assume this is like other respiratory viruses and there will be a seasonality to it," Redfield told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview on"Good Morning America."

"I think we will see some states that the governors feel that are ready and we're poised to assist them with that re-opening," he added."And I think you'll see that the plan in terms of how that will happen will be finalized by the White House task force in the days ahead." The Russian government registered 3,388 new cases in the past 24 hours -- the country's biggest single-day jump yet.
The United States is, by far, the single largest financial contributor to the WHO, and Gates said the United Nations' health agency is needed"now more than ever."

He did not rule out restoring the money to the organization.

Chan School of Public Health warned that their projections indicate there would be a large resurgence of infection if social distancing measures are lifted all at once, potentially delaying the epidemic's peak and exacerbating the load on critical care resources.
