Coronavirus Pandemic! Where are we now?

The world is taking a major blow from the coronavirus pandemic.  Many countries will have to work long and hard to rebuild their economy. There’s no way to tell when some countries will return to normal life and operations.

Here are some significant developments on the coronavirus pandemic:

  • Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) of New York, emphasized the importance of “partnership” over “partisanship” Monday, announcing that the state has had 253 more coronavirus-related deaths. Health-care workers in the state are preparing for an apex that experts believe is still a few weeks away.
  • In Italy, another 812 people have died after contracting the virus, bringing the country’s total number of deaths to 11,591.
  • The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given emergency approval to a plan by the Trump administration to distribute millions of doses of anti-malarial drugs to U.S. hospitals.  They say it’s worth the risk of trying unproven treatments in order to slow the disease in seriously ill patients.
  • On Monday, Governors Larry Hogan and Ralph Northam of Maryland and Virginia, respectively,  issued stay-at-home orders, nearly shutting down the Washington region.
  • Trump said Sunday that federal guidance supporting social distancing measures will remain in place until April 30, back-tracking on his plan to “open up” the United States by Easter. Two top U.S. health officials, Anthony S. Fauci and Deborah Birx, told the president that the U.S. could record up to 200,000 deaths.
