Pandemic 'far from over' and 'the world should have listened,' WHO says
More than 3 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with 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.
"We're moving in the right direction with respect to the virus, but we are not where we need to be," Baker said. Gov. Kay Ivey made the announcement Tuesday, saying the current"stay-at-home" order will expire on Thursday. It will be replaced with a"safer-at-home" order. The last time that number was below 1,000 statewide was at the end of March. In New York City, March 22 was the last day the number of hospitalizations was below 1,000.
"Again, I know it's emotion, and I know people are feeling emotional," he said."But emotions can't drive a reopening process, right? We're talking about infection rates. We're talking about hospital capacity." Mori told Nikkan Sports that the Olympics have only been canceled in the past during times of war, and he compared the battle against the novel coronavirus to"fighting an invisible enemy."

On average, test results are available online via the company's secure patient portal one to two days after the blood draw. Consumers will have the opportunity to speak with a licensed physician about their results, according to a press release from Quest Diagnostics. The New Jersey-based diagnostic testing giant noted several limitations to the antibody testing, including that positive results may be due to past or present infection with other coronavirus strains which don't cause COVID-19.
Starting Tuesday, CityMD said it will also offer an antibody blood test which will indicate"with high accuracy" if a patient had previously contracted the novel coronavirus, whether or not they experienced symptoms. All patients will receive their antibody test results three to five days after testing, if not sooner, according to the press release.
"To our knowledge, this is the first instance in which the virus has been detected in a dog," Woods told ABC News in a statement Tuesday."Little additional information is known at this time as we work to learn more about the exposure." "We are still learning about this virus, but it appears that it can spread from people to animals in some situations," the agency says on its website."Do not let pets interact with people or animals outside the household," the agency says on its website. If a person inside the household becomes sick, isolate that person from everyone else, including pets."
"Personal protective equipment can reduce the likelihood of being infected," Brackney added,"but what they cannot protect heroes like Dr. Lorna Breen or our first responders against is the emotional and mental devastation caused by this disease."
