The US virus death toll has surpassed 50,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, in what is the world's deadliest Covid-19 outbreak. More than 3,000 deaths came in the last 24 hours, and there are now over 870,000 confirmed cases nationwide. But the US still has a lower mortality rate than most European nations based on current case counts, as the White House task force has emphasised. The grim news comes as parts of the US reopen after weeks of lockdown. Some hair salons, bowling alleys and other businesses are opening on Friday in Georgia, Alaska and Oklahoma. The US has by far the highest death toll and case count in the world. However, it has a population of 330 million, much higher than other worst affected countries such as Spain and Italy. Dr Deborah Birx, an expert on the White House Covid-19 task force, has said the country has "one of the lowest mortality rates in the entire world". On a per capita basis, the reported US dea...

U.S.A President Donald Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates has asked to serve his remaining 45-day “intermittent” prison sentence from his home over fears of contracting the coronavirus, a court filing showed. Gates is urging a modification to his probation condition as he fears that he could carry the virus home from the prison, posing a heightened risk to his wife, who is getting treated for cancer, Thomas Green, lawyer for Gates said in a filing made on Sunday. “The gravity of the virus and its potential impact on Mrs. Gates are substantial,” he said. “If Mr. Gates were to return to his home carrying the virus, it could create serious ramifications for his wife. Due to her cancer treatment, her immune system is compromised, placing her at heightened risk for serious side effects or worse if she were to be infected with the coronavirus.” Gates held senior posts on the president’s campaign team and inauguration committee, and was one of several former Trum...

Another 120 people have recovered from the coronavirus in Pakistan during the past 24 hours, according to the government's official  portal  for tracking the spread of the disease in the country. The total number of recoveries is now 1,765.

BEIJING (AP) — The central Chinese city of Wuhan has raised its number of COVID-19 fatalities by 1,290, with state media saying Friday the undercount had been due to the insufficient admission capabilities at overwhelmed medical facilities at the peak of the outbreak. Wuhan’s revised death toll of 3,869 is the most in China. Numbers of total cases in the city of 11 million were also raised by 325 to 50,333, accounting for about two-thirds of China’s total 82,367 announced cases. The official Xinhua News Agency quoted an unidentified official with Wuhan’s epidemic and prevention and control headquarters as saying that during the early stages of the outbreak, “due to the insufficiency in admission and treatment capability, a few medical institutions failed to connect with the disease prevention and control system in time, while hospitals were overloaded and medics were overwhelmed with patients. “As a result, belated, missed and mistaken reporting occurred,” the official was ...

The nationwide coronavirus lockdown will be extended for at least another three weeks, Dominic Raab has announced. Any change in social distancing measures would "risk damage to both public health and the economy", the first secretary of state told the daily Downing Street press briefing.

WASHINGTON  - A record 22 million Americans have sought unemployment benefits over the past month, with millions more filing claims last week, underscoring the deepening economic slump caused by the novel COVID-19 outbreak. Thursday’s weekly jobless claims report from the Labor Department followed dismal data on Wednesday showing a record drop in retail sales in March and the biggest decline in factory output since 1946. Economists are predicting the economy, which they believe is already in recession, contracted in the first quarter at its sharpest pace since World War Two. Weekly jobless claims, the most timely data on the economy’s health, are being closely watched for clues on the depth of the downturn, when the waves of layoffs may let up and when a recovery might start. “The fact that 22 million individuals have filed for unemployment benefits in just four weeks shows that the labor market has entered a traumatic period,” said Lydia Boussour, a senior U.S. economi...

U.S. coronavirus deaths rose above 31,000 on Thursday, according to a tally, as President Donald Trump prepares to announce guidelines for reopening the economy. The United States is the world’s worst-affected country with fatalities doubling in just a week and setting a record single-day increase for two days in a row. The governors of Connecticut, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania began cautiously preparing Americans for a post-virus life where residents wear face masks as they emerge from isolation in the coming weeks. The U.S. shutdown has crushed the nation’s economy to levels not seen since the Great Depression nearly a century ago as more than 20 million Americans have sought unemployment benefits amid shuttered stores and restaurants.

The landlocked principality of Andorra squeezed between Spain and France has been hit hard by Covid-19. As of Thursday at least 673 residents have come down with the virus and 33 have died, in a country with a population of just over 77,000. A government spokesman told me that six million people visit the tiny country each year - often to go skiing or for duty-free shopping - and that may explain the high infection rate. Due to a lack of medical staff, the government invited 39 doctors and nurses from Cuba to help treat patients. Meanwhile in France, pet shelters have re-opened today despite the lockdown. The nationwide animal charity the SPA had warned that thousands of pets would have to be put to sleep because of over-crowding and a surge in abandoned cats and dogs. Following a public outcry the government backed down, and you can now leave your home in order to adopt a pet.

Even as the Trump administration was struggling to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, it was ramping up efforts to seize land along U.S.A southern border to build a wall and fulfill a major campaign promise, a  review of federal court records shows. Donald Trump made building the wall a central promise of his 2016 campaign, but those efforts have been plagued by delays and false promises. Late last year, the administration got more aggressive, pledging to use the federal courts to seize large swaths of private land, mostly in Texas. While most of the U.S.A has been slowed by the COVID-19 crisis - which has infected more than 635,000 people and killed at least 31,000 more - Trump’s efforts to construct a southern border wall has only gained steam. In the past 12 months, the administration opened 41 cases in federal court to seize land to build a wall along the southern border of Texas. Nearly half of those cases – 16, or 39 percent - were filed in the past two months. The...
