US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says the American economy risks "permanent damage" if the lockdown continues.

WHO member states have agreed to an independent inquiry into the response to the coronavirus pandemic.

There have been 4.8m confirmed cases globally, with 320,000 deaths.

Please don't get me wrong, I have deep respect for religious people, because I grew up in a very religious (calvinistic) family. Took me 16 years to find out how much fear and pain had been put into me and another 25 years to get rid of it.

We may have to go through all of this again or at least a partial shut down of bars and theaters and bowling alley's and sports places, and theme parks.

Why? The "curve" was flattened, the medical profession is getting their needed gear and supplies and testing capacity is increasing on a regular basis.

Here in Denmark the government and its supporting parties have said

In case the R0 goes up from today's 0.7 the will be local or regional shut downs

Then some journalist said-This does not prevent an infected person to take a trip to a neighbour town where there isn't a lock down.

True. COV-19 asks a lot from us. We should behave responsibly. It's just like drinking and driving. The only difference: We all have seen/read in the paper what can happen if someone does not obey and kills people in an accident. Corona is different. Everybody makes their own calculation: How old am I? Am I suffering from hypertension, excess weight, am I a smoker? How about my partner? How about my parents? How about my kids? And believe me: The typical Subsim user is a elderly (white) man, on other boards there are other posts. Posts we would consider hostile, to say the least.

The number of people in Brazil who have died with Covid-19 jumps by 1,179 - a daily record.
President Jair Bolsonaro has downplayed the risks, even though Brazil has the world's third highest number of infections.

In the UK, ministers face pressure to reconsider plans to reopen English primary schools to some pupils from 1 June.

The World Bank warns 60m more people could be pushed into "extreme poverty"

There have been 4.9m confirmed cases worldwide, with almost 325,000 deaths.

Iran’s president has said the country is “on the verge of curbing” its coronavirus outbreak, despite recording more than 2,000 new cases for the third consecutive day.
A further 64 deaths and 2,346 infections were confirmed on Wednesday, the country’s health ministry said.
In total, the country has reported 7,183 deaths and 126,949 cases since the outbreak began in February, but foreign experts believe the true figures could be higher.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has asked parliament to extend the country's state of emergency for another two weeks, drawing fierce criticism from opposition parties.

Local officials in Russia's Dagestan region have described the situation there as a "catastrophe", with reports of a rising death toll and serious shortages of equipment.

Police in the Philippines have raided a small illegal hospital and a pharmacy that were secretly treating Chinese nationals suspected of having the coronavirus, the Associated Press reports, quoting police officials.

Greece is expected to announce plans later that would allow in visitors from other European countries as early as 1 July. The move comes as EU tourism ministers meet this afternoon to discuss how countries can reopen their borders for the summer holidays.

Spain has made it mandatory for everyone over the age of six to wear a face mask in places such as shops, restaurants and public transport, and outdoors as well if social distancing isn’t possible. The rules come into effect on Thursday.

Russia has announced a record number of daily deaths, jumping by 135 in the past 24 hours to a total of 2,972. The country has the second highest number of confirmed cases in the world - surpassing 300,000 on Wednesday - and some believe the true death toll is much higher.

Authorities in the Netherlands say it’s “plausible” a worker at a mink farm caught the virus from one of the animals. Research is under way to confirm the link.

That's okay skidman it's not for everyone, but remember prayer is seeking God's perfect will ... God is not bound to doing things our way.

Now on to the virus of the year the coronavirus ... what if another calamity comes upon us during this one?

We (meaning our country and yours) probably couldn't handle two impossible situations at the same time

92000 Dead !!?

A figure which is hard to embrace.

In less than 3 month.

With USA opening more and more I fear the numbers will be more than double in about 3 month from now.

Same goes here in Europe.

I was not believing the predictions of 100K dead in the US by 1 June. I am believing it now.

Corrected that for you, to make it both more precise, and sounding less patronizing towards those not sharing your belief.
