US needs to be prepared for second wave of coronavirus outbreak, Dr. Fauci warns

Reaction and analysis from Dr. Marty Makary and the 'Outnumbered' panel.
“This is the really bad news – the number of deaths is increasing,” he told reporters Thursday. “That’s the worst news you can have.”
Cuomo says New York is “still number one” in terms of impacted states and as of yesterday, was conducting 25 percent of all coronavirus testing in the nation.

He says coronavirus has forced the hospitalization of 5,237 people statewide – 1,290 of which are in intensive care units.
“During this difficult time, let's listen to the voices of our better angels as individuals, as families, as a community and as a society,” he added. “We are going to get through this. The only question is how we get through it and when we get through it. But let’s make sure at the end of the day we can say we are the better for it and our children are the better for it, and they will be.”

European Union will close its borders to all non-essential travel to fight coronavirus

Madrid (ITNTV) The European Union will close its borders to all non-essential travel as it attempts to contain the  ongoing spread of the coronavirus  on the continent. "The less travel, the more we can contain the virus," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday following a video conference between G7 leaders. She appeared confident that the European Council would sign off on the restriction in a Tuesday vote. The bloc's member states imposed aggressive measures on Monday,  days after the  World Health Organization (WHO) said Europe was at the epicenter of the pandemic.

US uses encrypted app to connect with Iranians as coronavirus sweeps their country

Washington (ITNTV) The State Department is using social media to encourage Iranians to share information with the Trump administration -- both on an encrypted tip line and through an online survey -- about the  coronavirus pandemic  that is devastating the country. "This is Iran's Chernobyl," said one administration official of the outbreak, who described social media portals as a tool to bypass the Iranian regime and connect to the country's people. The US began encouraging Iranians to use the encrypted messaging app last year, when Iranian demonstrators took to the streets and US officials wanted to learn more about the regime's bloody crackdown. Now, with Covid-19 devastating Iran, the tip line has been reinvigorated, administration officials told CNN. This time, the goal is to collect information from Iranians, find ways to share that information when it is determined to be accurate and leverage the coronavirus in an effort to fortify a relationship ...
