Coronavirus
Covid-19 has now infected more than
3 million people worldwide and at least 1 million in the United States, and
top disease experts say a second wave is all but inevitable. Dr. Anthony Fauci says the US
"could be in for a bad fall and a bad winter" if countermeasures
like testing and social distancing aren't implemented in time. If a second
wave coincides with flu season, well, it could be even worse. Around the
world, some countries mark optimistic new milestones, while others are
struggling. China announced it will hold its annual
parliamentary meeting in May after a two-month delay, a sure sign the
country's confident in its coronavirus recovery. But Britain's Office of National Statistics revealed
the death toll in England and Wales was up to 54% higher through
mid-April than previously reported. Canada, meanwhile, is seeing deaths spike even though the
disease has spread slowly in the country. In Lebanon, violent protests are breaking out due to increased
hunger and poverty in the wake of the pandemic. (CNN)
