A New York study seeking to measure the spread of the new coronavirus found that 13.9% of 3,000 people tested across the state had signs of the virus, one of the biggest U.S. reviews to date.
That implies that about 2.7 million residents may have had Covid-19, Governor Andrew Cuomo said. That’s about 10 times more than the official count based on the state’s testing, which covered mostly very sick patients.
The pandemic was more intense in New York City, the hardest-hit area in the U.S. There, 21.2% of people tested positive for a blood marker showing that they had been infected at some point.

Dr. Rick Bright, who led the federal agency charged with helping find a vaccine for COVID-19, was removed from his post this week. Bright says he was ousted because he questioned the use of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug pushed by President Donald Trump, as a coronavirus treatment. Former Obama White House official Andy Slavitt says Bright’s reassignment is “like the Patriots pulling Tom Brady in the 4th quarter, with the team down by six, facing elimination… This is a guy you want on the field right now.” Aired on 4/22/2020.

The UK will likely keep in place social distancing measures until the government believes COVID-19 is under control. But what methods are the government implementing to fight the virus?
The first is to fund several projects researching a vaccine for coronavirus. Both the University of Oxford and Imperial College London are running clinical trials to find a vaccine with government funds. Once a vaccine is found and distributed on mass, medical experts expect the COVID-19 pandemic to be over.
The second strategy is to attempt to figure out how much of the population is infected or have previously been infected with the virus and therefore are immune to COVID-19. To do this a new study is being rolled out, testing over 20,000 English households to improve understanding of just how far the virus has spread. Volunteers will have to take regular swab tests to see if they currently have the virus and 1,000 of them will take blood tests, or anti-body tests, to see if they have previously had coronavirus. This will be key to giving the government enough data to see when lockdown measures can start to be relaxed.
