The US records its highest daily death toll as almost 20 states ease lockdown restrictions, WHO reports
On Friday, protesters took to the streets in states including California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee, and Washington.The data published by the WHO is different from that of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . It does not report historical daily coronavirus deaths, according to CNBC.
CDC spokeswoman Kate Grusich told CNBC: "CDC does not know the exact number of COVID-19 illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths for a variety of reasons." New York Governor Andrew Cuomo — whose state is one of the worst-affected in the country —said on Saturday that he needs more information about the spread of the virus before loosening restrictions,"Even when you are in uncharted waters, it doesn't mean you proceed blindly," Cuomo said.
"Use the information to determine action — not emotions, not politics, not what people think or feel, but what we know in terms of facts," he added.
