Coronavirus ‘dossier’ was a basic timeline of facts handed out by US State Department with no new evidence – ABC News
“I think the greater concern is that [the non-paper is] essentially a speculative document somehow dressed up to be a highly authoritative piece of intelligence, which from all appearances it doesn’t seem to be.” “I think what has happened here is that a document of no intrinsic significance whatsoever has been inflated into an importance which it simply doesn’t have,” said head of The Australia Institute’s International and Security Affairs program, Allan Behm.

The hardest part of this is knowing, down in my soul, that it didn’t have to be this way. It just didn’t. These people died because of Incompetence, Malice, and Racism.
Avian Flu Diary: MRC Report #23: State-level Tracking of COVID-19 in the United States
Our estimates suggest that the epidemic is not under control in much of the US: as of 17 May 2020, the reproduction number is above the critical threshold (1.0) in 24 [95% CI: 20-30] states. Higher reproduction numbers are geographically clustered in the South and Midwest, where epidemics are still developing, while we estimate lower reproduction numbers in states that have already suffered high COVID-19 mortality (such as the Northeast). These estimates suggest that caution must be taken in loosening current restrictions if effective additional measures are not put in place. We predict that increased mobility following relaxation of social distancing will lead to resurgence of transmission, keeping all else constant. We predict that deaths over the next two-month period could exceed current cumulative deaths by greater than two-fold, if the relationship between mobility and transmission remains unchanged. Our results suggest that factors modulating transmission such as rapid testing, contact tracing and behavioural precautions are crucial to offset the rise of transmission associated with loosening of social distancing.

Trump Administration Backpedals on Official Claim of ‘About 95,000’ U.S. Coronavirus Deaths, Believes Number is Lower
Health officials have repeatedly warned that could mean the actual death toll is likely to be higher than the official count, as opposed to lower.
Earlier this week, a new study published by Columbia University found that up to 54,000 lives could have been saved had the U.S. implemented social distancing measures and locked down metropolitan areas from the beginning of March
But last week, President Trump said he accepted the official toll and that he expected at least 95,000 people to die from coronavirus in the U.S, but that the figure could reach 100,000.
Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a recombinant adenovirus type-5 vectored COVID-19 vaccine: a dose-escalation, open-label, non-randomised, first-in-human trial – The Lancet
Many vaccine candidates are in rapid development, including recombinant-protein based vaccines, replicating or non-replicating viral vector-based vaccines, DNA vaccines, and mRNA vaccines (which mostly have focused on the spike glycoprotein or receptor binding domain), live attenuated vaccines, and inactivated virus vaccines. All of these vaccine platforms have advantages and disadvantages, and it is too soon to predict which will be more successful. Our study suggests that there is potential for further investigation of the Ad5 vectored COVID-19 vaccine for prevention of COVID-19.

After the president’s remarks, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany “said the decision to reopen based on the new federal guidance is “up to the governors.’”
The CDC also published a detailed report about how an Arkansas church was the center of an outbreak: “Among 92 attendees at a rural Arkansas church during March 6–11, 35 (38%) developed laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, and three persons died. Highest attack rates were in persons aged 19–64 years (59%) and ≥65 years (50%). An additional 26 cases linked to the church occurred in the community, including one death.”
This past week, two churches, one in Georgia and one in Texas, were forced to close after parishioners tested positive for coronavirus.
