More than 2,200 new cases were announced in Wisconsin, a single-day record for the state. Wisconsin added more cases in the following week than in any seven-day era of the pandemic.
A strongly criticized tip from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month about who should be tested for the coronavirus was not written through the CDC and published on the agency’s online page despite its serious objections, according to several other people close to the case as well as internal documents received through the New York Times.
The rules indicated that it was not mandatory to monitor others without Covid-19 symptoms even if they had been exposed to the virus. This came at a time when public fitness experts were asking for more controls than less, and management officials told The Times that the document was a CDC and had been reviewed with input from the agency’s director, Dr. Robert R. Redfield.
But he told The Times this week that the Department of Health and Human Services had rewritten it himself and then “dropped” it on the C. D. C. ‘s public website, ignoring the agency’s strict clinical review process.
“It was a document that came from the most sensible to the end, from HHS and the working group,” an informed federal official said, referring to the White House working group on coronavirus. “This policy doesn’t reflect what many other people are in the CDC’s feeling is political.
Admiral Brett Giroir, administration coordinator and deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC’s parent organization, said in an interview Thursday that the original assignment came here from the CDC, but that he “coordinated the edition and contribution. medical members of the group of brokers. “
Over a period of one month, he said, the draft had about 20 versions, with comments from Dr. Redfield; key members of the White House Working Group, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx; and Dr. Scott Atlas, President Trump’s coronavirus adviser. Members also presented the document to Vice President Mike Pence, who heads the working group, Admiral Giroir said.
CDC, scientists’ objections to the prepublished document have not been heard. A senior CDC official told scientists, “We don’t have the ability to make really extensive changes,” according to an email received through The Times.
Similarly, a paper highlighting “the importance of reopening schools” was also presented on the CDC website through the Department of Health and Human Services in July and is obviously out of tune with the same impartial and clinical tone in Washington, authorities said.
Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Thursday called on President Trump’s presidential crusade over the management of the coronavirus.
Appearing on CNN on a town hall-style occasion less than two weeks before the first presidential debate, Biden called the president a ruthless leader and rebuked Attorney General William P. Barr for suggesting that home maintenance mandates are the greatest risk to people. freedoms from slavery.
“What deprives you of your freedom is not being to see your child, not to be to go to the football or baseball game, not to be to see your mom or dad in poor health in the hospital, not to be to do things, that’s what our freedom values us,” Biden said. And that’s the failure of this president to deal with this virus, and he knew it. “
On other occasions, Biden noted the revelations in a new e-book through journalist Bob Woodward that the president had knowingly minimized the importance of coronavirus, adding to his past warnings that Mr. Woodward did. Trump had politicized the deployment of a vaccine.
“I don’t accept as true the president with the vaccines,” Biden said in the city corridor near the home of his training years in Scranton, Pennsylvania, as the public listened from his cars. “I accept as true with dr. Fauci. Si Fauci says a vaccine is safe, I would take it. “
Biden also said he may not have a national mask order anywhere, breaking with a position he had taken the previous day, but said he would have the strength to do so “on federal lands. “
Many states require the use of masks and have issued orders to remain at home to stop the spread of the virus. Earlier this week, Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned that the mask could be more effective in fighting the pandemic than a vaccine, just for that reason, M. Trump called it a mistake.
Biden’s appearance, the largest nationally since he accepted the Democratic nomination last month, came the same night President Trump announced about $13 billion for farmers at an election rally in Wisconsin’s battlefield state.
More than 2,200 new cases were announced Thursday in Wisconsin, a single-day record, according to a New York Times database, and the state added more cases in the following week than in any other seven-day pandemic era. Johnson of Wisconsin canceled his goal of going home in the state with Trump and showing up at the rally, saying he would isolate himself for two weeks after coming into contact with an inflamed person.
Early Thursday, a former vice president’s security assistant Mike Pence backed Biden and accused President Trump of radically mis-handling the reaction to the coronavirus crisis.
Former assistant Olivia Troye played a decisive role in the management of the White House Coronavirus Working Group until she left government last month. In an online ad, he claimed that he voted for Biden because he thought the country was in a “constitutional crisis” and that “at this point, it’s an off-the-holiday country. “
Pence fired from the White House.
“I haven’t read your comments in detail,” he said Thursday at an assembly of the Coronavirus Commission for Safety and Quality in Nursing Homes. “But that seems to me to be another disgruntled worker who made the decision to get into politics in an election year. “
More than 30 million cases of coronavirus were reported internationally on Thursday, according to a New York Times database. India, in particular, has recently contributed to the recount, adding an average of more than 93,000 new cases in line with the day in the following week.
Some of the countries that were hit hard at the beginning have seen a decline in cases, yet the number of new reported infections is expanding faster than ever in the world as many countries have stepped up their detection efforts. now more than 250,000 consistent with global day. The reached 10 million instances on June 28 and 20 million on August 10.
The United States has the number of instances in the world: more than 6. 7 million; then comes India, with more than 5. 1 million and Brazil, with about 4. 4 million; but in the last seven days, India has added more than 652,000 instances, more than twice as much as the United States during the same period, and nearly 3 times more than Brazil. However, the number of recent capital cases in India remains much lower than the other two.
Nearly 200,000 more people have died of the virus in the United States and 134,000 in Brazil. No other country has recorded 100,000 virus-related deaths.
The United States ranks 11th in terms of deaths per capita, Brazil and countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Belgium, Spain and the United Kingdom. The virus is wreaking havoc in Latin America, which includes 8 of the 10 countries with the highest number of reported deaths consistent with capita in the following week.
By Thursday morning, at least 940,100 inflamed people had died internationally and the virus had been detected in almost every country.
A new paper published Thursday in the medical journal Health Affairs estimates that at least 42% of workers running in U. S. schools are estimated to be in the middle of the world. But it’s not the first time They are most at risk of serious cases of Covid-19, a significant increase in evidence of past threats to school workers.
Nearly 10 million adults paint in schools across the United States, adding teachers, principals, and staff, authors estimate. Previous studies have focused on teachers, concluding that about a quarter of them, or 1. 5 million, suffer from diseases that place them at the top. threat of serious coronavirus headaches.
The new study was expanded to read about all school employees, knowledge of a family survey that collects detailed knowledge about the health, socioeconomics, and employment of American families. The survey is conducted annually through the Federal Agency for The Research and Quality of Health Care, a department of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists several points that put others at the main threat of severe Covid-19 cases, adding obesity, diabetes, central illness, and being 65 or older. that at least 42% of school painters fall into at least one of these categories.
Obesity was the main thing that broadened the threat point for school employees, the authors reported, and staff were more likely than teachers or principals to be at maximum threat.
The authors did not draw general conclusions about the desirability of reopening classrooms and described their findings on the number of school workers threatened as “a piece of the puzzle. “They noted that the application of methods through the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine can help mitigate the threat of virus spread in schools.
As President Trump intensifies his promise of an effective coronavirus vaccine through Election Day, the percentage of Americans willing to take it has fallen rapidly, according to a new poll.
The Pew Research Group, which taught 10,093 U. S. adults from September 8-13, found that 51% of Americans said they would get the vaccine, representing a minimum of 21 percentage points since May, when 72 percent said they could simply do so.
Today, 49, in line with the percent of respondents, said they would “probably” or “certainly” do so.
78% of respondents felt that the progression procedure had been too hasty. While the self-proclaimed Republican electorate was less critical of the procedure than Democrats, a significant majority of both teams were skeptical of speed (despite repeated statements by the president that a vaccine that will be available in October, scientists, businesses, and federal officials say that, at most, others won’t get one until next year). In addition, 77% of respondents said they believe a vaccine would be approved before its protection or efficacy. it is fully understood
Messages about a possible vaccine have become very politicized. Trump has publicly rebuked Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after the doctor told a Senate subcommittee Wednesday that most Americans would not have access to a vaccine until next summer and that facial covers are more effective than a vaccine anyway.
The survey also found net divisions between races and ethnicities; 52% of white respondents said they would take a vaccine, compared to 32% of black respondents. Both figures are lower than in May. The maximum number of equipment likely to get a vaccine was Asians, with 72%, and Latinos with 56%.
California President Nancy Pelosi on Thursday doubled demands for a $2. 2 trillion stimulus bill, even as White House officials pointed to a smaller package that has generated little enthusiasm among Democratic leaders.
“It’s hard to see how we can approve of a decline when we see the wonderful needs,” Pelosi said at a press conference Thursday to call for more relief as the country approaches 200,000 pandemic deaths. He said Democrats had shown a willingness to commit to the White House by lowering their overall order from more than $1 trillion, to a $3. 4 trillion relief bill passed through the House in May.
At the White House, Mark Meadows, the White House staff leader, rejected Pelosi’s $2. 2 trillion request as “not a negotiation. “
“It’s an ultimatum,” he reports.
Backed by top-level Democrats, Pelosi continued to keep the company in number despite developing considerations from moderate Democrats that the stalemate over some other bailout will last until the November election, starving American families and businesses. of fundamental help. This past week, when Pelosi’s most sensitive lieutenants temporarily set out a $ 1. 5 trillion commitment framework presented through a bipartisan organization of lawmakers in an effort to break the deadlock.
President Trump, however, said he was open to the proposal, presented through a coalition that called itself the Caucus of House problem solvers, a sentiment that Trump echoed from Meadows.
“I’d like to see as many other people as possible,” Trump said at a white space news convention on Wednesday. “Yes, I’d like to see it. There are some things I don’t agree with yet. “I’m sure they can be negotiated. “
But Senate Republicans, who last week brought a rudimentary stimulus package that would provide $350 billion in new federal funds, are unlikely to accept a much larger package.

We have a very serious scenario ahead of us: weekly instances have now surpassed those reported when the pandemic first occurred in Europe in March; last week, the region’s weekly count exceeded 300,000 patients; more than part of European countries have reported an increase. more than 10% in cases in the last two weeks. Of these, seven countries recorded new cases more than double during the same period. In the spring and early summer, we saw the effect of strict blocking measures. efforts, our sacrifices have paid off. In June, cases reached an all-time low. However, September case numbers deserve to serve as a reminder to all of us. While these figures reflect more comprehensive evidence, they also show alarming transmission rates across the region.
The World Health Organization warned Thursday of a “very serious” resurgence of coronavirus in Europe, but said transmission could be limited through local than national measures.
Hans Kluge, regional director of the O. H. O. , told reporters”We have a very serious scenario unfolding before us. For Europe. Weekly cases have now surpassed those reported when the pandemic peaked in Europe in March. “
The number of cases of viruses has increased by more than 10% in the last two weeks in more than Part of European countries, said Dr. Kluge, who noted that in seven countries the number of cases had doubled.
“While those figures are more comprehensive evidence, they also show alarming transmission rates,” he said. The region has recorded at least 220,000 deaths from the virus.
“In many cases, those spikes can be involved locally,” he added. “In this regard, I hope that national closures have been avoided as much as possible. “
Britain’s fitness secretary said Thursday that nearly two million more people in north-east England will not be able to gather anyone outside their homes as a component of the country’s most recent local closures.
And in France, a number of developing cities, including Lyon and Nice, are experiencing a worrying spread of coronavirus and will have to enact new restrictions on public meetings, the French fitness minister said Thursday.
The rate of new instances consistent with the capita in France in the last seven days is lately one of the highest in Europe, with 91 instances consisting of 100,000 inhabitants, compared to 10 at the end of July. “infection vectors,” said Olivier Véran, the country’s fitness minister.
In the Czech Republic, about a quarter of the country’s 41,000 total cases have been reported in the following week, as the country is facing one of the fastest-developing outbreaks in Europe. In an effort to complete closure, the government has reintroduced specific restrictive measures, adding a ban on indoor meetings for more than 10 people, mandatory indoor masking and reduced schedules for bars and restaurants.

So here’s the updated technique we’re going to take, and it’s multi-phase. They move quickly, so we can serve young people and families well. But they will come with some changes from the previous schedule. So this is who we are. I’m going to do. Starting this Monday, September 21, the preschools of 3-K and pre-K will be open, the pre-K and 3-K categories will be open, the schools of the 7th District, the schools that serve our young people in special education, the young people who love and love, those schools will be open. Then we will have the next phase on Tuesday, September 29, when K to 5 schools and K schools will open to 8, and then on Thursday, October 1, Schools and the best schools will open. Now this means in-person learning, distance learning has obviously already begun. Guidance has begun, distance learning will continue for all academics as those stages come into play.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio delayed the start of the top categories face-to-face in public schools on Thursday, recognizing that the formula had not yet fully triumphed over the many obstacles he faced in returning the coronavirus pandemic to young people.
The abrupt announcement struck the mayor’s efforts to make New York one of the few major cities in the country to teach face-to-face classes, and threatened to deepen considerations and confusion over whether the mayor and his management had mis handled the situation. reopen by pronouncing and then pushing them back.
Instead of a triumphant return to schools for all students who sought face-to-face learning starting Monday, the city will bring students back to the study rooms on an ongoing basis, starting with younger children, who will show up for Next Week Pre-K students and students with complex special desires will return on Monday.
On September 29, number one schools will open and schools and the best schools will open on October 1.
All other students will start the school year remotely on Monday.
The mayor said at a press conference Thursday morning that he had to opt for a slow reopening after having a multi-hour verbal exchange Wednesday with union leaders representing the city’s directors and teachers.
These union leaders have explicitly warned for weeks that schools were not in a position to reopen for a thousand reasons, ranging from poor ventilation in some old buildings to severe staff shortages that, according to the principals’ union, can leave the city in search of 10,000 educators.
M. de Blasio said the instructor’s scarcity is his main explanation of why to delay face-to-face categories again.
“We are doing this to make sure that all the criteria we have set can be met,” blasio said Thursday morning, adding that the plan to reopen evolved through reading “best practices from around the world. “
More than 40% of parents have already chosen to take the categories in person, and this number is likely to increase, reflecting the deep frustration of families with the city’s reopening efforts and skepticism about school readiness.
Moderna and Pfizer, two leading pharmaceutical companies to expand coronavirus vaccines, published comprehensive clinical trial roadmaps on Thursday.
Companies wait for percentage of those plans or protocols until the studies are completed. The revelations in the trials, a rare move, aimed to respond to growing suspicion among Americans that President Trump’s willingness to produce a vaccine before the November 3 election could simply result in a harmful product.
The plans come with data on how participants are decided and monitored, situations in which trials can stop prematurely in the event of a problem, and evidence that researchers will use to determine whether or not those who won the vaccines were protected from Covid. -19. The Modern exam will involve 30,000 participants and 44,000 Pfizer.
The plan published through Moderna on Thursday morning included a very likely schedule to determine if your vaccine is working, which may also succeed next year, which did not conform to the president’s positive forecasts that a vaccine would be widely available to the public instead, he indicated that the company’s first research on initial verification knowledge would possibly not be completed until late December , corporate officials now say they are awaiting the initial investigation in November. The final investigation would possibly not take a position until months later. as spring approaches next year.
Pfizer’s plan does not seem to estimate when its effects might be available. Its executive leader has said the company expects to have a reaction from October. Moderna only said it could have a result before the end of the year.
Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told senators Wednesday that a vaccine would not be available until midway through next year. Hours later, Trump vigorously countered him, making insalvable projections. that a vaccine can be widely available in weeks.
