India reported 97,894 new instances of the virus on Wednesday, its highest one-day accumulation to date, bringing the seven-day average of new instances to 93,199.
California President Nancy Pelosi on Thursday doubled demands for a stimulus bill of at least $2. 2 trillion, 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 reducing their overall order of more than $1 trillion, to the $3. 4 trillion relief bill passed through the House in May.
At the White House, Mark Meadows, the White House staff leader, said Pelosi’s $2. 2 trillion request “is 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 adopt a much larger package.

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 at 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 sudden 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 convention Thursday morning that he had to go through a slow reopening after having had 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, could leave the city in search of 10,000 educators.
Mr. de Blasio said the shortage of the instructor is his main explanation for delaying face-to-face categories again.
“We are doing this to meet all the criteria we have set ourselves,” Mr. de Blasio said Thursday morning, adding that the reopening plan had been drawn up from 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.
As schools reopen, reliable and immediate testing will be essential to ensure the protection of students, parents, and students. Public schools will begin randomly evaluating between 10 and 20% of students and the month, starting in October.
Biotechnology company Moderna published a 135-page paper thursday detailing how it is achieving the complex trial of its coronavirus vaccine and how protection and efficacy will be determined.
The paper suggests that the first research into the knowledge of the trial might not be conducted until the end of December and that there may not be enough data to know if the vaccine is working. Subsequent analyses, scheduled for March and May, are most likely to give an answer.
The company is one of the pioneers in the race to produce a vaccine to combat the pandemic. Modernna’s vaccine uses the genetic material of the virus, called mRN, to induce cells in the body to produce a fragment of the virus that will cause the immune formula fights infection.
The vaccine is now in a Phase 3 exam that has recruited more than 25,000 of the 30,000 planned volunteers, and Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s leading medical officer, said recruitment will end in the coming weeks.
Approximately 28% of participants are black, Latino, or other equipment affected by the disease. A varied directory that is considered essential.
Half of the participants get the vaccine and the part gets a placebo vaccine consisting of salt water. Two strokes are required, 4 weeks apart. Participants are then monitored to see if they expand Covid-19 symptoms and are positive for the virus.
The side effects of the vaccine are also monitored, participants record their symptoms in electronic journals, take their own temperature, go to the clinic and receive regular phone calls to assess their condition. The vaccine can cause brief reactions such as arm pain, fever, chills, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and headache.
For the effectiveness of the vaccine, Covid-19 instances are counted only if they occur two weeks after the time of injection. Some patients are already two weeks after the time of the injection, however, Dr. Zaks said he did not know if there were any participants in the trial. had still contracted Covid-19.
A total of 151 cases, divided between vaccine and placebo teams, will be sufficient to determine whether the vaccine is 60% effective. The Food and Drug Administration has set the bar at 50, according to the penny.
The new IU programs fell to 790,000 last week before adjusting seasonal factors, the Department of Labor reported Thursday.
The weekly count is approximately 4 times higher than before the coronavirus pandemic closed many companies in March. On a seasonally adjusted basis, 860,000 programs were presented, less than last week.
Six months after the closures began, the US economy was in the process of its allies. But it’s not the first time It remains on a volatile floor and layoffs continue at an extremely high point through old standards.
The scenario was aggravated by Congress’ inability to agree on new federal assistance for the unemployed.
A weekly $600 supplement set in March that allowed many families to stay afloat expired in late July. President Trump’s impromptu replacement last month has experienced processing delays in some states and would stop for a few weeks.
“The hard work market is stagnant,” said Scott Anderson, a leading economist at Bank of the West in San Francisco. “We are facing more headwinds, with the stimulus package postponed to Congress. “
The new pandemic unemployment assistance programs, a federal emergency program for self-employed, self-employed and other workers eligible for normal unemployment benefits, totaled 659,000, according to the Ministry of Labour.
Federal knowledge recommends that the program now have more beneficiaries than the normal UI, but there is evidence that excessive counting and fraud may have helped increase the number of claims.
