The U.S. reported the number of COVID-19-related deaths in a day since May, but California showed signs of improvement on Thursday.
And as schools open around the world, it’s worth noting a United Nations report that almost a portion of them don’t have water or soap for young people to wash their hands.
The most recent daily death toll in the U.S. 1,499, bringing the death toll in the country to more than 166,000, Johns Hopkins’ information panel reported Thursday. The United States in 5.2 million showed cases. Iowa reported its case 50,000 and Illinois at the breaking point of 200,000 cases.
College football is still news. The Big 12 Conference announced Wednesday that it is advancing its fall school football season. His championship game is scheduled for December 5. The announcement comes a day after the Big Ten and Pac-12 meetings postponed their seasons in the spring.
Here are some developments:
? Figures today: Worldwide, there have been approximately 750,000 deaths and more than 20.6 million cases, according to Johns Hopkins University.
? What We Read: The Coronavirus Pandemic will be the grocery shopping season for this year’s return to school, as some schools across the country still make the decision to start the year at the user or only online.
The United Nations estimates that 43% of schools worldwide do not have access to water and soap for hand washing. The new report is presented as countries on when and how to open safe schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization and UNICEF report indicates that more than a third of the world’s 818 million young people who did not have basic hand-washing services in their schools last year are in sub-Saharan Africa.
“We want to prioritize children’s learning,” said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore.
California is experiencing a decrease in instances and hospitalizations shown by COVID-19 as the state begins at late-stage instances caused by a technical problem, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday. Hospitalization rates have fallen by 21% and admissions for extensive care by up to 15% in the following two weeks, according to Newsom.
The state reported 5,433 new infections on Wednesday, which Newsom called “a new indication that we are achieving the milestone of this pandemic.” Last month, the state reached a record 12,807 new instances amid the pandemic.
Arizona’s pediatric rate reflects its overall rate of COVID-19 infection, which remains one of the country’s when all age equipment is included. The state case rate among youth and young adults over the age of 19 and younger is 1,206.4 consistent with another 100,000 people in this age group, and is the only non-Southern state among the five most sensitive.

The number of Americans presenting new task programs may continue to overturn, increase, and then decrease slightly, but it will most likely remain on top while economic uncertainty persists amid the coronavirus outbreak. About 1.25 million Americans first implemented unemployment insurance last week, economists estimate.
That would be a slight increase over last week and occurs when unemployed Americans are doing well without the federal weekly perks of more than $600 that started the pandemic and ended in July.
Unemployment fell to 10.2% in July since June 11.1%. But the nascent recovery has been uneven, with re-treats expanding in some industries and stagnating in others.

Florida will begin offering coronavirus controls for Disney World cast members this week, ending a nearly two-month dispute with a union representing the park’s actors. According to Disney, the verification site will be controlled through the Florida Emergency Management Division and will be located on Disney’s property, but not in the park. Checks will be given to Disney workers and visitors, as well as Florida residents.
Disney officials told their staff on an ice that there would be a compromised verification follow-up for their staff and their families, and that reservations can be made to verify from Thursday. “As a reminder, checks are voluntary and distribution members will be paid for the time of the checks,” says Ice.
According to Kate Shindle, chairwoman of the Actors’ Equity Association, the union has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Disney to allow many actors to return to work. The union began lobbying Disney World to offer evidence to its members last June, before the park reopened in July.
Americans from all political spheres have transitional immigration restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, yet the country remains divided on immigration law enforcement, adding President Donald Trump’s push to expand the southern border wall, according to a national poll published Thursday.
The Public Agenda /USA TODAY/Ipsos vote also highlights a developing gap between Trump’s radical immigration policies and the priorities of Republicans, who are primarily many of the immigration policies the president has tried to dismantle.
As the coronavirus continues to spread through the United States, a large majority of Republicans (81%), a plurality of Democrats (49%) and a majority of independents (62%) claimed that the U.S. government He had done the right thing by temporarily adopting immigration restrictions in an effort to curb the spread of the pandemic. The national survey was conducted in May, after the president issued opposing restrictions on China, Europe, Mexico, and Canada.

Most of these main points will be negotiated between the teachers union and the district, such as parameters on how teachers spend their time and student support.
A recent survey provides a brief overview of a national challenge that some concerns will escalate in the fall when young people return to school for face-to-face classes.
The national survey, published Wednesday and conducted through Orlando Health, found that the vast majority of parents are the most productive way to protect their children from infectious diseases, yet two-thirds are still nervous about taking their children to their pediatrician’s workplace because of COVID. -19.
While it’s certain that the new school year will lead to a new epidemic, doctors say it’s out of the realm of possibility. Experts urge parents who have not received planned vaccinations for their children to call their doctor and implement a recovery plan.
