See Worldwide map: Note that Africa has very few cases and deaths, especially in the areas where Quinine, the anti-malaria drug is used frequently! This is the basis of the drug, Hydroxychloroquine, that Trump is fast-tracking the FDA trials to get to the U.S. population as quickly as the House lets the pork out of the relief bill. We have to save lives before we build windmills. Relevant Information: https://globalrumblings.blogspot.com/2020/03/clinical-study-finds-possible-cure-for.html

Live tracker: How many coronavirus cases have been reported in each U.S. state?
Using data from the COVID Tracking Project, we’re following how each state is responding to COVID-19.
"The data isn’t perfect. Since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn’t yet begun publicly releasing the number of people who have been tested, The COVID Tracking Project is pulling data from state health departments, which can vary in the way they report tests and infections."
The White House Correspondents Association said one of its members is suspected of having Covid-19, something that could put Donald Trump’s daily press briefings at risk - or at least raise the possibility of them being done remotely.
Donald Trump asked the country not to blame Asian Americans. Reiterating a Tweet of his from earlier in the day, Trump at a White House press briefing said: “It’s very important that we protect our Asian American community in the US and all around the world. They’re amazing people and the spreading of the virus is not their fault in any way, shape or form.”
Antonio Guterres, the United Nations secretary general, has appealed for an immediate global ceasefire, calling on an end to all armed conflicts so that the world can instead focus on fighting Coronavirus.
The UK was placed under lockdown. Boris Johnson will order police to enforce a strict coronavirus lockdown, with a ban on gatherings of more than two people and strict limits on exercise, as he told the British public: “You must stay at home.”
Japan’s government is negotiating with the International Olympic Committee to postpone the Tokyo Olympic Games by a maximum one year, the Sankei newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Global recoveries passed 100,000 but the pandemic ‘is accelerating’. The World Health Organization said it had taken 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000 cases, and only four for the third 100,000 cases.
UK deaths reach 335 and Britons abroad told to come home. The Foreign Office urged as many as a million Britons on holiday or business trips abroad to return to the UK immediately.
Italy registered a smaller day-to-day increase in new coronavirus cases for the second day. The death toll from the outbreak grew by 602 to 6,078, the head of the Civil Protection Agency said. While that is an 11% increase, it is the smallest nominal rise since last Thursday.
The first UK clinical trial enrolled patients. Researchers from the University of Oxford launched a clinical trial to test the effects of potential drug treatments for patients admitted to hospital with the virus. There are currently no specific treatments for the coronavirus, but it is possible that existing drugs used for other conditions may have some benefits.
New York state confirmed 20,000 infections. The governor, Andrew Cuomo, said the state had 5,707 new cases, meaning it has confirmed 20,875 in total.
Panama confirmed the death one of the youngest victims of the virus, a 13-year-old girl. Medical experts have been trying to drum home the warning that, while older people and those with underlying conditions are at greater risk, they are not the only ones who need to take precautionary measures.
Denmark extended its lockdown. The nationwide restrictions will now last until 13 April.
Russia may be forced to put off a public vote on amendments allowing Vladimir Putin to hold office until 2036. The Kremlin has not rescheduled the 22 April vote, but the prospect was explicitly acknowledged by Putin’s spokesman.
