More than 180,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus and 5.8 million Americans have tested positive, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed its testing guidelines to say people who did not show symptoms of the virus dud not need to be tested, even though someone who is asymptomatic can still spread it. The CDC later said it meant people who are at risk of "significant exposure" should still be tested, as well as "critical infrastructure workers, healthcare workers, and first responders, or those individuals who may be asymptomatic when prioritized by medical and public health officials," reports CBS News.

prevnext1,200+ people died today of COVID-19. Donald Trump’s (illegal) White House convention speech—which has no social distancing or mask requirement—could become a COVID super-spreader event. This is so irresponsible and immoral. #RNC2020 #TrumpChaos pic.twitter.com/yWnWqZKFiY
