Even as Spain reported another uptick in infections and fatalities today, the Spanish government announced plans to gradually ease lockdown measures across the country.

Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus response coordinator, indicated Wednesday that the U.S. would investigate the World Health Organization's handling of the pandemic before deciding whether to withhold its funding to the United Nations' health agency.

President Donald Trump speaks during the daily briefing on the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, in the Brady Briefing Room at the White House on April 7, 2020, in Washington. "Believe me, they already have their continuation funds from last year," she added."So this is a year-by-year commitment to the WHO, this is our required commitment. There's also voluntary commitments that we've made to the WHO through history, including over the last couple of years for HIV, malaria, TB, so a whole series of diseases."Dr. Deborah Birx appears on "Good Morning America," April 8, 2020.

"This makes a very big difference in really understanding who can go back to work and how they can go back to work," she said."So all of those pieces need to come together over the next couple of weeks."Chinese authorities have lifted a monthslong lockdown on Wuhan, the city where the coronavirus pandemic began.

This aerial photo taken early on April 8, 2020, shows cars queueing at a highway toll station in Wuhan in China's central Hubei province as they prepare to leave the city after authorities lifted a monthslong ban on outbound travel due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

You keep comparing the deaths to 9/11 does that mean you think this is an act of terrorism? Which 911 was!

400 people dead in Canada with a population of 35 million. 14,000 dead in the US with a population of 350 million. Trump and the US are FAILING badly.

Must be Trump's cousin
