School closures due to the coronavirus pandemic in over 160 countries in mid-July affected more than 1 billion students, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says.

7:42 a.m.: 'We have to take this seriously,' FDA commissioner says

"That's really the message we want the American people to know, that we have to take this seriously," he added."We need to get these case numbers down." Meanwhile, at least 40 million children have missed out on education"in their critical pre-school year," according to Guterres, who warned that the world faces"a generational catastrophe that could waste untold human potential, undermine decades of progress, and exacerbate entrenched inequalities."

"We are at a defining moment for the world’s children and young people," Guterres said in a video message Tuesday."The decisions that governments and partners take now will have lasting impact on hundreds of millions of young people, and on the development prospects of countries for decades to come."Russia reported 5,159 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, its lowest day-to-day increase since April 23.

7NY Maybe because he would give it to himself

They should be careful

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He is literally part of the lowest risk group on the planet, and the media has scared them all stupid. 0.036% of the population has died from this with the average age of death over 75 and with serious comorbidities. His chance of dying is less than from the flu. Time to end this

Wow.

Because singles tennis is sOOOoo crowded

Tyler Perry, surprises 3 black people on gma, now who is rasict?

Your company and the show what would u do. is rasict and selling out to the radical left democats. How much do u receive for your lies

7NY That was the right thing to do. Good for him

Does that mean Mardy Fish has a chance now?

Good decision Rafa !

7NY no hwey ho ze

7NY It’s easy not to work when you are a millionaire. Most of us don’t have the luxury to not work!

The US Open needs to be cancelled. Now.

It’s only a game

I think it’s the right call, a hard one I’m sure. I feel for so many athletes that work so hard for their craft. My son being one of them!

Very wise decision. Miss you Rafa!!

That’s ridiculous, his choice but man-up dude. Young and healthy, private jet ride to the tourney, around the clock pampering, all the Clorox you can drink!!

Probably for the best, but you will be missed!

understood... this moment, care by yourself

I can’t blame him. Why would anyone want to come here with Trump destroying the country and killing its citizens?

He is right

THEY ARE TOTAL WIMPS JUST PROVES COPS AND MILITARY ARE THE REAL HEROS

Smart plan! If i had your resources, i’d wait until there is vaccine, cure, and everyone in the world already had it

Smart move!

See a side-by-side comparison of cases & deaths day-by-day and over time, based on the latest reported government data:

That’s funny since she just said on Sunday things were basically still out of control and spreading extraordinarily. I guess trump forced her to back off after calling her pathetic

White house and says in the headline, means nothing but another lie from the Trump administration!

it is always 2 weeks and then 2 more weeks in 2 weeks. Same bullshit everyday but the idiot sheep just keep believing them

If you shove that swab up your butt would it do the same thing 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪test comes back positive!!!!!

Masks don't work...

Xi and ABC are displeased

No need to report on her. For most of us she has been in the same league as the alien sperm doctor when she sat and just smiled at his light and bleach therapy comments.

How is it possible to see a drop in deaths ? Is the expectation some dead will come back to life? Of coarse deaths will continue to rise you morons that’s not news death RATES are dropping a ton report that

Over 5 months now and your proud to say under 50,000 cases, with any kind of leadership it should be damn near flat !

Are they shortening the sticks? That’s what some Tennessee friends seemed to think.

bc MFs are not wearing masks a simple direction ppl can't follow it's sad.

Florida hasn’t tested in 5 days !

Birx earned her reputation by dedicating her life to public health. She knows that when Trump advances COVID-lies—people die needlessly. So why did she ever chose to jettison her credibility in order to carry water for Trump? Why did she hitch her wagon to his dying star?

But he's going to play the French Open a couple 9f weeks later? 🤔

I’ll miss him, but he’s right.

I blame trump for ruining our way of life.

Cool, now I'll have time to watch that coat of paint dry.

Maine had only 5 new cases today. Please do not come visit us!!! We will be open for business next year!

So so sad and scary.....

Good for him. Orale Rafael! Cuidadte!

Smart man

Take HCQ.

Damn!

Puhleeze. A pro athlete is gonna let Covid set him back? Is he a man or a mouse? :)

Well, there are others should be worried too.

Let me see. I call bullshit

Not true.

“It is what it is” - President of the United States, Donald Trump, August, 2020

This lack of beds story was not true in NYC when it happened here and I doubt it is true in Florida

And this is what our governor refers to as better?

Uh, there are 186 hospitals in Florida. I suspect we’ll be ok

It's because we do more testing! If we tested less there would be less cases and less people in the hospitals. If we stopped testing we could free up those ICU beds. TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpVirus coronavirus

When do they enact their death panel?

Gotta love reopening early

And why isn't the Governor asking Trump for help?

Can realDonaldTrump send them that boat he sent to NY and wouldn't let sick people use?

Trump keeps saying Florida you’re doing better. What Florida is he looking at.

RonDeSantisFL everybody!

More fake news my nephew is a nurse in Florida and he said there hospital only 2 people in ICU for COVID-19🦠😷

Decisions Decisions...which patient? ICUs of at least 45 Florida hospitals have reached capacity and don't have any free beds, according to new data released by Florida's Agency for HealthCare Administration. covid19

marcorubio thoughts on this, cabrón?

So.... let's recap. President Trump makes these exact same announcements, and you call him a liar. Now here you are days later running it as Breaking News? You are corrupt, We the People are going to change this.

ABC IS THE VIRUS AND THE TEACHERS ARE A JOKE

Some facts.....

When will Florida start testing again?

Just really scared for these kids to have to go back to school. I hope we’re not making A big mistake.

It is a terrorist institute

Is this school or any islamic terror education center ?

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Tuesday that the world faces a 'generational catastrophe' because of school closures amid the coronavirus pandemic and said that getting students safely back to the classroom must be 'a top priority.' michellenichols As a parent this is what I’m most worried about right now. michellenichols Hold steady to contain this wretched virus. There should be no advancement or penalty. When school starts up again, all are on the same legal education footing. These months could be tested for learning once classes restart. The pressure on parents is enormous. michellenichols Thin I guess the WHO should have listened to Taiwan in December and followed their lead on how to deal with the virus. This didn’t need to every get this bad.
