US President Donald Trump vowed to unveil plans to reopen the world's top economy, following cautious moves in Europe, claiming the US had"passed the peak" of the coronavirus crisis despite a record daily death toll.
In Europe's top economy Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel urged"extreme caution" as she announced initial steps to reopen some shops and gradually restart school. However, Britain was expected to extend its lockdown measures later Thursday and Belgium pushed its stay-at-home order back to May 3.Even in countries trying to return to a semblance of normality, many citizens voiced fears the virus was not yet beaten.
"There are seven billion people on the planet," said Mark Suzman."We are going to need to vaccinate nearly every one. There is no manufacturing capacity to do that." But even in the US, the pandemic has caused at least 17 million people to lose their jobs and many are becoming increasingly desperate.
