#1 Denmark says spread has not accelerated since reopening began

We still don't have good numbers for asymptomatic incubation period.

Whistleblower claims British hospitals are still deliberately sending elderly patients to care homes 'to die' by discharging them before Covid-19 test results come through - as part of NHS 'soul destroying' culture of freeing up beds

That's why they don't publish "Outcome of Cases (Recovery or Death)".

Javits Center field hospital set to close after treating just 1,000 coronavirus patients - but FEMA will keep a stockpile of supplies and equipment at the site to prepare for a second wave

So (Trump directed) FEMA are not being morons.

#4 The good news/bad news/both in one headline in the above roundup is amazing. Many sides of the story, all in one place! Too many people, IMO, only see one side (confirmation bias). Mrs. Bobby's newspaper is decidedly heavy on the 'Chinese Death Plague' side of the story.

WHO's Exec. Director of Emergencies Mike Ryan: Sweden is a model for the new coronavirus normal

"The World Health Organisation lavished praise on Sweden as “a future model” in the next phase of fighting the outbreak because it has trusted people to observe social distancing rules.

Dr Mike Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO emergencies team, said it was wrong to believe that Sweden had “just let the infection spread”, adding: “Nothing can be further from the truth. Sweden has set a very strong policy on public health, it is about physical distancing and how to protect the elderly in various nursing homes and much more.”

“I think if we are to reach a new normal, I think in many ways Sweden represents a future model of -- if we wish to get back to a society in which we don’t have lockdowns," Dr. Ryan said while speaking to reporters from Geneva.
