Chinese authorities have lifted a monthslong lockdown on Wuhan, the city where the coronavirus pandemic began.
7:18 a.m.: US may investigate WHO's handling of pandemic, official says
During a press briefing Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed the WHO for getting"every aspect" of the novel coronavirus pandemic wrong and threatened to freeze American funding. "In the history of the United States and the World Health Organization, we have had times when we've done really in-depth analysis of what has happened. When the president said he was holding funds, he didn't say he was restricting and keeping funds permanently away, but instead said, let's investigate what happened," Birx said."I think that the president wants to complete an investigation of what happened during this current outbreak.
Birx said they hope to roll out an antibody test"within the next 10 or 14 days" that can detect how many Americans have already had the virus but were asymptomatic. 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.
