The Covid test positivity rate in the US is 9.5%. That's nearly double the rate the WHO says should lead regions to consider not lifting containment measures and not reopening schools and some businesses. I'm scared to think how much worse this could get over the next 73 days.

Public health experts are worried that the mass protests in the U.S. could lead to a surge of new coronavirus cases. Police using tear gas and pepper spray causes people to tear up and cough, which could increase the risk of transmission.
