Coronavirus cases in U.S. surpass 1.38 million, deaths over 83,000 

There are now 1,388,936 confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States as of 6:32 p.m. local time on Wednesday, according to statistics released by Johns Hopkins University. At least 83,791 deaths have been reported so far.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump described as not acceptable a warning given by top U.S. infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci this week about the dangers of reopening the economy and schools too quickly.

"To me it's not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked about Fauci's warnings to senators on Tuesday about the risks of reopening the schools and economy too soon.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in an interview on Fox News the economy will be reopened slowly, adding that there is a risk of "too much damage" to economy if U.S. waits too long to reopen.
