- Donald Trump on Wednesday said coronavirus has been worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
"This is really the worst attack we've ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor. This is worse than the World Trade Center. There's never been an attack like this."
Trump blamed China, where COVID-19 originated, for the virus reports Business Insider.
Trump spent weeks downplaying the threat of the novel coronavirus in the early days of the outbreak.
Trump and his cabinet told Americans everything was "under control" and the virus would "disappear".
He simultaneously ignored a slew of urgent warnings from medical experts and officials.
This resulted in at least tens of thousands and left 30 million unemployed over the last 2 months.

- Will taking extra vitamins or supplement help you ward off coronavirus?
According to the Huff Post, health experts says there’s scant evidence that supports taking supplements to prevent COVID-19.
A review of vitamin D showed that there is no link between a deficiency and likelihood of contracting COVID.
Supplementing didn’t seem to treat or prevent it either, and doctors say that taking over a suggested regular dose of vitamins could be dangerous.
Michael Roizen, chief wellness officer for Cleveland Clinic explained, "Don’t take a multivitamin and a bunch of other things, like vitamin water or extra B vitamins."
Most of the experts interviewed suggest focusing on eating balanced, healthy meals to strength your immune system.

A study by University College London’s (UCL) Genetics Institute found nearly 200 recurrent genetic mutations of the new coronavirus - SARS-CoV-2, which shows how the virus may be evolving as it spreads.
Francois Balloux, a UCL professor who co-led the research said that all viruses mutate and there's no proof whether or not COVID-19 is getting more or less contagious.
He explains, “All viruses naturally mutate. Mutations in themselves are not a bad thing and there is nothing to suggest SARS-CoV-2 is mutating faster or slower than expected.”
Studies also show that the virus was already being quickly transmitted, extensively around the world from late 2019, when COVID-19 jumped from a previous animal host into people.

According to UPI, they're concerned about the southeastern United States -- Georgia and Tennessee, in particular.
Death rates are likely to be high due to lack of access to hospitals, combined with the relaxation of lockdown requirements.
Also, these regions have a high rate of poverty and chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes among the residents.

- Description
- National security and global health experts are growing increasingly concerned.
The cause of the concern is that China could be the first to develop a vaccine for COVID-19.
Trump has been adopting an increasingly hardline stance toward Beijing says Busines Insider.
The US could be at a major disadvantage if China comes up with a vaccine first and decides to limit access.
However, many other countries fear the US will be the first to find a vaccine and will charge a fortune for it.
Some experts see the COVID vaccine development between the US and China are a 'race to the moon.'
Being the first to develop COVID treatments and vaccines could be a point of national pride.

- Scientists say the UK's current social distancing measures may need to be in place for quite some time.
Specifically, for as long as it takes to find a coronavirus vaccine.
Two new studies say there's a risk of pushing the rate of transmission too high if social interaction isn't severely limited for the foreseeable future.
The first, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said social contact would have to be limited to around 5 to 10 people.
Business Insider reports the second study came from the University of Dundee.
It found a 90% reduction in social contact compared to usual would be needed to prevent a second wave of COVID-19 infections.
