Researchers at the New York State Department of Health have developed a new test which determines if an individual has been infected with--and recovered from--the COVID-19 illness, according to Gov Andrew Cuomo (D).

While he has been focused on the public health aspects of the novel coronavirus outbreak, New York Gov Andrew Cuomo (D) says that he is very well aware of the economic fallout from the pandemic.

Although he didn't want to make any hard-and-fast promises, the leading US immunologist Dr Anthony Fauci said Tuesday that he believes schools will be able to resume in the United States in the fall.

Hollywood actor and Democratic activist Alyssa Milano said that she wants "more evidence" to determine if a sexual misconduct charge against Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden is "credible."

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said that he understands the economic toll that lockdowns and social distancing are taking, but even if the rate of infection in the state is starting to drop, it's too early for residents to let their guard down.

Life will probably never get back to exactly how it was before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, society will "gradually" find its way to a new normal, according to Dr Anthony Fauci, the leading American immunologist who heads up the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

A prominent conservative commentator on television has voiced her concerns that Donald Trump will use the coronavirus pandemic as a means for an authoritarian power grab.

Maintaining an adequate supply of ventilators to match the demand of the stream of hospitalized COVID-19 patients filling New York state beds has been a singular challenge during the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, and the federal government has been an unreliable partner in helping meet demand, according to New York Gov Andrew Cuomo.

The $500 billion contained in the $2 trillion economic stimulus package Congress recently approved which is to be managed by the Treasury Department will require effective oversight, according to a former Democratic congresswoman.

Donald Trump continues to push a treatment for COVID-19 on the American people which even Trump's own top immunologist has put the brakes on. In fact, Trump has taken to advocating for the use of the anti-malarial hydroxychloroquine while preventing Dr Anthony Fauci to speak about it from the briefing room apparently for fear of being contradicted.
