Summary
The coronavirus is touching all levels of society and increasing tensions as governments start to ease restrictions that health experts warn should be done gradually to avoid a resurgence of the illness that has killed more than 165,000 people. After insisting the country’s virus testing system was without fault, President Donald Trump said Sunday evening he would be using the Defense Production Act to compel increased manufacturing of testing swabs. “Swabs are easy,” the president said, bringing one to his news briefing and waving it in front of reporters. A few countries are acting to ease restrictions and resume economic activity, but most of the world agrees the steps must be gradual.
