Coronavirus Cases Reach 1.5 Million Globally
Over 2 million people worldwide have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University , and more than 137,000 people have died. The number of tests does not refer to the same in each country - one difference is that some countries report the number of people tested, while others report the number of tests (which can be higher if the same person is tested more than once). And other countries report their testing data in a way that leaves it unclear what the test count refers to exactly.
After the rapper's release in early April , due to the COVID-19 outbreak, he slowly made a return on social media, dropping off cryptic messages, inching him to today's historic event. A part of those messages included a post stating , Im going live friday 3:00PM EST," with the caption, Lets get this party started. Don't get scared now." Two days after, he announced the release of his comeback single, GOOBA," and accompanied it with a video, just before going his live was set to begin.
Confirmed cases and deaths are counts of individuals whose coronavirus infections were confirmed by a laboratory test. Probable cases and deaths count individuals who did not have a confirmed test but were evaluated using criteria developed by national and local governments. Some governments are reporting only confirmed cases, while others are reporting both confirmed and probable numbers. And there is also another set of governments that are reporting the two types of numbers combined without providing a way to separate the confirmed from the probable. The Times is now using the total of confirmed and probable counts when they are available individually or combined. Otherwise only the confirmed count will be shown.
