The novel coronavirus has now killed more than 768,000 people worldwide.

More than 21.3 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some national governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their outbreaks.

The United States is the worst-affected country in the world, with more than 5.3 million diagnosed cases and at least 169,423 deaths.

Dog-eat-dog, survival-of-the-fittest, social Darwinism, cutthroat competition!

Separating childhood into winners and losers! Some of them DEAD!

2. It just keeps getting worse and worse

3:52 a.m.: Rate of COVID cases in children 'steadily increasing'

The CDC has issued guidance to inform pediatric healthcare providers and said that while it is unclear whether children are as susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2 compared with adults and whether they can transmit the virus as effectively as adults, recent evidence suggests that children likely have the same or higher viral loads compared with adults and that children can spread the virus effectively in households and camp settings.

"The number and rate of cases in children in the United States have been steadily increasing from March to July 2020," the CDC's updated guidelines read. "The true incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is not known due to lack of widespread testing and the prioritization of testing for adults and those with severe illness. Hospitalization rates in children are significantly lower than hospitalization rates in adults with COVID-19, suggesting that children may have less severe illness from COVID-19 compared to adults."

3. If schools open, what could possible go wrong?
