RNC sends North Carolina governor list of proposed protocols for a 'safe and secure' GOP convention
The Republican National Committee sent a list of proposed coronavirus safety protocols to North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper on Thursday, urging him to “set the rules and requirements” for them to host a “safe and secure” 2020 GOP convention in the state as planned.
In a letter to Cooper, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and the president and CEO of the 2020 GOP convention, Marcia Lee Kelly, said the party’s goal is to still host the event in Charlotte, N.C., in August.
The World Health Organization is recommending healthy people, including those who may be infected with COVID-19 but don't exhibit symptoms, only wear masks when taking care of someone infected with the novel virus. The recommendation differs from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s, which urges individuals to wear a mask or face-covering in public settings, regardless of infection or not, to limit the spread of the virus.
U.S. consumer spending plunged by a record-shattering 13.6 percent in April as the coronavirus pandemic shuttered businesses, forced millions of layoffs and sent the economy into a deep recession. According to new Commerce Department figures, last month's spending decline was far worse than the revised 6.9 percent drop in March, which itself had set a record for the steepest one-month fall in records dating back to 1959.
One county in Northern California has backpedaled on its plans to reopen after discovering a number of coronavirus cases — the first there since the outbreak of the novel virus began in the Golden State. The change of plans comes as Dr. Sara Cody, the public health director of Santa Clara County who issued the country's first shelter-in-place order, expressed concern over a possible surge in coronavirus cases there and said the state may be reopening too quickly.
Government-run VA hospitals have “ratcheted down” prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for veterans with coronavirus. Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie spoke of the plummeting prescriptions at a House hearing on Thursday in the wake of studies linking the unproven drug to an increased risk of death and heart arrhythmia.
And New Zealand reported Friday that just one person out of its population of 5 million is known to still have COVID-19 after no new cases were detected in the past week.
