A senior White House economy advisor says that the unemployment rate "should start to trend down" after June. New coronavirus cases are trending up in 17 states, down in 20 and steady in 13, as former FDA chief says United States is seeing a rise in hospitalizations.

CDC is now saying that coronavirus antibody tests might be wrong half of the time. Merck enters the race for a coronavirus vaccine and treatment, as ten companies worldwide are starting human trails for a coronavirus vaccine.
