Coronavirus updates: Health experts call for country to shut down again; Fauci says he has security after getting threats

It's time to hit the reset button: Shut it down and restart. That's what more than 150 health professionals are urging government leaders in an open letter published earlier this week.

Public health leaders argue in the letter that the U.S. reopened too quickly, nonessential businesses should close again, Americans should mostly stay home, and government officials need to invest more in testing, contact tracing, and personal protective equipment capacities.

"If you don’t take these actions, the consequences will be measured in widespread suffering and death," according to the letter addressed to President Donald Trump, federal officials and governors.

Here are some significant developments today:

Republicans promised another round of $1,200 bonus checks and money for schools Thursday, while Democrats dug in to protect the $600 weekly unemployment benefit bonus.

The CDC unveiled new guidelines Thursday for schools planning to reopen this fall as well as for for people who have mild to moderate COVID-19. They now need to isolate for only 10 days after their symptoms begin.

After slowly dropping for over four months, the number of Americans filing new unemployment claims pushed higher last week with 1.4 million new claims.

?? Today's stats: The U.S. has surpassed 4 million confirmed cases and has more than 144,000 deaths, according to John Hopkins University data. Worldwide cases have surpassed 15 million with more than 633,000 deaths.

?? What we're reading: When will a vaccine be available to the general public? To understand when pre-COVID-19 life in the U.S. can resume, USA TODAY created a panel of experts who estimate we're almost halfway to an available vaccine. USA TODAY
