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.
