Samuel Corum/Getty ImagesThe coronavirus pandemic is killing on average 1,000 Americans a day and 4,000 globally, and this should not be the new normal, Dr. Tom Inglesby, the director of the Bloomberg School’s Center for Health Security, said at a news briefing Thursday. “Are we resigned to losing 1,000 Americans a day, until we have a vaccine?” he asked. There isn’t information about whether children spread the disease at school. They clearly don't have the same level of severe illness as adults, he said.
