Chinese officials say they underestimated the number of people who died from COVID-19 in Wuhan by 50%. The country added 1,290 dead to its readjusted total for Wuhan, with a death toll that now stands at 3,869 in the city.
"We should be able to administer a test to anyone who has symptoms. Ideally to people that are around people with symptoms, and in the best case scenario just doing them broadly so we really get a handle on where COVID-19 is and where the threats are," Whitmer told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos on"Good Morning America."
Amanda Zacek, a certified medical assistant from Swartz Creek, peeks out from the tent, April 15, 2020, at Atwood Stadium in Flint, Mich."In Michigan we've had to be really aggressive. We've got the third-highest death rate in the country right now," Whitmer said."We have a unique crisis ... we need unique solutions."
Whitmer responded on"GMA" that the coalition"doesn't mean that each of us is going to take the exact same steps.""I do hope to have some relaxing come May 1, but it's two weeks away, and that information and the data and our ability to test is changing so rapidly," she said."It's hard to tell you precisely where we'll be in a week from now much less two.
