"As the US, Europe, and East Asia begin to reopen, the virus appears to be picking up steam in other parts of the world. Russia and Brazil became the countries with the second- and third-highest number of reported cases. In Russia, which has reported just 2,837 deaths from more than 300,000 cases, officials have been accused of misreporting deaths to keep figures low.
Separately, a new study found daily average carbon emissions worldwide have dropped by 17% amid the pandemic. The drop, likely the biggest on record, has led to emissions equal to those last observed in 2006.
Finally, an antibody study performed in Los Angeles County in mid-April estimates between 2.5% and 7% of adults have contracted the virus at some point. The figures imply there were 40 unidentified cases for every confirmed case (at the time of the study), while also suggesting the population is far away from achieving herd immunity, which would require around 60% of people having developed immunity to the virus.
The US has reported 1.53 million cases, with 91,938 deaths, as of this morning. Deaths rose 1.5% since yesterday morning; see the three-day moving average here."
