| Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: A potential ban on Euro travel, Israel's Gantz gets his first shot, and how coronavirus could erase progress on single-use plastics.  Social distancing is not enough Both the head of the WHO and a group of Wuhan doctors on Monday put forth the same simple advice to all countries scrambling to control the coronavirus outbreak: test more. While social distancing may help, said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Geneva, testing potential patients must be "the backbone of the response." Earlier, four doctors who've spent weeks treating patients in the Chinese city where the virus was first detected said the same. Without the test, said Du Bin, an ICU director of one of China's top hospitals, "you never know who is the carrier, who is the patient, and who should be quarantined." In the U.S., where the Trump administration has been widely criticized for a scarcity of available test kits, the FDA moved to cut red tape by letting labs certify their own test results without awaiting CDC approval, allowing for up to 26,000 people to be tested per day. More: - The U.S. has completed about 44,800 coronavirus tests, estimates say. The CEO of Roche, which won emergency approval for its high-speed test, recommended testing for anyone with symptoms.
- The number of Covid-19 deaths and infections in other countries surpassed those inside China for the first time on Monday. The vast majority of infected patients recover in about two to six weeks.
$ignificant figures 10. Trump said Americans should avoid public gatherings of more than that many people and children should be schooled at home, warning that the U.S. may be fighting the outbreak until August. 30. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen proposed a temporary ban on non-essential travel to Europe for at least that many days, which could be prolonged "as necessary," she said. 19. A Japanese man was sentenced to death for killing that many people and injuring two dozen others, aged 18 to 70, at a facility for disabled people in the country's deadliest mass attack since WWII. Highly quotable "Avoid pubs, clubs and theaters." Boris Johnson urged U.K. residents to refrain from unnecessary contact and advised 12 weeks of isolation for people over 70 following lockdown efforts in France, Germany and Spain. "I will, in fact, pick a woman to be vice president." Joe Biden vowed to choose a female running mate if he becomes the Democratic nominee, while Bernie Sanders said he would "in all likelihood." "Within a few days." Opposition leader Benny Gantz pledged to break Israel's political deadlock and form a "national unity government, as broad as possible" after a majority of parliament endorsed the Netanyahu rival. This is not normal Turning back. The global spread of coronavirus is threatening to undo the early progress made against single-use plastics as companies abandon eco-conscious policies in favor of disposable, hygienic packaging.  The future is now Tiny innovation. Researchers developed a micro 3D-printing method that shoots lasers through a clear gel to build small objects in seconds, a process that could be used in fields from architecture to dentistry.  What's good Glimmer of hope. The first human trial for a Covid-19 vaccine began in Seattle on 45 volunteers after scientists developed the shot in record time, carrying out the first phase of the process that could last up to 18 months.
