US economy starts to boom as Japan falls into a recession
America ı By Catherine Davis

Health experts say the world could be months, if not years, away from having a vaccine available to everyone, and they have warned that easing restrictions too quickly could cause the virus to rebound.
President Donald Trump, by contrast, promised Americans a speedy return to normalcy that sounded far more optimistic than most experts say is realistic.
“We’re looking at vaccines, we’re looking at cures and we are very, very far down the line,” he said while calling into a charity golf tournament broadcast Sunday on NBC.
One of Trump’s top economic advisers, Peter Navarro, also criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s early response to the coronavirus outbreak, saying it “let the country down” after initial delays with testing.
With 36 million newly unemployed in the U.S. alone, economic pressures are building even as authorities acknowledge that reopening risks setting off new waves of infections and deaths. Many states have lifted stay-at-home orders and other restrictions, allowing some types of businesses to reopen.
The coronavirus has infected over 4.7 million people and killed more than 315,000 worldwide, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University that experts say under counts the true toll of the pandemic. The U.S. has reported over 89,000 dead and Europe has seen at least 160,000 deaths.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness and lead to death.
Paula Walborsky, a 74-year-old retired attorney in Tallahassee, Florida, has resisted the temptation to get her hair done and turned down dinner invitations from close friends. But when one of her city’s public swimming pools reopened by appointment, she decided to test the waters.
“I was so excited to be back in the water, and it just felt wonderful,” Walborsky said.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo got tested for the coronavirus on live television Sunday. Any New Yorkers experiencing flu-like symptoms or those returning to work can now get tested, he said.
“Well, how do you know what the spread of the virus is? Testing, testing, testing,” Cuomo said.
Still, states were pushing ahead with re-opening. The Florida Keys plan reopen to tourists on June 1, more than two months after the island chain closed to visitors. Hotels and other lodging establishments will only be allowed half-full and other sanitation requirements will have to be followed.
South Korea reported 15 new coronavirus cases and one more death, but just two new cases were reported in the Seoul metropolitan area, where tens of thousands were tested in recent weeks after health officials discovered dozens of infections linked to club goers.
The surge in infections in India comes a day after the federal government extended a nationwide lockdown to May 31 but eased some restrictions to restore economic activity, and as hundreds of thousands of migrant workers head to India’s villages, which have weaker health infrastructure.
Next door, in the Pakistan-administered portion of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, all relaxations in lockdown measures are to be revoked from Monday night after two dozen more people tested positive for coronavirus.
In Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro greeted hundreds of supporters — and joined some in performing pushups — who gathered before the presidential offices Sunday to back his open-the-economy drive even as the coronavirus sweeps across the country.
The fame Acropolis in Athens and other ancient Greek sites reopened on Monday, along with high schools, shopping malls and mainland travel in the latest round of easing restrictions imposed in late March. Authorities are keen to reopen the vital tourism sector, following a warning by the EU Commission that Greece is likely to suffer the worst recession in the bloc this year.
Belgium also relaxed more measures on Monday, with more students going to school, markets, zoos and museums reopening and barbers resuming work.
