The US could become the new centre of the global coronavirus pandemic, according to the World Health Organisation, which said case numbers were rising quickly there even as US president Donald Trump talked of reopening the country for business, the Guardian reports. "We are now seeing a very large acceleration in cases in the US. So it does have that potential," said Margaret Harris, a WHO spokeswoman.
