WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. governors are starting to map out plans for reopening their economies as world leaders battling the coronavirus pin hopes on tests, technology and a coordinated approach to ease restrictions on movement that have slowed the outbreak but strangled the global marketplace. States from coast to coast are coordinating in regional coalitions, as President Donald Trump appears to back off his claim of absolute authority on when and how to loosen restrictions across the country. The International Monetary Fund predicts the world economy will suffer its worst year since the Great Depression in the 1930s and shrink by an estimated 3% this year.

NEW YORK (AP) — The official death toll from the coronavirus soared in New York City after authorities began including people who died without ever being tested. City officials reported 3,778 “probable” deaths, where doctors were certain enough of the cause of death to list it on the death certificate. Combined with virus deaths confirmed by a lab test, that would put the total fatalities in the city over 10,000. The change in the city’s accounting of fatalities came after officials acknowledged that statistics based only on laboratory-confirmed tests were failing to account for many people dying at home before they ever reached a hospital.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has issued a stark warning for Americans to “ignore the lies” and “insist on the truth” as the U.S. assesses next steps in the coronavirus crisis. Pelosi released a letter with a scathing outline of President Donald Trump's handling of the outbreak as Trump spoke during a Tuesday briefing and signaled his eagerness to re-open the economy. In the letter to House Democrats, Pelosi says, ”If we are not working from the truth, more lives will be lost, economic hardship and suffering will be extended.” Congress isn't expected to reconvene until at least May 4 to protect lawmakers from the virus.

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala's health minister says that deportees from the United States were helping drive up the country's COVID-19 caseload, adding that on one flight some 75% of the deportees tested positive for the virus. Later, presidential spokesman Carlos Sandoval told reporters that Monroy was referring to a March flight on which “between 50% and 75% (of the passengers) during all their time in isolation and quarantine have been come back positive.” Monroy's comments Sunday were dramatically out of line with what the government had previously said about infected deportees. Before Tuesday, Guatemala had only reported three positive infections among deportees flown back by the United States.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he’s enlisting advisers from nearly all sectors of American commerce, the medical field and elected office to help shape his plans to reopen the coronavirus-battered economy. Trump said Tuesday that he'll consult with the advisers by phone. The White House calls the advisers members of the Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups. They include more than 50 executives and leaders from agricultural, defense and financial service industries, as well as leaders from unions, professional sports, think tanks and more. Trump signaled that he is ready to push for big swaths of the country to get back to business soon.
