"Summary:

Singapore reports another alarming jump in new cases

Tokyo reports ~150 new cases, asks companies to extend "Golden Week" holiday

Sydney forced to shutter three newly reopened beaches

China rejects US request to examine Wuhan lab

India reports record single-day jump in cases

Matt Hancock says 'no set date' for BoJo to return

Chinese tests using blood of recovered patients show promising results

Some Muslim majority countries ease restrictions as Ramadan begins

Indonesia also reports jump in cases

Russia reports 5k+ new cases in a day; RenCap projects 'peak' next week

As of 6amET Friday morning, the number of deaths linked to the coronavirus in the US stood at 49,963. You probably don't need to be an 'epidemiological expert' to suspect that the death toll will surpass 50k on Friday - probably before lunchtime, since Gov Cuomo typically releases the latest NY state-wide death count at around 11amET.

But before we get into the big US-focused stories of the day, we believe it's worth noting some new developments in Asia overnight suggesting that despite Singapore's strict new lockdown - and in Japan, despite PM Shinzo Abe's decision to expand a 'state of emergency' countrywide - both countries, big and small, have continued to struggle."
