flattening of the curve in the coming weeks. this morning worldwide more than 103,000 people have died from the coronavirus. there are 1.7 million confirmed cases. here in the u.s., the death toll has topped 18,000 with more than half a million cases. president trump says he's torn over reopening the economy. >> i'm going to have to make a decision, and i only hope to god that it's the right decision. but i would say without question, it's the biggest decision i've ever had to make. he wanted to start resuming business after his current stay-at-home order guidelines, which expire at the end of the month. he said he will also put together a task force next week to develop a plan. happening today, a team of 20 ucsf health care workers are heading to new york city. they're volunteering for one month, providing urgent health care support for covid-19 patients. they specialize in critical care, hospital and emergency medicine. the state of new york has more than 170,000 cases, with nearly 8,000 deaths. governor andrew cuomo says the number of people being
