As of Wednesday evening, approximately 8,281 people across the U.S. have tested positive for coronavirus.

At least 147 people have died, according to a New York Times database while people across the country who have been exhibiting symptoms say that they are being denied tests.

As this outbreak unfolds rapidly, President Trump was asked on Wednesday at a White House briefing why athletes with no symptoms were able to test for the virus while working-class Americans are being encouraged not to get tested.
