U.S. death toll nears 60,000 as labs race for a vaccine

The U.S. coronavirus death toll is on course to hit 60,000 in the next 24 hours. COVID-19 has already claimed more American lives than the Vietnam War. But despite the mounting toll, more state and city leaders are gambling to ease restrictions aimed at curbing the virus' spread.

Scientists warn that dropping the measures too soon could bring new waves of COVID-19, which will only be defeated when an effective vaccine is developed and made widely available. Work on several experimental vaccines is racing forward at a pace never seen before, bringing hope that the world could have a real weapon against the new virus as soon as this fall.
