It's Monday, and this is Coronavirus Watch from the Paste BN Network. Here's the news to know today, as of 1:30 p.m. ET.

• The pandemic may have claimed many more lives than what the COVID-19 death toll depicts. On top of the recorded COVID-19 death toll, researchers found nearly 75,000 more people may have died of pandemic-related causes from March to July, according to a report published Monday in JAMA.
• President Trump, who over the weekend claimed he no longer has coronavirus but did not present any negative tests, is set to hit the campaign trail again, starting with a Monday rally in Florida.
• An investigation revealed coronavirus outbreaks in Illinois that previously were not made public.
• The NFL has been scrambling to deal with a slew of positive COVID-19 cases among players and staff. Eight teams had their schedules altered to account for the infections.

Numbers check: More than 7.7 million people in the U.S. have tested positive for COVID-19 and 214,000 have died of it, per Johns Hopkins data. Globally, 37 million have tested positive and 1 million have died.
