The U.S. set a single-day record of more than 85,000 new cases on Friday, less than two weeks before Election Day. Two vaccine trials resumed after pausing for safety concerns.
RIGHT NOW
Fauci suggests considering a national mask mandate as infections in U.S. spiral.
Here’s what you need to know:
- A resurgent virus attacks the heartland, just before the election.
- Europe also is bracing for a dark winter as the virus surges across the continent.
- UnitedHealth will ship 200,000 coronavirus and flu kits to stem a ‘twindemic.’
- A soaring number of Covid-19 cases brings back ragged memories of mid-July.
- After pausing for safety concerns, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson have resumed their U.S. vaccine trials.
- The C.D.C. offers tips for voting safely during a pandemic.
Personally I think we're screwed & heading for the Spanish Flu's 675,000 fatalities in 1918-1920. Back then everyone wore masks - by law. There are technical reasons why that pandemic ended but mask-wearing played a key role.
