There are now over 3.8 million confirmed global cases of the virus. In the U.S., more than 25,000 new cases were reported in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to 1.26 million. The country has also recorded over 2,500 deaths in the past day alone, and globally, more than 260,000 people have lost their lives due to the pandemic.
New research suggests that the virus spreads more frequently indoors than outdoors. This pre-print study hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet, so it should be taken with caution, but it adds to a growing body of evidence supporting this idea. One study from China found that out of 318 outbreaks, only one occurred outdoors. As public health officials continue to emphasize, staying outside and maintaining physical distance is still one of the best ways to reduce transmission.
Sweden’s approach to the pandemic, which avoided strict lockdowns, has led to a higher death toll than expected. Officials admit the loss of life among the elderly was not part of the original plan. While the country's economy has fared better than many others, the human cost has been significant—half of all deaths in Sweden have occurred in nursing homes.
The White House has reversed its decision to disband the pandemic response team, with President Trump citing calls from “very respected people†who urged him to keep the task force active. Meanwhile, optimism around vaccine development has raised unrealistic expectations. Experts warn that a widely available vaccine could still take a year or more, and many people may be unprepared for a potential second wave later this year.
Meatpacking plants are expected to resume full operations within 10 days, but meat prices have risen by about 20% in recent weeks. At the same time, food insecurity is rising across the U.S., with nearly one in five children under 12 struggling to get enough to eat, according to a recent survey by the Hamilton Project.
The TSA has been holding onto large stockpiles of N95 masks despite a 95% drop in air travel. These masks have gone unused while hospitals desperately sought supplies. Additionally, government agencies have faced criticism for failing to secure reliable PPE orders, with some contracts resulting in no deliveries at all. The VA, in particular, has been left without adequate protection.
In Denver, police are investigating threats sent to local health officials, including messages warning of a “civil war†if lockdown measures aren’t lifted. Some individuals are pushing back against public health guidelines, creating an increasingly hostile environment for healthcare workers.
Finally, the ongoing fight against misinformation is taking a toll on medical professionals, who are struggling to combat false claims and conspiracy theories that spread rapidly online.
