Here are the articles of the week and a look to the future.
1. The amount of coronavirus in the United States continues to skyrocket.
Eighteen states set unmarried day case records last week, pressuring the country to break the national record for new instances on a singles day set less than two weeks ago. More than 73,500 were reported on Friday and more than 66,300 cases of coronavirus on Saturday. The record is 75,697. Here is the last map and the number of instances.
With more than four million known infections and nearly 1 in 6,300 deaths, hospitalizations also continue to increase.
Is it imaginable to stabilize infections without going through a complete blockage? Arizona, which has experienced an alarming rate of expansion this summer, is presented as a real-time experience.
Did you stay in the headlines? Test your wisdom with our new quiz. And here’s the cover of our Sunday newspaper, the Sunday Review from Opinion and our crossword puzzles.
2. The Amazon River, an essential source of life in South America, is causing the virus in the region. We spent weeks in the river documenting the toll.
Brazil has the highest number of deaths at the moment in the world, only the United States. The six villages that are exposed to the coronavirus are located on the Amazon River, according to the researchers. Almaximum everyone depends on the river and the boats that run along it, for transportation, food, medicine. Investigators say they are guilty of the spread of the virus.
The region’s ability to deal with the pandemic has been weakened by President Jair Bolsonaro, who has publicly mocked it, even if he himself tested positive.
The United States still has the world’s largest epidemic, while much of Europe and Asia have flattened the curve. This chart shows how the United States compares to other hotspots.
3. We are following Hurricane Hanna when it strikes South Texas, a suffering involving the pandemic.
The Category 1 typhoon, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, brought strong winds and rain to Corpus Christi, up and around. Winds can reach up to 110 m.p.h., the National Weather Service warned. A typhoon rise warning has been successful in the north, about 75 miles south of Houston. Hanna’s eye made landfall on Padre Island, about 60 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border with 90 m.p.h. winds.
Nueces County, which includes Corpus Christi, has recorded only about 2,000 new instances of viruses and 47 deaths in the last seven days alone. The peak increased in component through visitors who flocked to the beach in the city due to its low number of cases.
4. Federal agents venture into blocks of the buildings to which they were sent in Portland. Oregon authorities say they are illegally taking on the role of the insurrection police.
“I think it’s probably inappropriate,” Oregon attorney general Ellen Rosenblum said. “This is surely beyond his authority.”
What began as a motion of racial justice in the wake of the murder of George Floyd has become a broader crusade to evict federal forces, who arrived this month to help the protests. Apparently there to protect federal property, officials made dozens of federally crime arrests.
Every night, for about 60 consecutive days, a “mother wall” was formed; they now unite through a “veterans wall” that has combined to protect the freedom of expression of protesters.
5. Nearly 100 days from Election Day, the fight over free and fair elections — and faith in the outcome — has become a cornerstone of the race.
President Trump has stated, without evidence, that mail voting leads to fraud and casts preemptive doubt about the credibility of the final results, while Joe Biden warned that he opposes foreign interference and warned that his opponent seeks to hold the election.
And then there are the dangers of voting in an election year that is in the hands of a pandemic. Take Georgia, for example, where, as one researcher said, a “complete collapse” occurred in the state primaries in June. Voters waited hours to finish the defective equipment.
A review through the Times revealed that Georgia’s most sensible election official, the Secretary of State, remained passive despite repeated warnings about the deployment of an incredibly complex voting system. Questions have also arisen about the accuracy of vote counting. Above, Atlanta’s State Farm Arena is an early voting site for the August primary circular moment and for the general election.
6. Sports are coming back.
The M.L.B. and W.N.B.A. He returned to play this week after a break due to the pandemic.
Breanna Stewart and Seattle Storm won the first game of the season, Sabrina Ionescu, above, and the New York Liberty. The season is engaged to Breonna Taylor, who was killed in a police shootout.
There may be cardboard clippings on the seats rather than the fans, but the return of baseball “much more than anything,” our columnist writes. He’s not alone: the opening day, the most seen in the normal season game since 2011.
The N.B.A. and N.H.L. resume its seasons next weekend. Our basketball reporter says LeBron James is more dominant than ever.
7. Regis Philbin, who has celebrated the United States by drinking coffee for decades and brought the success “Who Wants to Become a Millionaire,” has died. 88.
Universally known as Regis, Mr. Philbin achieved a pre-eminence overcome in life on communication screens and television games, with patience, determination and a popular and spontaneous spirit. He co-hosted with Kathie Lee Gifford and Kelly Ripa in the morning for decades, and in the evening made “Millionaire” the highest-rated game exhibition in television history.
In a 2011 interview, Philbin said he had long felt some lack of confidence about his ability. But then, despite everything, he understood it: “Spontaneous conversation,” he says. “Spontaneity is everything to me, running without a net.”
8. Another to hang clothes.
Chang Wan-ji, 83, and Hso Sho-er, 84, have quarantined Instagram stars. The Taiwanese couple pose in a well-known position, their laundry, and funky models are arranged from the guests’ forgotten garments. They’re herbal in front of the camera.
“I didn’t know so many strangers would be interested in my grandparents,” said his 31-year-old grandson and unofficial stylist, who came here with the Instagram account.
Chang said he hoped to revel and that his wife would motivate other seniors to be active. “It’s better than sitting and watching TV or taking a nap,” Chang said.
9. Take out the towels for this.
The ultimate proof of a grill master’s courage is ribs, and they are strangely easy to prepare at home. It takes time and effort, but Steven Raichlen of “The Barbecue Bible” presented six simple steps and a recipe to get that fried fish flavor.
And it’s officially corn season. You can upload it to just about anything. Here are some ideas.
Not drinks: Beyond champagne, the perfect champagne comes in a variety of styles from around the world. Our wine columnist has set out to locate 12 sparkling wines that offer their own personality and do not want special occasions.
10. And finally, our weekend readings.
A review of the workshops of Panama’s global hat makers, above, global sales of cakes to combat injustice and the near-historical year of surfing are among this week’s wonderful stories.
For more insights on what to read, watch, and pay attention to, we recommend those 10 new books our publishers liked, a review of the latest small-screen Watching recommendations, and the latest playlist from our music critics.
