Here are the articles of the week and a look at the future.
The virus in the United States has declined for the first time since the start of the pandemic, a sign that the nation’s reaction has stalled.
An average of 733,000 more people were reviewed one day this month, compared to July 750,000, according to the COVID Monitoring Project. By some estimates, several million more people may want to undergo both one and both days of disease control, adding many who don’t feel sick. Upstairs, check in Los Angeles.
“Obviously, we’re doing enough,” said a former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
The worrying trend may partly reflect the fact that there are fewer people for checks, as known instances have stabilized by more than 50,000 by day, as well as a basic problem: the country has not yet created a physically powerful formula for verifying giant portions of the population. Organize, not just the checkers.
Here’s the map and the number of cases.

2. There is a growing fear that a postal crisis could lead to countless votes in the U.S. presidential election.
Stories of slowdown and reduction are emerging across the country as Louis DeJoy, the Republican minister of labor and megader, makes monetary cuts that he says are aimed at reforming a company that is suffering losses of $1 billion.
But postal staff warned that adjustments can also deprive a record number of Americans who would vote by mail in November because of the coronavirus outbreak. The Postal Service has told states that it would possibly not meet some of its voting deadlines by mail.
On Saturday, President Trump accused Democrats of refusing to fund the postal service. House Democrats, who say DeJoy’s adjustments threaten the integrity of the general election, have begun to discuss the House returning early after its summer recess to fix the problems.
Meanwhile, Robert Trump, the youngest brother of the president who fled the spotlight, died at age 71. He’s been in poor physical condition since last month.
3. Discounted on campus, why pay for “Glorified Skype”?
So said by a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison when he started his fall semester remotely. With many in-person learnings suspended, students and their parents are not easy to get tuition discounts, increase and exit. Upstairs, an abandoned university in the northwest.
In other school news, a Korean exam released last month is being reassessed after researchers published more data. The study indicated that young people between the ages of 10 and 19 transmit coronavirus more than adults. But now we don’t know who infects whom.
4. The Democratic National Convention begins Monday night in Milwaukee with a combination of pre-recorded speeches.
On the list is Senator Kamala Harris, daughter of two immigrants, whom many Americans recognize as the face of the country’s demographic future. Since joining the price ticket last week, he has faced viral lies and racist stereotypes perpetuated through President Trump.
As a rival in the Democratic presidential primary, Harris challenged Joe Biden’s racial record, that is, his opposition to the bus in the 1970s. Now, as Biden’s vice-presidential candidate, the reaction has largely been a sigh of relief across the Democratic Party. But it is more commonly historical, and especially sweet for many black women.
Harris will speak Wednesday night and Biden is expected to officially settle for the nomination Thursday night.
5. Millions of Americans are still unemployed and Congress is suspended until early September, according to a new pandemic aid bill in sight.
States are struggling to figure out how to put President Trump’s plan for federal assistance to the unemployed in place, which requires states to pay a quarter of the cost. But the weekly supplement of $400 looks more like $300, and it’s unclear when cash will start flowing.
The governors of any of the primary parties were reluctant to be asked to spend billions of dollars when tax revenues fell due to economic collapse. Economists say long-term monetary damage to states may be greater than during the last recession.
6. A heat wave burns in the Southwest and has caused intermittent power outages in California. Thermometers break at 110 degrees Fahrenheit in some cities.
Californians used so much power to stay cool friday night that, for the first time in 19 years, the company that oversees much of the state’s power grid cut off the force for thousands of consumers for several hours to harmful overload. . Upstairs, Los Angeles yesterday.
The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for much of the West Coast. Suffocating heat occurs when coronavirus instances are increasing in California, creating a dilemma for those who cannot remain at home.
7. An agreement reached this week between Israel and the United Arab Emirates was made imaginable by a replacement in the region’s dynamics.
The Arab Spring uprisings and threats from a common enemy, Iran, have created new realities in the Middle East that have led two long-time enemies, Israel and the United Arab Emirates, to a closer alliance.
The agreement, in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu normalized relations with the United Arab Emirates. in exchange for the suspension of a promise to annex a component of the West Bank, a diplomatic coup for Israel. But for the Palestinians, it changed a nightmare because of the perhaps even darker prospect of not being counted at all.
8. Bhutanese immigrants in New York who drive to share the car begin to return to work. Archery, your country’s national pastime, brings you comfort.
Archery will be a way to exercise, socialize remotely and offer prayers for the quick return of the city. The organization of about two dozen members meets on weekends in a long box in New Jersey. They split into teams, say mantras to Buddha and then play for 12 hours.
Archery and New York traffic can be similar challenges. “Both are games where you have to stay focused,” said one member. “But the difference is that here, in this area, only the picture suffers. In the city, driving all day, it’s the spirit.
9. It’s time to open one.
Next time you have a beer, you might need to take a look at the rest of your bar. During a hot summer, beer may be your best blender: beer-based drinks tend to be low in alcohol, rich in flavor and simple and inexpensive.
Rebekah Peppler, a food collaborator who has written about the merits of Aperol’s iced drinks and spritz, recommends a Tequila Soleil (a bit like a Negroni with a spritz), above, or an edition of a Picon beer (served with amaro and orange liqueur). To keep it bubbly, do not load ice until the end.
10. And finally, our weekend readings.
Coco Gauff’s return to the tennis court, the beginning of the hit Hollywood device and the role of the black suffragettes above are among the great stories presented this week.
For more insights into what to read, see, and pay attention to, we recommend the 10 new books our publishers liked, a review of Watching’s latest small screen recommendations, and the latest playlist from our music critics.
