Nations around the world are setting new records for COVID-19 deaths and new confirmed cases, including places that had kept the coronavirus in check.
It’s been over a year since a choir practice in Washington state sickened 53 people and killed two, becoming one of the first known COVID-19 superspreader events in the United States.
From that situation emerged one of the most pivotal transmission episodes in understanding the virus.
Elsewhere in the U.S., experts testified that a lack of oxygen killed George Floyd, not drugs.
Also this morning:
- Communities of Catholic nuns are absorbing devastating losses from coronavirus outbreaks
- Violence flares again in Northern Ireland
- Monkeys enjoy day of freedom after breaking out of German zoo
