Covid-19 Pandemic
 Here’s the latest news: Gilead’s Remdesivir mainly helped healthier Covid-19 patients Did Japan beat the virus without lockdowns or mass testing? California defeats Church’s challenge to stay-at-home order Our take on the latest developments Summer is here — sort of. Memorial Day weekend is set to look unlike any other in recent memory. A holiday usually marked by parades and backyard parties will be altered by fear of spreading a virus that’s killed almost 100,000 Americans. The excitement that typically meets the transition of spring into summer has already been muted this year. Graduations have been cancelled and the usual end-of-the-school-year excitement has been replaced by a sense of relief to have merely survived the grand experiment of virtual learning. Now the country will move into what’s traditionally one of the most active and carefree parts of the year at a time when stress and uncertainty reign. Parts of the country are loosening months-old social-distancing guidelines and opening bars and restaurants. Even in New York, the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak, beaches will open for the holiday weekend with restrictions, including capping capacity at 50%.(However, beaches in New York City itself will be closed, a sore point for some nearby communities.) Still, millions of Americans are staying at home with the virus continuing to circulate, and as countless unknowns still weigh heavily: Is it safe to invite my neighbors over for a barbecue? What will my kids do all summer? When can I go back into the office? What will happen when I do start interacting with people again? Will there be a second wave? It appears Americans are growing more comfortable leaving their homes. Airlines are starting to see demand picking up. But not even AAA will estimate how many Americans will travel this year for Memorial Day, the first time in 20 years the organization will not make such a prediction. If one thing is certain, it’s that no one knows what will happen next. That’s not exactly the easy summer living we’ve come to enjoy.–Angelica LaVito Listen Up Latest Podcast: Social Distance Fatigue There’s a growing public health argument about how people should calculate risk when it comes to social distancing. We will be socializing a lot more–in many cases, without clear guidelines as to what’s really risky.
