Our investigation shows how the coronavirus has shaken the CDC as it confronted the most urgent public health emergency in its 74-year history — a pathogen that has penetrated much of the U.S. and killed more than 100,000 Americans. nyti.ms/36V0dg7
The CDC, considered the world’s leading public health agency, struggled to move quickly against the virus. Early testing mistakes, lack of clear guidance at times, aging data systems and clashes with the White House hurt its response from the start.

Our investigation of the CDC’s response to the virus included:
—Reviews of thousands of emails
—Interviews with more than 100 state and federal officials

For many black people in Minneapolis, seeing police use force like the kind that killed George Floyd is disturbingly common.

Our analysis of the city's own figures shows why: City police use force against black people at 7 times the rate as white people. nyti.ms/3dtccUs
Use of force includes kicks, neck holds, punches, shoves, takedowns, Mace, Tasers and other tactics.

Since 2015, Minneapolis police have documented using force about 11,500 times. For at least 6,650 of those acts — nearly 60% — the subject was black. nyti.ms/3dtccUs
Those thousands of instances of police use of force disproportionately affect black people in Minneapolis, who make up less than 20% of the population. nyti.ms/3dtccUs

The world lost more than 9 million acres of tropical forest in 2019. It was the third-largest total loss of old-growth since 2002. Only 2016 and 2017 were worse, when heat and drought led to record fires and deforestation, especially in Brazil. nyti.ms/36VPmmb
Brazil, where deforestation of the Amazon through clear-cutting appears to be on the rise under the pro-development policies of President Jair Bolsonaro, was responsible for more than a third of the total global loss in 2019 nyti.ms/36VPmmb
Fires in Bolivia were a major cause of what was a significant increase in deforestation last year. The country’s primary forest loss of 720,000 acres was nearly double the total from 2018. The country now ranks 4th in deforestation globally. nyti.ms/36VPmmb

In the week since George Floyd’s death, U.S. cities have been gripped by dissent. We asked protesters from across the country what inspired them to take to the streets. nyti.ms/371o4uv
A Minneapolis native, Don Hubbard said 90% of his interactions with the police were negative, even though he has been a local government employee for years. He feels like the police define him by the color of his skin, and worries about his children. nyti.ms/3eHbzH6
Rashaad Dinkins was 12 when unrest broke out in Ferguson. He remembers watching the news, knowing that black people were being killed.

When George Floyd was killed just a few blocks from where Dinkins lives in Minneapolis, he knew he had to be a part of the moment.
