1/ States are reopening, but the pandemic continues.

Choices that were once simple now require calculated thought and planning.

Let our staff writer @jameshamblin, a medical doctor, help you make informed choices. 👇#PagingDrHamblin
2/ If you have to return to the office or stay in a hotel while traveling, should you worry about air conditioning transmitting the virus?

“There’s currently no clear evidence … But the presumption is that it could.” theatlantic.com/health/archive…
3/ Some local authorities are allowing large weddings again. Is it okay to attend?

“Just because local officials haven’t forbidden something doesn’t make it safe. Legal can’t be mistaken for wise,” Hamblin says. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
4/ Is it safe to fly right now?

Outbreaks of the coronavirus on airplanes are unlikely as long as everyone keeps a few things in mind, Hamblin reports. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
5/ What about singing?

“In the context of so much being shut down, the question … may sound trivial. But it’s not at all,” Hamblin writes.

“Thousands of lives may hang on how it is done.” theatlantic.com/health/archive…
6/ As parents consider virtual versus in-person learning this fall, they shouldn’t discount the effects of the virus on children.

Hamblin explains why it’s a safe assumption that COVID-19 “is affecting more children than we currently realize”: theatlantic.com/health/archive…
7/ Elderberry. Vitamin tonics. The internet is full of ads for dietary supplements that imply they’ll protect us from COVID-19.

One standout that’s steadily gained actual scientific traction: vitamin D. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

1/ There is no mystery in the number of Americans dying from COVID-19—and why. Those who don’t want COVID-19 to be the terrible crisis that it is have clung to the idea that more cases won’t mean more deaths. But that’s not true, @alexismadrigal reports. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
2/ Deaths are rising again: The seven-day average for deaths per day has now jumped by more than 200 since July 6, according to our COVID Tracking Project, which compiles the latest numbers on tests, cases, hospitalizations, and patient outcomes in the U.S.theatlantic.com/health/archive…
3/ America’s deadly summer coronavirus surge is undeniable, @alexismadrigal writes. And it was predictable this whole time by looking honestly at the data. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

1/ “Coping with a pandemic is one of the most complex challenges a society can face,” @JamesFallows writes. “It is a challenge that the United States did not meet.”

What went wrong? To answer that question, Fallows turned to his background in aviation. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2/ @JamesFallows compiled an aviation-style accident report on the disaster of America's pandemic response: “This was a journey straight into a mountainside, with countless missed opportunities to turn away.” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
3/ First, @JamesFallows considered the flight plan. “Did the warning system work this time, providing advance notice of the coronavirus outbreak? According to everyone I spoke with, it certainly did.”

In other words, we were warned. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Carly Fiorina, the former GOP presidential candidate who would have been Ted Cruz's running mate just a few years ago, says she'll vote for Joe Biden in November. @IsaacDovere reports: on.theatln.tc/UqSFFe6
2/ Four years ago, Fiorina voted for Trump—even after he’d mocked her by saying, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” She won’t do that again. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
3/ “I’ve been very clear that I can’t support Donald Trump,” she told @IsaacDovere, arguing that Republicans who say Donald Trump should lose in November but insist they won’t vote for Joe Biden aren’t being honest.
