New competition has emerged over who in the U.S. gets priority access to the nation’s limited supplies of coronavirus vaccines. Confusing rules have turned it into a free-for-all among people who may be among the most vulnerable to Covid-19.
nyti.ms/3qyMeES
At least 37 states and Washington, D.C., now allow some residents with certain health problems to get vaccines, according to a New York Times survey. But the health issues granted priority differ from state to state, and even county to county.
nytimes.com/2021/03/09/us/…
Vaccine eligibility is a moving target, and states set rules without solid evidence of who is most vulnerable. California offered shots based on age, but will soon offer vaccines to those with medical conditions after pressure by disability rights groups. nyti.ms/3vaX9In
Elsewhere, Americans who may be among the most vulnerable to the virus are trying to persuade health and political officials to add more health conditions to an ever-evolving vaccine priority list. Read more. nyti.ms/3vaX9In

Governments and automakers around the world are focused on selling newer, cleaner electric vehicles as a key solution to climate change.

But it could take years, if not decades, before it has a drastic effect on greenhouse gas emissions.

Here’s why. nyti.ms/3l5hMRw
There are 250 million cars, SUVs, vans and pickup trucks on America’s roads today. The vast majority run on gasoline. Fewer than 1% are electric. nyti.ms/3l5hMRw Image
Electric vehicles could make up a quarter of new sales by 2035, analysts project.

But at that point, only 13% of vehicles on the road would be electric because conventional cars and trucks are becoming more reliable and lasting longer on the road. nyti.ms/3l5hMRw Image

One year ago, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic.

These stories offer a look at one year of loss and disruption, and what comes next. nyti.ms/2N7YUEX
On March 12, 2020, Broadway shut down, and with it every large gathering in New York City.

Do you remember your final nights out? We gathered scenes from around the city as the curtains closed. nyti.ms/3bI7owh Image
It took just three days last March for nearly every sport to shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic. We spoke to athletes, executives and promoters about what they remember from when the games stopped. nyti.ms/3qBQ3cw Image

We returned to Fukushima, Japan, 10 years after it was struck by a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that set off a triple meltdown at a nuclear power plant. The disaster killed more than 19,000 people.

This is what we saw. nyti.ms/3bARt2A
Even a decade after the natural disasters in Fukushima triggered a nuclear meltdown, the Japanese government has not fully reopened villages and towns within the 12-mile evacuation zone. Many former residents have no plans to return.

See the photos: nyti.ms/3te7dyB Image
Some people are coming back to Fukushima, though. To them, returning home — or restarting their businesses — is worth the residual radiation risk.

The places they are rebuilding feel familiar, yet eerie and hostile at the same time. nyti.ms/3te7dyB Image

A collapse in tourism and employment. A strain on city services. A rise in crime.

New York City has become a canvas upon which nearly every element of the coronavirus pandemic played out. Here's what it looks like. nyti.ms/30xpbzK
The photojournalist Ashley Gilbertson spent months documenting the changes in New York as its economy frayed and split during the pandemic. nyti.ms/3vcnZjn Image
Cases peaked early. Retailers closed their doors. Wealthy residents fled to second homes in the Hamptons. Late-night subway service was eliminated, a sign that many New Yorkers who had to keep going to work were largely left to fend for themselves. nyti.ms/3vcnZjn Image

Our annual music issue from @NYTmag is here. These are 19 songs that matter right now. Listen for yourself. nyti.ms/3bwmOU7
Music “may have been locked out of the places where we once gathered to experience it, but it instantly flowed wherever else it could connect us,” writes @ntabebe for @NYTmag. nyti.ms/3bwmOU7
“My mom used to say life isn’t a competition, but it feels good to win.” Phoebe Bridgers talks about her song “Kyoto,” her Grammy nominations and the minefield of writing tough songs about your family.

The moment Chuck Schumer achieved his longtime dream of becoming the Senate majority leader, he was hiding in a secure room from a violent pro-Trump mob.

“January 6th was the best of times,” he said, “and it was the worst of times.” nyti.ms/2OAKIF4
He later heard that one of the rioters prowling the halls of the Capitol had been looking for his desk, saying, “Where’s the big Jew?"

Charles Ellis Schumer, 70, is now the first New Yorker and first Jewish person ever to lead the U.S. Senate. nyti.ms/2OAKIF4
Schumer’s dream job comes with huge challenges: It falls to him to maneuver President Biden’s agenda through a polarized, 50-50 Senate without one vote to spare. He passed his first test over the weekend, narrowly passing the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill.
