In the U.S., a country with one of the worst outbreaks in the world, nine in 100 people are known to have had the coronavirus.

In prisons, the rate is 34 in 100, more than three times as high. nyti.ms/3uDJOar

Since last March, New York Times reporters have tracked every known coronavirus case in every correctional setting in the U.S., including state and federal prisons, immigrant detention centers, juvenile detention facilities, and county and regional jails. nyti.ms/3uDJOar

The virus has killed prisoners at higher rates than the general population. At least 2,700 have died in custody, where access to quality health care is poor. nyti.ms/3uDJOar

Europe has once again swelled with new coronavirus cases, driving a worrisome global surge.

But this time, the rise in new cases is being propelled by a variant first seen in Britain, which swept that nation in December. nyti.ms/3sZlBuN

As the variant surged in Britain, it was seeding outbreaks across the continent, many of them unnoticed behind an overall drop in cases. Those variant-heavy outbreaks have since ballooned, becoming dominant in more than a dozen European countries. nyti.ms/3sZlBuN

The variant, known as B.1.1.7, is now spreading in at least 114 countries.

Its devastating effects are most prevalent in Europe, where thousands are dying each day and economies are again being hit by new restrictions on daily life. nyti.ms/3sZlBuN

Breaking News: Amazon appears to have beaten the most significant labor drive in its history. A vote tally showed a majority of workers at an Alabama warehouse voted against forming a union. nyti.ms/2PS5j8L

Workers at an Amazon cast more than 1,600 votes against a union, giving Amazon enough votes to defeat the effort. In making its case, the company argued that its workers had access to jobs that pay $15 an hour without needing to involve a union. nyti.ms/2PS5j8L

The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which led the drive, said Amazon engaged in anti-union tactics and that it would call on the National Labor Relations Board to hold the company accountable for "illegal and egregious behavior." nyti.ms/2PS5j8L

Some of the best golfers in the world contort their hands and arms into some truly exotic putting grips.

Here are nine ways contenders at the Masters will try to roll a little white ball into a hole roughly four inches wide. nyti.ms/3t4WOWg

Lee Westwood, who has twice finished second at the Masters, uses a grip popularized about 25 years ago. For right-handed golfers, the right hand does not merge with a stabilizing left hand at the top of the putter, as was done for decades. nyti.ms/3t3HIQR

Bryson DeChambeau, who was a college physics major, was ranked 145th in putting on the PGA Tour until he converted to the arm-lock method and improved his putting ranking to 28th. nyti.ms/3t3HIQR

We asked 28 Asian and Asian-American photographers to show us what love looks like in a time of anti-Asian hate. See intimacy, connection and community — through their eyes. nyti.ms/31YdjaQ

For many, capturing love meant capturing the mundane, quiet moments of everyday life. For others, love was conveyed through a person or a place. nyti.ms/31YdjaQ

Love was often expressed as concern: Let me take care of you, let me tend to your most basic needs.

A father’s cowboy boots. A pair of glasses. A prayer shawl.

This is what loss looks like. nyti.ms/3cTlLOK

We asked readers to share photos of objects that reminded them of loved ones who died over the last year.

We may not be able to honor the lives of those we lost together, but these images and interviews form a virtual memorial. nyti.ms/3cTlLOK

Margaux Nelson-Wade wishes she had taken this zebra figurine with her when she visited her best friend, Sydney Fitzgerald, in the hospital this past August, just before she died at 23. “I know she would’ve loved to have been able to hold it one last time,” she said.
