Covid-19 cases, deaths and hospitalizations have been declining in the United States.

But a Post analysis reveals that in some parts of the country the virus continues to rage among those who haven’t received a shot. wapo.st/3wRORoN
Take Washington state for example:

Washington’s case rate among unvaccinated people is as high as it was in late January, near the peak of covid-19 infections. wapo.st/3wRORoN Image
The adjusted rates in several states show the pandemic is spreading as fast among the unvaccinated as it did during the winter surge.

Unvaccinated people are getting the wrong message, experts said. wapo.st/3wRORoN "They think it's safe ...

Amazon, the second-largest private employer in the United States, is also a leader in another category: how often its warehouse workers are injured.

New OSHA data showed those jobs can be more dangerous than at comparable warehouses. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
In 2020, for every 200,000 hours worked at an Amazon warehouse in the U.S. — the equivalent of 100 employees working full time for a year — there were 5.9 serious incidents, according to the OSHA data.

That’s nearly double the rate of non-Amazon warehouses.
Bobby Gosvener’s serious injury, a herniated disc, was among more than 24,400 reported cases at 638 Amazon warehouses in 2020.

More than 10,800 injuries resulted in employees missing work while they recovered, according to the OSHA data. wapo.st/3vJon8N

For the past month, Arizonans have been tallying ballots from the 2020 presidential election — even though the ballots have been counted, verified, checked repeatedly, adjudicated nationwide and certified over and over again, for nearly seven months now. wapo.st/3oSDA4S
Last month, the Republican-led Arizona Senate took custody of all the nearly 2.1 million ballots from Maricopa County and then gave those ballots to a private company called Cyber Ninjas, a Florida cybersecurity firm that has never conducted an election audit.
Multiple checks have confirmed that Joseph R. Biden beat Donald J. Trump for the presidency. Every time, Trump die-hards have doubted the outcome, @MrDanZak writes. wapo.st/3oSDA4S "All you have left now is the crazies leading the crazi"It's unacceptable," said Grant Woods, a former Re"It's a clown-car farce," said Terry Goddard, a fo"We're in uncharted waters," said Tammy Patrick, a

The Atlanta-area spa shootings hit home for many Asian American women: “This could have been me.”

Ten Asian American women explain the connection they feel to the six slain women, and the resilience required to assimilate while facing ongoing harassment. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…
When Karen Watkins heard about the shooting, she thought of her mother, who was often mocked for her race and accused of “stealing” jobs.

“I remember those people getting mad at her in the grocery store. If they had a gun and they got frustrated, they could just shoot at her.”
Mariah Hatta survived a fatal shooting at work in 2008. People often check in on her when a mass shooting occurs.

The Atlanta-area one felt different: “Workplace ones always kind of hit a little close to home.” The victims being mostly Asian women made it “just a little harder.”

Brood X contains billions — maybe trillions — of cicadas, and they are emerging after 17 years underground.

They will shake up parts of the eastern U.S. during a raucous few weeks as full-fledged adults. Then, just as suddenly, they will die.⁠ wapo.st/3bPqfVN
Since 2004, the Brood X cicadas have been growing and molting underground, drinking a fluid called xylem from plant and tree roots through a straw-like beak.⁠ Within a couple of weeks, half the brood will emerge.

Take a scroll through a cicada's life: wapo.st/3bPqfVN
After shedding its brown shell and the passage of a couple days, it will be able to fly and call. wapo.st/3bPqfVN After wriggling out of its ...In a few hours, its body wi...

The Post’s “The Afghanistan Papers” book will publish on Aug. 31.

The account is based on interviews with more than 1,000 people who knew that the U.S. government was presenting a distorted, and sometimes entirely fabricated, version of the facts. wapo.st/3wELCRD
The book builds on Craig Whitlock’s award-winning story, which investigates how three successive presidents and their military commanders deceived the public about the longest war in American history.

For nearly two decades of fighting in Afghanistan, U.S. leaders sounded a constant refrain: We are making progress.

They were not, documents show, and they knew it.

Here's The Post's 2019 investigation:
