Announcing a new opening at @nytgraphics: We are looking for a creative and versatile 3-D specialist to join our team. nytimes.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NYT/job/… This graphics editor will play an important role in helping shape visual reconstructions and investigations, and stories that rely on spatial analysis or provide immersive experiences for readers, like our story about the Tulsa massacre.

In the run-up to the Democratic convention, a closely guarded secret was how much time each speaker would get. Many privately jockeyed for extra time.

We kept track over the 4 nights. Here's how it played out — and what it says about the party. nytimes.com/interactive/20… Establishment Democrats

All 4 nights were dominated by familiar political figures, many of whom have known and worked for years with Joe Biden and share his center-left ideology. nyti.ms/2CMt37B

The number of people dying from the coronavirus in the U.S. far exceeds what would be expected in a normal year.

Our analysis of C.D.C. data, which adjusts death records to account for reporting lags, shows how many more people are dying in every state.
nyti.ms/2BOpRYQ About 200,700 more people have died in the U.S. between March 15 and July 25 than in years past. That number, called excess deaths, is 54,000 higher than the official count of coronavirus deaths for that period.

The number of people dying from the coronavirus in the U.S. far exceeds the number of people who would be expected to die in a normal year.

Our analysis of updated CDC data, released today, shows how many more people are dying in each state.
nyti.ms/2XOqv0z At least 94,700 more people have died in the U.S. between March 15 and May 9 than in years past. That number, called excess deaths, is 19,400 higher than the official count of coronavirus deaths for that period.

44,000 more people died than normal from mid-March to early May in New York and New Jersey, our analysis found. While Covid-19 is the leading cause, we found that more people have also been dying from other causes.

nyti.ms/2yWnK3G People dying from Covid-19 officially account for 68% of New York and New Jersey’s excess deaths — a measure of how many more people died above normal levels.

But these other causes of death have also spiked during the pandemic.

The Trump administration is trying to contain a coronavirus outbreak at the White House. Here is a look at one of the devices being used to test its staff members. It can produce results in less than 15 minutes. nyti.ms/3bsQfDk Here is how the testing works.

First, a sample is taken. For more reliable results, the swab must be inserted deep into the cavity between the nose and mouth. But a sample can also be taken with a simple swab of the nose or throat.

The coronavirus is packed with genetic instructions to make millions of copies of itself. But sometimes those copies contain tiny mistakes, called mutations. As the virus spreads from person to person, they randomly accumulate more mutations. nyti.ms/3bTAJkG The genetic instructions to make all those copies are encoded in 30,000 “letters” of RNA (a, c, g, u). The infected cell reads those letters and translates them into many kinds of proteins. nyti.ms/3bTAJkG

Two weeks ago, there were less than 1,000 U.S. coronavirus cases.

As of Monday night, 40,000+ have tested positive in every state, D.C. and three territories — a sign of the virus’s spread and increased testing.

Here's what we found tracking the virus.

nytimes.com/interactive/20… On March 1, officials in New York State reported the first coronavirus case there. Three weeks on, the number of confirmed diagnoses has risen past 20,000, with more than 5,700 new cases announced on Monday.

Though data on coronavirus testing has been spotty, what is available shows just how behind the United States is in its screening efforts. 1/ nytimes.com/interactive/20… The first coronavirus cases in the U.S. and South Korea were discovered around the same time in January, but you can see that according to official government accounts, the U.S. tested far fewer patients in the weeks after. 2/

In the United States, at least 425 people have been treated for coronavirus in 32 states and Washington, D.C., and at least 19 patients with the virus have died.

We’re updating our maps pages as we get new reports. Here’s our US page:
nytimes.com/interactive/20… Around the world, the coronavirus outbreak has sickened more than 105,900 people in at least 92 countries. At least 3,593 people have died, all but 489 in mainland China.

We tracked Iran's oil tanker fleet across the globe since May and found 12 ships that delivered oil to China and elsewhere, far more than previously known, in open defiance to U.S. sanctions. nytimes.com/interactive/20… We used satellite imagery, position data and expert analysis to identify 12 ships that have made deliveries so far, and several others underway.
