The bipartisan consensus on broadband is a mirage Vox.com 1 hr ago Rebecca Heilweil © T.J. Kirkpatrick/The New York Times/Bloomberg via Getty Images Members of Congress are focused on funding broadband connection through the infrastructure package. There’s a tense fight in Washington between Republicans and Democrats over President Biden’s infrastructure plan, from the amount of funding in it to the very definition of infrastructure.

Wuhan lab workers fell ill weeks before Covid emerged fuelling leak theory Mirror 3 hrs ago Chris Kitching & David Shepardson & Andrea Shalal Three researchers from a Wuhan lab that investigated Covid-19 fell ill just weeks before the virus emerged as a mystery illness, it is claimed. The workers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) were sick enough that they had to go to a hospital for treatment in November 2019, according to a previously undisclosed US intelligence report. The report, which was revealed by the Wall Street Journal, has fuelled calls for a broader investigation into the theory that the initial outbreak was caused by a leak at the laboratory.
