Note: Because of the high volume of news regarding the coronavirus outbreak, that news has been published separately:
Major coronavirus metrics continue to head lower in the US, and now also globally. New cases in the US during the week ending May 8th were down 18.6% from new cases during the week ending May 1st, and are now down 83.3% from the January peak; this week also saw fewer new cases than any week since September. This week s US deaths attributed to Covid were 6.8% lower than the prior week s, and down 80.5% from the January high; US Covid deaths are now at the lowest rate since since the second week of July.

President Joe Biden has a plan
to tackle climate change. His major infrastructure program, the American Jobs Plan, is mostly a blueprint for doing just that.
It’s exhaustive the summary alone clocks in at 12,000 words and that’s encouraging. But in all those words, something crucial is missing.
Nowhere does “meat” get a mention. Likewise, “animal agriculture” appears exactly zero times.
If Biden is serious about staving off climate disaster, our meat system is not something he can afford to ignore. At least14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions comes from animal agriculture. That’s largely because ruminant animals like cows emit a lot of methane, and producing feed requires using energy and clearing forests that would otherwise be trapping carbon.
