About two dozen states have decided to scale back their daily tracking of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths as President Joe Biden’s administration and other federal officials continue trying to get more Americans and the rest of the world vaccinated.
Some health officials are calling the scaleback premature, and the National Association of County and City Health Officials urges daily Covid-19 data tracking to continue.
“As far as I know, we’re still in a public health emergency as a country,” Lori Tremmel Freeman, the association’s chief executive officer, told CNN on Wednesday. “That has not been downgraded yet.”
A former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services worker and two former hedge fund analysts on Wednesday urged the Second Circuit to reverse all of their insider trading convictions following the U.S. Supreme Court's remand in light of its Bridgegate decision, saying the government can't salvage two counts of conviction out of many it now agrees should be set aside.
