Plus: Lego Explainer; India's Mysterious Case Dropoff Goats and Soda editor's note Courtesy of PAHO The world is divided into two camps. People who are unaware of Baby Shark. And people who are obsessed with it. There are a lot of them. The most popular Baby Shark video on YouTube has 8 BILLION VIEWS! Many of them are children. That's because Baby Shark sings the "Baby Shark Song," which some may find bouncy and fun (although grumpy souls might call it more than a little annoying). I really wasn't aware of Baby Shark until my granddaughter kept pointing to the TV and saying, "bebeshock." And so she pushed me into the Baby Shark tank. The reason I'm thinking of Baby Shark today is that PAHO -- the Pan American Health Organization -- has just released a [Baby Shark video]( where the lil' predator adapts its song to teach kids how to wash their hands to stay healthy during the pandemic. The global reach of Baby Shark is a reminder that the pandemic has made our world more connected than ever. We are all dealing with the same terrible crisis. Maybe that makes us care about each other a bit more than in the past. Our stories this week reinforce that idea of connectedness -- dispatches from the Honduras and Thailand (see details below) and from India drew tremendous audiences. [The Mystery of India's Plummeting COVID-19 Cases]( was the most popular story on our website for several days running, drawing a huge audience from both India and around the world. Stay well and stay connected. And follow Baby Shark's advice -- even if sharks don't technically have hands!
