The Republican leads in a California House race. Manhattan may face a real-estate reckoning. And there is both good news and worrisome news about the virus. Positive signs — for now President Trump insists that things are looking up with the coronavirus Anthony Fauci, one of his top advisers, has a different message: “We run the risk of having a resurgence.” Which view is right? The news about the coronavirus really has gotten better over the past week. There have been fewer than 200 deaths in New York for two consecutive days, down from more than 1,000 in early April. Nationwide, the number of confirmed new cases each day has finally begun [to decline substantially](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0T7aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMC8wNC8yMy91cHNob3QvZml2ZS13YXlzLXRvLW1vbml0b3ItY29yb25hdmlydXMtb3V0YnJlYWstdXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjAwNTEzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4NDM1Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yNzUxMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKABs_zbteMhXwqlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). There is even reason to believe the official numbers aren’t fully capturing the decline — because the number of tests being conducted has also been rising. All else equal, more tests should lead to more confirmed cases. That’s why epidemiologists also track the percentage of tests that come back positive (as [this Atlantic article from last month](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P4QLAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRoZWF0bGFudGljLmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FyY2hpdmUvMjAyMC8wNC91cy1jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy1vdXRicmVhay1vdXQtY29udHJvbC10ZXN0LXBvc2l0aXZpdHktcmF0ZS82MTAxMzIvP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMDA1MTMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTg0MzUmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTI3NTExJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAGz_Nu14yFfCqUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) helpfully explains). That percentage is now falling, both in the New York region and outside of it: Source: The COVID Tracking Project | By The New York Times So why, then, do Fauci and many other public-health experts sound so worried? Because the United States may be on the cusp of ending the very policies that have caused the recent progress. There have been only two proven approaches to stopping the virus’s spread so far. One is extreme social distancing, like the lockdown that has been in effect across much of the U.S. since March. The other is an intricate program of testing, tracking and quarantining, as parts of Asia have done. Right now, large parts of the U.S. are moving toward ending their lockdowns before it’s wise to do so, according to many epidemiologists. Perhaps the biggest problem: Despite the recent increase in tests, the country is still doing far fewer [than are likely needed to avoid new outbreaks](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMC8wNC8xNy91cy9jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy10ZXN0aW5nLXN0YXRlcy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMDA1MTMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTg0MzUmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTI3NTExJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAGz_Nu14yFfCqUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Senator Mitt Romney, the Utah Republican, echoed the views of experts yesterday when he said that the country’s testing record was “nothing to celebrate whatsoever.” Fauci, in his remote testimony to the Senate yesterday, said: “There is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control” if the economy opens too quickly, “leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided.” In other virus developments: - Last week, the share of Americans staying home fell to 36 percent, down from 44 percent a few weeks ago, [as a Times graphic shows](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMC8wNS8xMi91cy9jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy1yZW9wZW5pbmctc2h1dGRvd24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjAwNTEzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4NDM1Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yNzUxMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKABs_zbteMhXwqlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). - California State University, the nation’s largest four-year public university system, [canceled in-person classes](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TXaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMi91cy9jYWwtc3RhdGUtb25saW5lLWNsYXNzZXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjAwNTEzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4NDM1Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yNzUxMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKABs_zbteMhXwqlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) for the fall. - The virus came late to Latin America, but death rates there are now [comparable to those in Europe](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TkaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMi93b3JsZC9hbWVyaWNhcy9sYXRpbi1hbWVyaWNhLXZpcnVzLWRlYXRoLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIwMDUxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xODQzNSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9Mjc1MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgAbP827XjIV8KpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). THE MORNING FIVE 1. A Republican leads in California Voter drops off ballots in a special election for California’s 25th Congressional District in Simi Valley, Calif. on Tuesday.Mark J. Terrill/Associated Press The votes aren’t all counted yet, but the Republican candidate — Mike Garcia, a political newcomer — holds a big lead in a special House election held yesterday in the Los Angeles suburbs. With about three-quarters of the vote counted and mailed ballots still being counted, Garcia is [ahead by 12 percentage points](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9jYWxpZm9ybmlhLXdpc2NvbnNpbi1lbGVjdGlvbnMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjAwNTEzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4NDM1Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yNzUxMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKABs_zbteMhXwqlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). The district normally leans Democratic, and Garcia’s lead is a sign that Democrats did not turn out many of their voters in an election held on lockdown. If Garcia wins, it will feed Democratic concerns about turnout in November. 2. Another twist in the Flynn case A federal judge has opened the door for [outside parties to oppose the Justice Department’s motion to drop the criminal case](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9taWNoYWVsLWZseW5uLWNoYXJnZS1qdWRnZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMDA1MTMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTg0MzUmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTI3NTExJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAGz_Nu14yFfCqUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) against the former national security adviser Michal Flynn. The move suggests that the judge has some skepticism about the Justice Department’s argument that Flynn should never have been charged. Last week, prosecutors asked the judge to throw out their case. Legal experts said the move was part of a continuing pattern of the Justice Department’s favorable treatment of Trump allies under the current attorney general, William Barr. 3. The Supreme Court may defer on Trump’s finances Empty U.S. Supreme Court room in Washington last year.J. Scott Applewhite/Associated Press The Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday about President Trump’s efforts to shield his financial records from Congress and prosecutors. Some of the justices’ questions raised the [possibility that they might avoid taking a stand](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TeaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMi91cy9zdXByZW1lLWNvdXJ0LXRydW1wLXRheC1yZXR1cm5zLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIwMDUxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xODQzNSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9Mjc1MTEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgAbP827XjIV8KpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) on the weighty constitutional issues and return the cases to lower courts. “That would have the incidental effect of deferring a final decision beyond the 2020 presidential election,” our correspondent Adam Liptak explains. In that case, the public would be unlikely to see the president’s financial records before November. 4.

Republicans say they will counter with a bill to shield businesses from virus-related lawsuits.

McConnell said that Obama “[should have kept his mouth shut](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnlI_P0TcaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMi91cy9taXRjaC1tY2Nvbm5lbGwtb2JhbWEtcml2YWxyeS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMDA1MTMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTg0MzUmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTI3NTExJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAGz_Nu14yFfCqUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~)” instead of criticizing the Trump administration’s coronavirus response in a call with former staffers.

Elevators are closed spaces with limited air circulation, and particles from coughs and sneezes can linger in elevators and land on buttons.” Experts say the risks of exposure are low if you’re alone in the elevator, partly because people don’t spend enough time there to leave behind large numbers of infectious droplets. But Tara still recommends wearing a mask at all times in an elevator — both for self-protection and to minimize the risk of infecting others if you are sick. And if someone without a mask tries to get on an elevator you’re already on? Step off and wait for the next one.
