Here’s the latest. Anna Moneymaker for The New York Times 1. Today is the first day of fall, and with it comes the third season of Covid-19 — and a staggering death toll.

President Trump estimated back in May that 100,000 would die over the course of the pandemic. Above, flags planted in front of the Washington Monument to honor the 200,000 dead.

The nation’s caseload is growing especially in states in the middle of the country like Wisconsin, Montana and North Dakota. The arrival of flu season and the prospect of cooler fall air — likely to send many people indoors — have added to fears about what the coming months may bring. Thousands of cases have already been linked to schools this season. But a lack of reporting of data means that there is no national tally of cases in schools.

The Times spoke to two dozen experts who said decisions made now would spell the difference between a difficult future and something far worse. “It’s as if we’ve been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for decades” and the world is now feeling the effects, said Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech University. But, she said, “we’re not dead yet.” Managing climate change, experts said,[will require rethinking virtually every aspect of daily life](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhTP7jP0TiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wOS8yMi9jbGltYXRlL2NsaW1hdGUtY2hhbmdlLWZ1dHVyZS5odG1sP2E9JmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjAwOTIyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIyNDMyJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTM4NzU3JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAI-N5al9OmxnyUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), including home construction and power grids — and a large shift in politics in a country that has largely ignored climate change.  Tyler Schiffman 8.

Researchers recently discovered that many deep-sea species can survive at sea level if slowly acclimated. To keep deep-sea animals healthy, the aquarium developed a seawater system using filtration technology first developed by the pharmaceutical industry.  Armando Franca/Associated Press 9. Back in February, Maya Gabeira found herself in the perfect position at the Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge in Portugal when a big set of waves rolled in. Big turned out to be an understatement. This month, a team of private wave engineers and scientists determined that the wave the Brazilian surfer rode that day was 73.5 feet, smashing her own previous record by more than five feet. It wasn’t just the biggest wave ever ridden by a woman.
