US President Donald Trump denounced Washington, DC police for seemingly doing nothing to prevent a group of activists from bringing down a Confederate general’s statue, calling for the “immediate” arrest of the perpetrators. Videos have emerged showing a group of protesters in the US capital dismantling a statue of Confederate General Albert Pike on Friday evening. Activists made several unsuccessful attempts to tear down the monument, and even had to take a break to review their strategy before eventually knocking the statue from its pedestal – with local police making no attempt to intervene at any point. They are on a […]

As states rush to get back to work and President Donald Trump orders the nation’s coronavirus task force to switch its focus to reopening the economy, health experts are pressing more than ever the need for contact tracing. It’s a tool that proved effective in past epidemics like SARS and Ebola, and it’s regarded as essential to safely reopening the country with the looming threat of higher surges in cases. But it’s also complex and time-consuming. Before the coronavirus pandemic, there were only about 2,200 contact tracers, or disease detectives, in the U.S., according to the Association of State and Territorial […]
