The real number is probably higher, as some facilities released very ill inmates before they died. A study from Israel found that the Pfizer vaccine was effective against it. Armed gangs control parts of the capital, and poverty and hunger are on the rise.ĭelta is now the dominant variant of the virus in the U.S., the C.D.C.
Haiti has struggled to recover from an earthquake in 2010.

Haitian officials said the police killed four people and arrested two others suspected in the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, but didn’t name them.

Dan’s story is accompanied by beautiful photos of Chicago, taken by Lyndon French. It all makes for an alarming story about a great American city - and a case study in the growing, uncertain dangers that the world faces after years of doing little to confront the menace of climate change. The flow between drinking water and wastewater should obviously go in only one direction. That would be a problem, given that the river carries away the city’s wastewater - and the lake is the source of the city’s drinking water. It has been replaced by sandbags, massive concrete blocks and other flood barriers.Īnd yet increased rates of evaporation - from hot weather - have also left Lake Michigan at risk of falling so low at times that it would no longer flow into the Chicago River. At one 13-story apartment building on the South Side, there is no longer patio furniture on the terrace overlooking the lake. Instead, as John Allis of the Army Corps of Engineers told Dan Egan, “We can expect extremes on both ends.”įlooding has become more common. In the best case scenario, the two would roughly cancel out, and the lake and river would always remain near their historical levels.
The result, as one expert says, is an emerging tug of war between evaporation and precipitation.
