CNN: “Republicans who have insisted on holding the election on schedule won two legal battles Monday, as the state Supreme Court blocked Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ bid to delay it until June and the US Supreme Court reversed a lower court’s ruling that gave voters six extra days to return their ballots by mail.”

Wall Street Journal: “The prison, 200 miles west of New Orleans, has emerged as a focal point of the coronavirus pandemic inside the nation’s lockups. Five prisoners have died there from the disease, the most of any federal prison. At least 25 inmates and 21 workers have tested positive, including seven prisoners who are in intensive care and four on ventilators; two employees are also hospitalized, according to data from officials at the facility. The actual figure is almost certainly higher as there is little testing.”

“Interviews with inmates and their families, corrections officers and local officials show a prison under siege by an invisible enemy. Inside cells holding six men each, feverish, coughing inmates at times weren’t separated from their healthy cellmates, but instead lay in their bunks an arm’s length away. Some fashioned masks from their own clothing. Inmates say they can hear coughing throughout the halls every night.”

New York Times: “If hydroxychloroquine becomes an accepted treatment, several pharmaceutical companies stand to profit, including shareholders and senior executives with connections to the president. Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine.”

“Major supermarket chains are beginning to report their first coronavirus-related employee deaths, leading to store closures and increasing anxiety among grocery workers as the pandemic intensifies across the country,” the Washington Post reports.

“Though more than 40 states have ordered nonessential businesses to close and told residents to stay home to stem the spread of the virus, supermarkets are among the retailers that remain open. Thousands of grocery employees have continued to report to work as U.S. infections and death rates continue to climb, with many reporting long shifts and extra workloads to keep up with spiking demand. Many workers say they don’t have enough protective gear to deal with hundreds of customers a day.”
