Renee Bach ran a treatment center for severely malnourished children in Uganda. Over five years, 105 died. This week, a lawsuit by two mothers who each lost a son was settled with a cash payment.

As modelers look at national trends, they're concerned about case jumps in areas that had previously managed largely to squelch the virus.

Forecasters say the coronavirus outbreaks across the South have been seeding a resurgence in the Northeast. Consequences could be severe unless the Northeast steps up social distancing immediately.

How can communities stop coronavirus case surges without crushing the economy? Some scientists say widespread mask wearing may be more than a helpful precaution — it may the solution.

How much could coronavirus infections be curbed through mandatory masking, better testing and tracing, and other measures short of a return to full lockdown? Here's what mathematical models tell us.

The concerns range from condescending attitudes toward people of color to inequities of pay between international and local workers. The aid group's leaders have pledged to address the issues.

More than 1,000 current and former staffers of Doctors Without Borders have signed a letter calling on the vaunted aid group to root out pervasive institutional racism within the organization.

Local data reveal a deeper picture of where the current hot spots are in the United States — and where new ones could surface.

As coronavirus cases surge across the U.S., NPR discusses the metrics that identify which states, counties and cities are facing the biggest challenges now — and which could be future hotspots.

The nation still sees more than 20,000 new cases on average a day, a number that's barely budged for weeks. Forecasters say we're looking at tens of thousands more deaths this summer.

The nationwide demonstrations have caused concerns about a possible surge in the coronavirus cases. It would depend on how well everyone sticks to practices that keep the virus in check.

In a letter sent to Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, these U.S. scientists said they were "gravely concerned" about the abrupt termination of a federal grant to EcoHealth Alliance.

A new analysis from Columbia University finds nearly 36,000 fewer people would have died if social distancing measures had been put in place across the U.S. just one week earlier.

Projections of deaths from COVID-19 vary wildly. How are we to make sense of the differences? One researcher has developed one model that compares and merges them all.

A forecast of 3,000 deaths a day appeared in an internal document first obtained by The New York Times. But the epidemiologist who authored the analysis tells NPR the work is incomplete.

The administration pushed back against an internal government report, obtained by The New York Times, predicting the daily coronavirus death toll could nearly double in the U.S. by early June.

The project, run by the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance, aimed to identify places to monitor, come up with strategies to prevent spillover of the virus and get a jump on creating vaccines and treatments.

Some states are moving forward, but many would be wise to wait, according to experts at the University of Washington. Here's their estimate for each state's safe date to reopen.

President Trump unveiled guidelines for states to reopen in three stages, but public health officials say they fall short. States are going to have to figure out a lot of it for themselves.
