Summary

Every week for the past year, Axios has published a map of where Covid cases are rising and falling in the U.S. Today, we retire our map because cases are decreasing nationwide, and have been for a while now. But Covid isn’t disappearing. So what will this next phase of the pandemic look like? Plus, the big question mark hanging over the summer Olympics. And, our skeptical space reporter explains why UFOs are having a moment.
