Welcome to Prognosis. I'm Francesca Levy. Laura Carlson is out. It's day 117 since coronavirus was declared a global pandemic. Today's main story. As another wave of the virus bears down on the United States, millions of people who lost their jobs when the outbreak began are stranded without health insurance.

But first, here's what happened in virus news today. India has become a global hotspot for the pandemic.

The country's outbreak is now the third biggest in the world, surpassing Russia.

rates than whites. The New York Times reported on federal data that proves this, data that was only

made available after the newspaper sued the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Latinos and blacks have been three times as likely to become infected and twice as likely to die from the virus, according to the new numbers.

And now for today's main story. As a second coronavirus wave threatens America, the virus has endangered the health of millions.

Not just because of the effects of COVID-19, but because a wave of job losses since the disease first hit has left them without health insurance.
