From WIRED’s coronavirus update:
The US tops 40,000 coronavirus deaths
The US reached 40,000 deaths from the coronavirus this weekend, growing the number to 166,000 deaths worldwide. The actual numbers are still believed to be much higher due to unreported cases, a testing shortage, and lack of government transparency in reporting.

A study done by researchers at University of Aix-Marseille in France dashed hopes that coronavirus might disappear this summer. Researchers found that even in 140-degree temperatures the virus not only stayed alive but continued to replicate. The virus had to be exposed to 197.6-degree temperatures for 15 minutes to actually kill it.
