Oregon Pauses Lifting of Coronavirus Lockdown as Cases Hit New High
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in the United States, the coronavirus death toll is approaching
114,000, but that is widely viewed to be a vast undercount. In Maryland,
The Baltimore Sun reports hundreds of deaths have gone uncounted in
nursing homes and other elder care facilities. Many states are reporting
a new surge in cases following the reopening of businesses. In Oregon,
officials have paused reopening the state's economy as the number of
daily infections hits a new high.
