Scientists in Houston on Wednesday released a study of more than 5,000 genetic sequences of the coronavirus, which reveals the virus’s continual accumulation of mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious.
That mutation is associated with a higher viral load among patients upon initial diagnosis, the researchers found.
The study, which has not been peer-reviewed, was posted Wednesday on the preprint server MedRxiv. It appears to be the largest single aggregation of genetic sequences of the virus in the United States thus far. A larger batch of sequences was published earlier this month by scientists in the United Kingdom, and, like the Houston study, concluded that a mutation that changes the structure of the “spike protein” on the surface of the ...

“It’s a difficult one because it will affect real people and their lives, it will affect their families,” de Blasio told reporters.

Protests in Louisville turned violent as police said an officer was shot during demonstrations that erupted after a Kentucky grand jury on Wednesday indicted one officer for allegedly endangering the neighbors of Breonna Taylor during the police shooting that resulted in her death.
The Louisville Metro Police Department couldn't provide details about the shooting, which took place just before the 9 p.m. curfew went into effect. The officer's condition was also unknown. The FBI confirmed the officer shooting in a tweet.
The investigation into the shooting was ongoing, according to the LMPD. It is unclear if the shooting was directly related to the protests.

Another Arab country will sign a peace deal with Israel in the “next day or two,” US Ambassador to the UN Kelly Craft told Al Arabiya in an interview on Wednesday.
“Our plan is to bring more countries, which we will have more being announced very soon … One [country will sign] in the next day or two,” she said.
“I know others are going to be following,” Craft added.
In August, the United Arab Emirates announced a deal with Israel to establish diplomatic ties and normalize relations. Bahrain followed suit and the three countries signed the deal at a ceremony at the White House last week.

Baltimore, MD - Sept. 23, 2020 — Baltimore City Council President Brandon M. Scott released the following statement in response to the indictment of one out of the three police officers who killed Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, which along with the death of George Floyd, sparked massive civil rights protests against police brutality and systemic racism:
“An interaction with the police should not be a death sentence. The fact that this has been ongoing for hundreds of years is no excuse. Black people cannot be forced to live in fear of the police.
