Infected? Watch out for a contact tracing scam. Scammers pretending to be contact tracers are sending text messages that ask you to click on a link that installs software on your device … software that you don’t want!
A new study reports that there were 122,300 more deaths in the US from March to May, a 28% increase when compared to previous years. The study concludes that the majority of the increase is attributable to COVID-19. 95,235 is the official count, which is probably quite low.
