An updated model tracking the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. now predicts that fewer people will die and fewer hospital beds will be needed. The model predicts that 81,766 people will die in the U.S. over the next four months, with just under 141,000 hospital beds being needed. That’s down about 12,000 deaths and 121,000 fewer hospital beds from last week. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said it would be a “false statement� to claim the outbreak is under control, stressing that it could return in force by fall and emerge as a “seasonal, cyclic� threat.

1/ Trump removed the Pentagon’s acting inspector general, who was tapped to lead the group responsible for preventing “waste, fraud, and abuse� of the $2 trillion coronavirus emergency stimulus package passed last month. A panel of inspectors general had named Glenn Fine to lead the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee. Trump, instead, replaced Fine with EPA’s watchdog, Sean O’Donnell, as the temporary Pentagon watchdog. Because Fine is no longer acting inspector general, he is ineligible to hold the spending watchdog role, since the new law permits only current inspectors general to fill the position. (Politico /
