Dear Reader,
The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Here’s the coronavirus death toll through June 1. Britain showed some kind of reporting surge on Monday. The raw numbers for Sweden continue to show a plateau, but the official numbers (based on date of death) haven’t caught up yet. Canada has plateaued for the past two weeks and the United States has plateaued for the past week. North America is not looking too good right now.
The raw data from Johns Hopkins is here. The Public Health Agency of Sweden is here.
