The coronavirus pandemic has made a fundamental change in the way Americans take vacations--at least for the time being. According to Business Insider, vacationers nervous about flying are taking to the road and are staying closer to home. The usual distance is about 100 miles away. They're also booking the same place multiple times, travelling just so they can work remotely from somewhere else as a change of pace. Roadtrippers are having a significant impact on the economy. There's been an uptick in retail sales for auto parts and sporting goods. Also, older millennials and Gen Xers entering the market for the first time, rather than retirees, are making up the bulk of the unprecedented demand for RVs.
Although Americans are understandably very concerned about the health of US President Donald Trump, the public has no right to know. That's because his physicians are bound by HIPAA privacy laws, which allow them to only disclose to the public what the patient has permitted them to share. According to Business Insider, President Trump's doctor has declined to answer several major questions about the president's COVID-19 case. Dr. Sean Conley refused to say whether Trump had gotten supplemental oxygen. They later acknowledged he had on two occasions. Dr. Conley would also not say when Trump's last negative COVID-19 test was.

Emergency service workers continued to inspect the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) train that derailed at Brooklyn's Atlantic Terminal on Wednesday morning, injuring 103. The train was traveling at around 15 miles per hour and was carrying 650 people on board when it slammed through a metal bumper designed to keep it on the tracks. Glass from the windows shattered and passengers were thrown around. Emergency services blocked roads around the station before quickly evacuating the passengers and rushing the injured to hospital. None of the injuries were deemed life threatening. The underlying cause of the incident remains unconfirmed, however, authorities suspect human error as the leading reason behind the crash. Investigators were called in after all passengers were evacuated and began to inspect the derailed train, which is the second major accident in the metropolitan to occur in the past 5 months. A major derailment occurred in September 2016 when a New Jersey commuter train derailed at the Hoboken station, injuring 114 and killing one. Authorities interviewed the engineer, conductor, and brakeman and tested all the staff for alcohol and drugs. The LIRR is the United States largest commuter rail system, running 24 hours a day, every day of the year and carrying around 330,000 passengers daily.
