Armenia and Azerbaijan’s Nagorno-Karabakh peace deal is quite the surprise – Vox
The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan came to an abrupt end on Monday, just hours after it looked as though the conflict might enter a more dangerous phase that some feared would escalate into ethnic cleansing.
(Translation – mine – Two imperialists; Turkey and Russia cut up populations for their own needs/vanity. The losers are Armenia and Azerbaijan.)

Asymptomatic COVID-19 nurses allowed to stay on job in North Dakota amid staff shortage | TheHill
North Dakota, as of Monday, is now facing “high-risk” levels of COVID-19 infections, prompting recommendations that restaurants, bars and venues limit their capacity to 25 percent. The state has been reporting record levels of coronavirus cases recently, much like other parts of the country. North Dakota has more than 10,800 active COVID-19 cases. Despite those numbers, Burgum has resisted calls from health experts to enact a statewide mask-mandate, instead choosing to encourage mask use and relying on “personal responsibility.”

Covid Superspreader Risk Is Linked to Restaurants, Gyms, Hotels – Bloomberg
The reopening of restaurants, gyms and hotels carries the highest danger of spreading Covid-19, according to a study that used mobile phone data from 98 million people to model the risks of infection at different locations.
Researchers at Stanford University and Northwestern University used data collected between March and May in cities across the U.S. to map the movement of people. They looked at where they went, how long they stayed, how many others were there and what neighborhoods they were visiting from. They then combined that information with data on the number of cases and how the virus spreads to create infection models.
