From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! Today's road stop takes us across the street from the Occulus and One World Trade Center.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. The despair wrought on nursing homes by the coronavirus was laid bare Friday in a state survey identifying numerous New York facilities where multiple patients have died. Nineteen of the state’s nursing homes reported 20 or more deaths linked to the pandemic. One Brooklyn home was listed as having 55 deaths.
2. Socially distanced crews in New York and California are keeping horse racing on television in the U.S. during the coronavirus pandemic. Horse racing is one of the few sports ongoing, albeit in a limited capacity at a handful of empty tracks.
3. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the U.S. and Canada have agreed to keep their border closed to nonessential travel for another 30 days. Trudeau says it will keep people on both sides of the border safe amid the pandemic.
