UKHSA said it had identified two individuals in England, both of whom had underlying medical conditions, who died last month within 28 days of infectionOne person has died in Britain linked to an ongoing E coli outbreak, the UK Health Security Agency said on Thursday, with the total number of confirmed cases rising to 275. UKHSA said it had identified two individuals in England, both of whom had underlying medical conditions, who died last month within 28 days of infection with the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, or STEC, strain of the bacteria. One of those deaths was likely linked to their STEC infection it said, based on information available from clinicians. UKHSA first flagged a rise in STEC cases on June 6, and all the currently confirmed cases had symptom onset dates before June 4. Several sandwich manufacturers have withdrawn or recalled various sandwiches, wraps, subs and rolls as a precaution after the Food Standards Agency narrowed down the likely source of the outbreak to a type of lettuce.

Column: Tin-pot demagogues and banana republics
All one has to do is buy groceries and top off the tank to realize the topsy-turvy, hinky nature of our status quo. Luckily (or not) for me, several of my friends are respected economists, and they confirm what my empirical Spidey sense already told me. 1 of politics: Never admit there’s anything wrong with the course of your policies. This is not to say we shouldn’t be worried about our governor in her current capacity or her alleged national aspirations. Then there’s the tin-pot demagogue in the Oval Office, the Shouter in Chief, the most anti-Catholic Catholic this side of Beal City.

Jonah Goldberg: Unlike most presidential debates, this one actually matters
I’ve changed my mind: This week’s presidential debate matters. Before I continue, a quick recap: Last month, I expressed my long-standing view that presidential debates aren’t very meaningful and are very stupid. Even debate lovers concede that John F. Kennedy won the first presidential debate in 1960 because he was telegenic and Richard Nixon looked like he woke up in a motel room after a bender. The takeaway from presidential debates tends not to be a policy position or plan but rather a comfort level with the idea of a person being in our faces for four more years. I don’t think debates are a good test of presidential fitness, but for a lot of voters, this debate could be a decisive test of Biden’s mental fitness.
