2.  Your odds of catching the virus on a plane might be lower than you think.  A professor at M.I.T. ran some numbers.  On a two-hour flight, he says you have a 1 in 4,300 chance of getting sick.  And if the middle seat is empty, it’s 1 in 7,700.

3.  A five-year-old boy in El Paso has been putting together COVID-19 care packages for essential workers who live in his neighborhood.  His mom helps put them together with things like hand sanitizer and Lysol.  Then he delivers them on his Power Wheel.
