Insurance coverage lost at record pace
Over the course of a year from 2008 to 2009, an estimated 3.9 million laid-off workers lost their health insurance in the recession. That was an annual record at the time, but the pandemic already has shattered it, reports the New York Times.
An assessment by the nonpartisan group Families USA concludes that 5.4 million workers lost their health insurance between February and May. And that figure counts only the laid-off workers, not affected family members, notes the Hill. Factor in those people, and more than 27 million might be without insurance amid a national health crisis.

Adulthood interrupted: Millions of Gen Zers move back into their parents' homes
Mental health issues in young adults soar. Generation Z is hurting.
By Andrew Chamings Updated 8:48 am PDT, Monday, July 13, 2020
In April 2020, 32 million adults lived with their parents, the highest number on record, and more than 80% of those who recently moved back in with their parents are Gen Zers.
Gen Z is hurting, and the data back that up.

A recent survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal agencies shows an estimated 47.4% of adults ages 18-29 are experiencing anxiety or depression symptoms amid COVID-19.
"A young adult who moves home could experience feelings of shame or failure," Dragonette said.
Gabe Moran, a 22-year-old recent graduate of Emory University, now working remotely for a financial services company from his childhood bedroom in the Bay Area, also spoke to SFGATE about the sudden change in trajectory.
“In my mind, there are two sacrosanct moments that mark the initiation into adulthood. The first of these is, of course, ending your formal education, walking across the stage at graduation to receive my degree. The second is staking your independence by moving into your first apartment/townhouse and starting your first full time job," Moran said.
"Even though I was fortunate to get a great position with a great company in this depressed job market, I cannot help but feel like I still somehow failed when every day, I log into work from my childhood bedroom. In the era of coronavirus, my sense of adulthood feels like a dream deferred,” he added.

Trump has a habit of self-assessing his own approval among Republicans without actually citing any data.
He has tweeted about his GOP approval nearly 50 times over the course of two years, only twice mentioning actual polls. He initially said his GOP approval was 90% in 2018, before claiming 93% in the first half of 2019, 94% from July to October 2019, 95% until April 2020 and 96% since then, without deviation. “President Trump Approval Rating in the Republican Party at 96%. Thank You!” he tweeted on Friday.
