| Greetings, QuickTake readers! In this edition: India soldiers killed in border clash with China, DOJ sues to block John Bolton's White House memoir, and a U.K. footballer scores big for low-income kids.  Common drug cuts Covid-19 deaths U.K. researchers have documented the first drug to show life-saving promise for severely ill Covid-19 patients, in an unexpected sign of hope amid the rebounding pandemic. Dexamethasone, a cheap and widely available steroid used to reduce inflammation, cut the risk of death by 35% in patients on ventilators and by 20% in those receiving oxygen, a University of Oxford trial found. British PM Boris Johnson said the drug was the "biggest breakthrough yet" in the fight against Covid-19, and Dr. Anthony Fauci called it "a significant improvement in the available therapeutic options that we have." The benefit of dexamethasone was only seen in seriously ill Covid-19 patients and wasn't observed in those with milder cases, the WHO said Tuesday. While caution is still warranted, it's a promising step toward finding other drugs that could work on top of it, such as Gilead's antiviral remdesivir, which has only been proven to shorten patients' recovery. A generic form of dexamethasone has been available for decades and costs around $6. The U.K. Department of Health said it had stockpiled more than 200,000 courses of the drug after spotting its potential. $ignificant figures 80,109. Florida's Covid-19 cases reached a new high, rising by 3.6% Tuesday, and Texas recorded an 8.3% surge in hospitalizations, adding to signs that the outbreak is worsening in some states. 20. India says that many of its soldiers were killed after a seven-week military standoff with China escalated into a "violent" clash along their contested Himalayan border for the first time in more than four decades. 106. Authorities in Beijing ordered all schools closed to stem a new outbreak of that many coronavirus cases and said people must be tested for the virus before they're allowed to leave the city. Highly quotable "Radical and dangerous efforts." Trump signed an executive order aimed at curbing police brutality following nationwide protests, but he made clear he "strongly opposes" movements to defund the police. "Tragically ruined with a terrific explosion." North Korea blew up a liaison office it shares with South Korea, a symbol of rapprochement after a series of 2018 summits, in an explosive rebuke to Seoul. "Without prepublication review." The DOJ filed a lawsuit to delay the publication of John Bolton's White House memoir, "The Room Where It Happens," claiming he breached "legal obligations" and "NDAs." This is not normal Social damage. Fewer face-to-face encounters in the pandemic may cut into teens' brain growth and cause mental health problems, researchers said, urging officials to think of adolescents' needs when lifting lockdowns.  The future is now Contactless fast food. A KFC restaurant in Moscow is experimenting with no-touch service using robots, conveyor belts, automated drink filling, and facial recognition, so the customer is the first to handle their food.  What's good One less worry. 1.3 million U.K. children will be eligible for free meals this summer after Manchester United star Marcus Rashford successfully pushed Boris Johnson to extend a voucher policy for low-income families.
