下午1:40:迈阿密海滩市长给州长写了一封措辞严厉的信，抨击州接触追踪计划
迈阿密海滩市长丹·盖尔伯周一给佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯写了一封措辞严厉的信，抨击了该州的联系人追踪计划。
盖尔伯在信中称，该州在迈阿密戴德县的接触者追踪项目“没有准备好应对这一流行病的挑战”，并敦促德桑蒂斯“立即采取行动，扩大其能力，提高其竞争力。”
盖尔伯说，当迈阿密戴德县在5月重新开放经济时，佛罗里达州的“接触者追踪计划未能完全遏制随后的疾病激增”，导致“病毒不受约束的增长”，根据美国广播公司新闻获得的信。

盖尔伯写道:“我很欣赏这种流行病揭示了我们作为一个国家和民族如何组织起来应对传染病灾难的许多断层线。”例如，当地市长和委员会正被赋予强制实施解决这场危机所需的强心剂的任务(停业、宵禁、面具订单)。然而，具有讽刺意味的是，当地的市政当局或我们的县缺乏任何健康部门作为县卫生官员实际上只向你和州卫生局局长报告。虽然我们县的卫生部工作人员都是勤奋的公务员，但他们经常告诉我，他们不能给我直接的建议，或者在回答问题之前，他们需要和塔拉哈西的某个人“核实一下”。"
他补充说，“很明显，他们(卫生部工作人员)对于向他们不报告的地方领导人提供坦率的自我评估，以弥补他们的接触追踪工作和人员配备的不足，是很谨慎的，这是可以理解的。”

上午12:56:参加“高风险”活动并感染冠状病毒的美国国家橄榄球联盟球员面临团队纪律，缺乏报酬
根据联盟的新协议，通过远离团队设施的“高风险”活动感染冠状病毒的NFL球员可能面临团队纪律，并可能面临没有报酬的风险。
档案——在2019年7月29日星期一的档案照片中，达拉斯牛仔队在美国国家橄榄球联盟足球队在加利福尼亚州奥克斯纳德的训练营进行训练。美国国家橄榄球联盟已经通知各队，他们的训练营将按时开放。联盟执行官特洛伊·文森特在2020年7月18日(周六)给总经理和主教练发了一份备忘录，通知他们新秀将在周二报到，四分卫和受伤球员将在周四报到，所有其他球员将在7月28日到达。
美国国家橄榄球联盟本周末发给经纪人的一份备忘录(副本由ESPN获得)概述了管理球员合同、选择退出条款以及取消赛季的合同后果的几条规则。
备忘录称，周五联盟和球员之间协议的最终语言将出现在一封仍在谈判中的附信中，本周末发布的信息代表了“COVID修正案主要方面的总结。”基本的问题已经解决了，备忘录的最后一部分致力于这样一个事实，即在冠状病毒仍然存在的情况下，玩家将对他们在公共场所的传播方式负责。
几周前，在与美国国家橄榄球联盟领导的电话会议上，球员们被告知，如果他们被发现因在球场外鲁莽活动而感染了COVID-19，他们将面临纪律处分，包括罚款。本周末的备忘录强调了这一点，并说这样的活动可以让一个团队质疑COVID-19诊断为足球损伤的状态。
如果这样的挑战成功了，大概球队可以将这名球员列入非足球伤病名单，这样球队就可以选择不给他钱。
备忘录还指出:“如果俱乐部/国家橄榄球联盟能够证明球员是通过从事以下高风险行为而感染了COVID-19，就可以对认定为与足球相关的伤害提出质疑。”(此问题仍未解决。)”
洛杉矶公羊队的队员安德鲁惠特沃思上周在一次电话会议上说:“球员们在大楼外必须小心。”他透露说，他和他的家人在其中一人与朋友共进午餐后感染了这种病毒。"只要一次暴露，它就会像野火一样蔓延开来."
Coronavirus updates: Kentucky to close bars, St. Louis imposes curfew
The novel coronavirus pandemic has now killed more than 650,000 people worldwide.
Over 16.3 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their nations' outbreaks.
The United States has become the worst-affected country, with more than 4.2 million diagnosed cases and at least 147,791 deaths.
7:40 p.m.: Pfizer chooses lead vaccine candidate for Phase 2/3 global trial
Pfizer and German partner BioNTech are ready to start a combined Phase 2/3 global trial of one of their coronavirus vaccine candidates, the companies announced Monday.
The vaccine, one of four candidates in development, had undergone safety testing in Phase 1. The combined Phase 2/3 trial will enroll up to 30,000 participants between the ages of 18 and 85 at about 120 clinical sites around the world, including in 39 states in the U.S. One of the first sites will be at the University of Rochester in New York state.
Participants will be screened and dosed in the next few days.
Pfizer is seeking regulatory review for its coronavirus vaccine candidate as early as October 2020 and aims to manufacture up to 100 million doses by the end of 2020 and up to 1.3 billion doses by the end of 2021.
Last week, the U.S. government announced a$1.95 billion dealto gain access to at least 100 million doses of a Pfizer vaccine if it proves to be safe and effective.
On Monday, Moderna Therapeutics announced it would become the first U.S. company to enter Phase 3 of a clinical trial for a potential coronavirus vaccine.
6:15 p.m.: Police bust 700-person house party at New Jersey Airbnb
A weekend party at an Airbnb in Ocean County, New Jersey, allegedly drew upwards of 700 people, in violation of the state's executive order on gatherings during the pandemic, police said.
The Jackson Police Department responded to a residence at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday following the report of a suspicious incident, officials said. According to police, the homeowner rented the house on Airbnb for a "large party."
After discovering over 700 people with more than 100 cars parked in the area, officers started to clear the party and shut down roads into the neighborhood to prevent more people from arriving, officials said. Jackson police officers were able to clear the neighborhood of party attendees and cars by 1 a.m. with the assistance of the several neighboring police departments and New Jersey State Police, officials said.
Both the homeowner and the renters were issued summonses for violating the executive order limiting indoor gatherings to 100 people due to coronavirus concerns, police said.
Airbnb said it has deactivated the listing as the company investigates the incident, and it has removed the two alleged party organizers from the platform.
"We strongly condemn the reported behavior, which represents both a clear violation of Airbnb’s community policies and a particularly serious abuse during this public health crisis," Airbnb said in a statement.

1:40 p.m.: Miami Beach mayor writes scathing letter to governor blasting state contact tracing program
Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber on Monday wrote a scathing letter to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, blasting the state's contact tracing program.
Gelber's letter called the state's contact tracing program in Miami-Dade County "unprepared to meet the challenges of this pandemic" and urged DeSantis "to take immediate action to expand its capacity and improve its competencies."
Gelber said when Miami-Dade County reopened its economy in May, Florida's "contact tracing program fully failed to cabin subsequent disease surges," leading to "unconstrained growth of the virus," according to the letter obtained by ABC News.
Florida is now the state with the second-highest number of cases. California has the highest and New York has the third highest.
"If we don’t have a capable and fully resourced program in place, I don’t see how we can even contemplate opening schools or other aspects of our economy. In fact, if we continue at this level of infection, I don’t know how we don’t return to sheltering in place," Gelber wrote.
Gelber wrote, "I appreciate that this pandemic has revealed many of the fault-lines of how we are organized as a state and nation to address a contagion disaster. For instance, local mayors and commissions are being tasked with imposing the tough medicine needed to address this crisis (business closings, curfews, mask orders). Yet, ironically, the local municipalities or our County lack anyhealthdepartment as the County health officials actually only report to you and the State Surgeon General. Although the DOH staff in our County are diligent public servants, I am regularly advised by them that they can’t give me direct advice, or that they need to 'check' with someone in Tallahassee before answering a question."
He added, "it is evident that they [DOH staff] are understandably wary of providing candid self-assessments of the shortcoming of their contact tracing efforts and staffing to local leaders to whom they don’t report."
12:18 p.m.: Critical care chief at Baltimore hospital dies from COVID-19

Dr. Costa "was beloved by his patients and their family members—known for his warm and comforting bedside manner as well as his direct and informative communication style," the statement added. "When he counseled our patients and families, he did so with great compassion and empathy. For all the nurses and staff who worked closely with Joe on the Intensive Care Unit, he was like an older brother that all admired and revered."

12:56 a.m.: NFL players who attend 'high-risk' events and contract coronavirus face team discipline, lack of pay
NFL players who contract the coronavirus through "high-risk" activity away from team facilities can face team discipline and might be at risk of not being paid, according to the league's new protocol.
A memo sent by the NFLPA to agents this weekend, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN, outlines several rules governing player contracts, opt-out provisions and the contractual consequences of a canceled season.
The memo says that the final language of Friday's agreement between the league and the players will appear in a side letter that is still being negotiated and that the information distributed this weekend represents "a summary of major aspects of the COVID amendments." The basics have been dealt with, and the final section of the memo is devoted to the fact that players will be held responsible for the way they circulate in public while the coronavirus remains present.
Players were told weeks ago on a conference call with NFLPA leadership that they could face discipline, including fines, for conduct detrimental to the team if they are found to have contracted COVID-19 through reckless activity away from the facility. This weekend's memo reinforces that and says that such activity could allow a team to challenge the status of a COVID-19 diagnosis as a football injury.
If such a challenge were to succeed, presumably the team could place the player on the non-football injury list, a move that would allow the team the option of not paying him.
The memo also states: "Clubs/NFL can challenge designation as a football related injury if it can prove that the player contracted COVID-19 through engaging in high risk conduct below. (This issue remains open.)"
"Players are going to have to be careful outside the building," Los Angeles Rams tackle Andrew Whitworth said last week on a conference call after disclosing that he and his entire family got the virus after one of them went to lunch with a friend. "All it takes is one exposure, and it can spread like wildfire."
