Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.

The Australian state of New South Wales on Saturday reports the largest daily increase in infections this year. There are 50 new cases in the country’s most populous state. Prime Minister Gladys Berejiklian warns the population against further increases in infection rates with the highly contagious delta variant.
“I would like to note that of these 50 cases, the vast majority are close family members or friends of infected people. People get infected with the virus and then spread it to those closest to them. If you really love your parents, siblings, best friends, please follow the rules.”
In total, there are around 500 cases where people have become infected with the Delta variant, despite the Greater Sydney area being in lockdown for two weeks
