• As we were looking through photos we’d taken on the street in Greenport over Memorial Day Weekend, it was clear that something was up. In nearly every frame, the masked peoples’ eyes can be seen staring directly into the camera. The looks seemed to be expressions of violation and concern, almost as if they’d been captured in a compromising position. They were haunting. Read this month’s editorial, About the Mask.

• Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone reported an increase of 275 cases of Covid-19 in the county in the past 24 hours, but said that more than 200 of those cases were ones from May that had just been reported to the county by the state, putting the daily new case total in line with what has been seen in recent weeks. In the prior 24 hours, 247 people were in the hospital with the disease, a decrease of six, while there was no change in the number of people in ICU beds, which is 67. Thirteen people had been discharged from the hospital in the past 24 hours and three had died, bringing the county’s death toll to 1,909.
