Good evening. Here’s the latest.
1. The total number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. is quickly approaching 1,000. Twenty-nine people have died.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York announced a one-mile “containment area” around part of New Rochelle, a small city just north of New York City that is emerging as the center of the state’s outbreak. It’s the first American city under restricted orders.
On the West Coast, after the deaths of 18 residents at a nursing home near Seattle, above, industry leaders made the unprecedented move to recommend strict limits on social visits at nursing homes and assisted living centers across the country.
And a growing list of universities and colleges decided to suspend in-person classes, including Harvard and Ohio State. Some students were being sent home for the remainder of the semester.
Wall Street rebounded as investors looked to Washington to bolster the economy. The S&P 500 finished the day up nearly 5 percent. President Trump plans to meet with officials from the nation’s banks at the White House on Wednesday afternoon.
2. Around the world, public events — from St. Patrick’s Day parades to major festivals and movie premieres — are being canceled or modified as organizers fear spreading the coronavirus. Austin, Texas, above, won’t be hosting South by Southwest, because city officials canceled it last week.
For those working from home: Our Tech columnist Kevin Roose makes the argument that home-cooked lunches and no commuting can’t compensate for what’s lost in creativity.
And for those hoping to get away, here is advice from travel experts on how to navigate the changing landscape.
Looking for ways to strengthen your immune system? There’s no magic pill, but there are ways to give your immune system the best chance to do its job.
3. Super Tuesday, part deux.
Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are competing fiercely over Democratic voters in Michigan, where 125 delegates are on the line. Washington State, Missouri, above, Mississippi, Idaho and North Dakota are also up for grabs. Mr. Biden has become the presidential race’s delegate leader, but Mr. Sanders is still within striking distance.
Mr. Biden and Mr. Sanders both called off rallies planned for tonight in Ohio — the first major campaign events canceled because of the coronavirus.
Here’s what to expect, and what the latest polls are showing. The first results are expected at 8 p.m. Eastern.
And, American intelligence officials say that the Russian government has stepped up efforts to inflame racial tensions in the U.S. as part of its bid to influence November’s presidential election.
4. Russia’s parliament passed a proposal that could keep President Vladimir Putin in power until 2036.
The legislation, which would allow Mr. Putin, 67, to run for a fifth term as president, still needs approval by the Constitutional Court and in a nationwide referendum in April. But in Russia’s tightly controlled political system, all signs point to Mr. Putin preparing to stay in the Kremlin for, perhaps, the rest of his life.
Separately, secret grand jury evidence from Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference can be shown to House lawmakers, an appeals court ruled. The Trump administration is likely to appeal.
5. Greece is detaining migrants at a secret site, then expelling them to Turkey without due process. The harsh steps may violate international law.
Several migrants said in interviews that they had been captured, stripped of their belongings, beaten and expelled from Greece without being given a chance to claim asylum or speak to a lawyer, in an illegal process known as refoulement.
The extrajudicial center where they are being kept is one of several tactics the country is using to prevent a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis.
6. What would your last meal on death row be?
Jay Rayner, a longtime British food critic, has been asked the question countless times. Eventually inspired to write a book about his dream final menu, he first investigated what prisoners have requested just before execution.
Mr. Rayner found that of the 50 countries with the death penalty, the U.S. is the only one with robust research on the culinary choices of the condemned. Academics have found, for example, that 70 percent of prisoners requested fried foods, with the average meal clocking in at 2,756 calories.
A photographer recreated 12 inmates’ final meals, including Ted Bundy’s steak and eggs.
7. The UConn women’s basketball team has found themselves in a familiar position, with a chance to win a 12th national championship. Above, Olivia Nelson-Ododa after winning the A.A.C. on Monday.
But success in the N.C.A.A. tournament is no longer such a sure bet. They’ve lost by double-digits to the country’s three best teams — South Carolina, Oregon and Baylor — and the team has lacked its usual depth.
For UConn’s longtime coach, Geno Auriemma, the dynasty is anything but over.
We’re keeping an eye on how the coronavirus may affect the upcoming tournaments. So far, the Ivy League canceled its men’s and women’s basketball competitions, automatically advancing the Yale men and the Princeton women to the N.C.A.A. tournaments.
8. Two new, very different Netflix shows have created buzz among viewers.
One of our Culture editors, Maira Garcia, writes that “Gentefied,” a comedy-drama that explores gentrification in a Latino enclave of Los Angeles, succeeds for its relatable portrayal of serious issues and characters’ personal challenges. As a Mexican-American, she found tensions “that a lot of first-generation Latinos, like myself, feel.”
At the other end of the spectrum, the reality show “Love Is Blind” has hooked watchers not only for its absurd laughs, but also for the sincere emotions that break through despite the show’s pomp and circumstance, says Aisha Harris, an Op-Ed writer and editor.
9. Toor Dal, keema, roti, aloo masala, matar kachori.
Our California restaurant critic, Tejal Rao, was born in London to East African and Indian parents before immigrating to the U.S. as a teenager. Growing up, her connections to these cultures were maintained in her family’s kitchen.
After reading dozens of Indian cookbooks, and interviewing a number of home cooks outside of her family, she selected 10 essential recipes that celebrate the breadth of Indian home cooking.
10. And finally, escape to simpler times with cottagecore.
“Take modern escapist fantasies like tiny homes, voluntary simplicity, forest bathing and screen-free childhoods, then place them inside a delicate, moss-filled terrarium, and the result will look a lot like cottagecore,” says Isabel Slone, who wrote about the budding online movement, where scenes of idyllic pastoral life meet ideas of rural self-sufficiency.
Followers, mainly young women, consider the aesthetic lifestyle a form of self-care. They’ve created a universe on Instagram and TikTok in which men are an afterthought, optimism wins and a slow life is revered.
Have a peaceful evening.
