Many coronavirus cases in the United States can be traced back to a Biogen conference that took place in Boston last February, but just how many?
It's likely that the one conference alone resulted in 20,000 coronavirus cases, according to a report cited by NBC Boston. If so, that means that one event was also responsible for many deaths in the country.
The state government is planning to spend $2 million on an ad campaign designed to encourage Massachusetts residents to shop at locally owned businesses.
Businesses in Massachusetts have taken a hit since the coronavirus shutdowns. Some businesses were shut down for months during the height of the restrictions, and many are still not fully operational. Unemployment in July stood at 16.1 percent, the highest in the nation.
