YouGov polled U.S. adults to find the negative or positive comments circulating around the popular beer and indicated the results using a “buzz score.” At the beginning of January, Corona beer had a high “buzz score” of 75.

Person years and person months are types of measurement that take into account both the number of people in the study and the amount of time each person spends in the study. For example, a study that follows 1,000 people for one year would contain 1,000 person years of data. A study that follows 100 people for 10 years would also contain 1,000 person years of data. The same amount of data would be collected, but it would be collected on fewer people being studied for a longer follow-up period....

Estuardo Rodriguez, a co-founder of The Raben Group public affairs firm, told Newsweek that the resurfaced video went to the “root of why there may be a lack of interest” in Buttigieg among black and latino voters, and said the mayor of South Bend, Indiana would “do well to interview this 2011 Pete and dissect the bias and white privilege he so clearly demonstrated.” But the strategist and founder of a campaign pushing for the creation of a Latino Museum also gave Buttigieg some benefit of the doubt, saying he was “sure that his views may have evolved” since the historic interview....

Buttigieg confirmed that the Transportation Security Administration still requires wearing a mask on all commercial flights, even if you are fully vaccinated. Buttigieg told host Martha Raddatz, “Some of the differences have to do with the physical space, some of them have to do with it being a workplace wherein some of these transit and travel situations, people don’t have a choice.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on May 13 that, if fully vaccinated, people do not need to wear masks indoors unless businesses ask otherwise....
