KEVIN McGILL and MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Ten years after an oil rig explosion killed 11 workers and unleashed an environmental nightmare in the Gulf of Mexico, companies are drilling into deeper and deeper waters, where the payoffs can be huge but the risks are greater than ever.

GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press President Donald Trump, in a roller-coaster week of reversals and contradictions, told governors to "call your own shots" on lifting stay-at-home orders once the coronavirus threat subsides. But then he took to Twitter to push some to reopen their economies quickly and tell them it was their job to ramp up testing. "This is mayhem," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday. "We need a coordinated approach between the federal government and the states." In the absence of one, Cuomo and sixteen...

The state has been sued over all three during its shutdown as government officials pick winners and losers in deciding which businesses and activities can operate and which can't. But in an interview with The Associated Press on Th...

MICHAEL KUNZELMAN Associated Press The video lasts just 13 seconds and shows nothing more than the view from a car quietly driving past a hospital entrance.

That video and dozens of others like it have been spreading on social media through the #FilmYourHospital hashtag.

It means that roughly one in seven workers have lost their jobs in that time. The grim figures point to an economy that is tumbling into what appears to...
