Paragraph: Washington state's largest metropolis sweated through its hottest June on record, going fortnights without even a drizzle. Seattleites jokingly refer to the month of "Juneuary" for the wet and cold they usually endure before longer, dryer sunny days arrive in July, typically persisting into September. This summer, however, they have shrugged off the rain gear and flannel and taken to drinking "iced" lattes. Many, including Mayor Ed Murray, find themselves oddly yearning for the cloud cover on which Rain City's identity was forged. Murray said the heat has kept him up at night in his brick Tudor-style house, which he has nicknamed the "little Dutch oven." "Obviously people in Seattle love a little more sun but also nothing is built for it," Murray said. "I miss my rain." With an estimated 662,400 residents, the Emerald City, as the city is nicknamed, lies between the brackish Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains which squeeze moisture out of east-bound fronts moving over the city. It is so dry in the state that a wildfire is burning in a rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula and Governor Jay Inslee issued a statewide drought emergency in May as the snowpack in the mountains fell to historic lows. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport received just 0.23 inches (0.58 cm) of rain for June, down from the normal 1.57 inches (3.98 cm). To be sure, drought conditions are affecting cities down the U.S. West Coast, which is embroiled in a particularly fierce wildfire season that has prompted water-use and burn restrictions. Seattle's public utility downgraded the water supply outlook from "good" to "fair" on Wednesday amid higher-than-usual water consumption and record-low stream flows into reservoirs, urging residents to limit plant-watering. Murray said the city had enough water and energy this year but was being pushed to the limit. "A second year with such little snowpack would be a crisis," he said, referring to the affect on the broader region's cold, clear salmon rivers and bountiful farms and orchards. While the current situation is "mega extreme in terms of our temperatures," it is unlikely that it is caused by human-induced global warming because the heat-wave is due to an unusual large-scale air pattern, University of Washington atmospheric sciences professor Clifford Mass said. Relief is forecast heading into the weekend, with a chance of rain on Sunday and cooler temperatures in the week ahead, Mass said. But overall the summer will be warmer than normal as Seattle enters it driest period of the year. Meanwhile, parched lawns have turned beige and the city opened cooling shelters. At local hardware stores, air conditioning units and fans have been flying off the shelves; one Lowes store sold 16 air-conditioning units in a matter of minutes after it opened. "This is Sicily in Seattle, with nearly 16 hours of daylight," Seattle-born author Timothy Egan wrote in the New York Times on July 3. Some people have embraced the dry skies and sun. "Everybody is a bit nicer. People say 'Hi' to each other. It's not the hanging their head when they walk by each other," said Nicole Sullivan, a management consultant who has used the heat as an opportunity to take her paddle board on Shilshole Bay on balmy evenings. "How do we re-market ourselves if we are not 'Rain City' or the 'Emerald City,'?" Mayor Murray deadpanned. "If we're not green anymore, what's going to be our new color?" Claim: Residents in soggy Seattle rebel against the sun.
Seattle's mayor is losing sleep over the unusually hot, dry weather that is causing a run on air conditioners and fans in the famously rainy city.

Paragraph: The significant costs of both drugs were mentioned. Nice job. Good job describing the benefits reported in the two drug studies. The two papers present a bewildering array of statistics. This story did a nice job distilling the information into a couple of very understandable sentences. Good job explaining signifcant potential harms of both drugs something competitors didn't do at all. Nice job, including linking (in the online version) to the papers in the New England Journal of Medicine. No disease-mongering of melanoma. Several independent sources cited. The story adequately explained the comparisons between both new drugs and the older dacarbazine chemo drug. Vemurafenib was described as experimental and as "expected to be approved by the FDA within a few months." Ipilimumab was explained to be approved in March and already on the market. The relative novelty of both drugs was well explained. It's clear that the story did not rely on a news release. Claim: Drugs Show Promise Slowing Advanced Melanoma
The story made strong, clear attempts to report in a restrained manner, using terms/phrases such as: "notable progress" "do not cure" "might add two to several moths to expected lifespans" "To be sure, more than half of patients with metastatic melanoma would not be helped all that much by either drug." Stories about cancer perhaps especially melanoma because of its treatment challenges should balance promise with realistic context. This story did a better job of that than the competitors' efforts we reviewed.

Paragraph: "The best thing the tobacco industry can do to fight COVID-19 is to immediately stop producing, marketing and selling tobacco," Gan Quan, a public health specialist and a director at the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, said in a statement. The group, which links international respiratory and lung specialists, officials and health agencies, said it is "deeply concerned" about COVID-19's impact on the world's 1.3 billion smokers, in particular those in poorer countries whose health systems are already overburdened. Smoking is known to weaken the immune system, making it less able to respond effectively to infections. Smokers may also already have lung disease or reduced lung capacity which would greatly increase the risk of serious illness. Quan said governments around the world had a "moral imperative" to advise smokers to stop. "This is the absolute best time to quit smoking," Quan said. The Union's statement cited emerging evidence from preliminary studies of COVID-19 patients in China and elsewhere that suggest smokers infected with the new coronavirus become more severely ill and suffer more serious complications such as breathing difficulties. It said a study of more than 1,000 COVID-19 patients published in the New England Journal of Medicinein February found that smokers - both past and present - fared poorly, with smokers comprising more than 25% of those that needed mechanical ventilation, admission to an intensive care unit, or who died. The World Health Organization and the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention have also warned that smoking can expose people to serious complications from COVID-19. Claim: Experts urge smokers and tobacco firms to quit for COVID-19.
Health experts on Monday urged smokers to quit and cigarette companies to stop producing and selling tobacco products to help reduce the risks from COVID-19.
