‘Too many Americans are acting as if this fight is over. It is not.’ Biden warns that progress in the fight against COVID can still be reversed if people do not do their part. People would be wise to take heed‘Following nearly three months of declines, U.S. coronavirus cases are beginning to rebound once again. The country is reporting a weekly average of 61,821 new Covid-19 cases per day, a 12% increase compared with a week ago’
Millions of Americans return to air travel as vaccines and spring break fever kick in. No wonder we are seeing COVID on the rise again. Every time there’s been a lull in new infections and hospitalizations, these restless herd animals just have to get back out there - no masks on, breathing all over one another, and spreading the virus anew. And of course, once the numbers start surging again, these same people then turn around and blame the president or some other convenient scapegoat. Or just deny reality altogether. The pandemic may eventually end - once there are enough people vaccinated, and if the vaccines prove to offer more than temporary immunity - but willful stupidity, selfishness, and malevolence will always be with us

COVID-19 infections once again surging in India, prompting the country of 1.4 billion to severely curtail the number of vaccines it had been exporting to dozens of other nations
‘More than 40% of adults in the United States experienced symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorders at some point between August 2020 and the end of January’
Neurological issues plaguing those who had mild COVID-19 symptoms, months after being infected
At one time, charges such as these against the GOP would be considered gross hyperbole at best, and outright defamatory at worst. But, Republicans in recent years have decided to become every single stereotype the other side has about them, so we’ll call this for what it is - 21st century Jim Crow: Georgia’s repulsive new election law is Exhibit A in the GOP’s war on voting rights
No way is this legislation going to survive. If the courts don’t overturn it, corporate pressure will: Coca-Cola and other companies based in Georgia facing boycotts after the state passes law restricting voting rights

Consistency of narrative has never been their strong suit, but has always been beside the point for these people: Some QAnon adherents now want us to believe ‘Q’ was only something the boogeyman media - not they themselves - made up to smear them
Death toll from last month’s winter storm disaster in Texas is revised upward
‘Day of terror’ in the former Burma, as the ruling military junta slaughters dozens of civilians, including children: With the events of the past few years and tensions in this country running hot, it is apparent most Americans of today - left and right - would have no moral qualms seeing people on the other side being shot by a politicized military dedicated only to carrying out their ideological crusades. We’re not as enlightened as we believe ourselves to be, and the only thing stopping us from becoming Myanmar is a noble military that stays out of politics and adheres to the rule of law. If the U.S. Armed Forces didn’t stand in the way of corrupt politicians - especially, at this moment, the nationalist GOP - and a malevolent citizenry, this would be us
‘Across Syria, the pandemic has compounded the worst economic crisis since the conflict began in 2011. The local currency has crashed and food prices have soared — increasing by 222% from last year. Nine out of 10 people live below the poverty line and in northwest Syria, close to three-quarters of the 4.3 million residents are food insecure’
