Covid-19 Pandemic
 Here’s the latest news: Hong Kong cites virus in ban of annual Tiananmen vigilMerkel seeks as much as 100 billion euros in another stimulusFrance says pandemic recession will be deeper than expected Protest and the virus The coronavirus is making the experience of protest, and the impact of it, more isolated. Those who are taking to the streets now are doing so in a country where people who aren’t directly involved in demonstrations are more likely to stay home and get their view of what’s happening from their computer or television. They’re more likely to stay out of cities. And they’re less likely to see what’s happening outside the small, narrow communities the outbreak has pushed people into. Strikes, civil disobedience and demonstrations can bring uncomfortable inconvenience — and awareness — to the lives of those who otherwise can afford to ignore it because of where they live or work. The outbreak undermines the necessary discomfort of social awareness and change. The people who will be most affected by the demonstrations in U.S. cities are the ones who likely least need help understanding what they’re about. They’re also the ones most likely to pay the price if the gatherings cause a second wave of outbreaks. The pandemic has already split the U.S. in many ways, disproportionately affecting people of color, poorer people, and those who live in cities. It’s a social divider at a time when social solidarity is needed more than ever.—Drew Armstrong Listen up Latest Podcast: Dogs Hunt for the Virus Jason Gale reports dogs may have untapped powers to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
