  Geneva • The World Health Organization chief warned Monday that “the worst is yet ahead of us” in the coronavirus outbreak, reviving the alarm just as many countries ease restrictive measures aimed at reducing its spread.WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus didn’t specify why he believes the outbreak that has infected some 2.5 million people and killed over 166,000 could get worse. He and others, however, have previously pointed to the likely future spread of th

  20-04-2020 23:00
  
  People have gathered across the nation to protest shelter-in-place orders. They claim their right to assemble has been violated and their freedom is being taken away. I disagree.COVID-19 is a global threat that is more contagious and more deadly than any virus in recent history. When we ignore shelter-in-place orders and refuse social distancing guidelines, we put the most vulnerable at risk. We have never had the freedom to harm others. We have never had the freedom to do as we please without r

Prices for other oil contracts also plummeted as storage facilities for crude approach their limits. The S&P 500 fell 1.8%, giving up some of the big gains from its first back-to-bac

  Is it possible to speak of new life in an Easter season marred by ongoing death? The question feels new as we reckon with the novel coronavirus, but it is not.Christian communities have always affirmed faith in resurrection despite enduring loss and bereavement. For communities on the margins, especially those subjected to oppression and enslavement, faith in resurrection has never been a Pollyannaish refusal of suffering and death.
