The Global Struggle to Control the Coronavirus

Amy Davidson Sorkin The New Yorker
Defeating COVID-19 has to be a joint project, as if the whole planet were racing to get to the moon together. Every nation can contribute, including those whose voices are less often heard. And no one can be left behind.

The Numbers are Staggering: US is `World Leader' in Child Poverty (in "Developed" Countries)

Paul Buchheit; Max Fisher
The callousness of America's political and business leaders is shocking. A new report from UNICEF, on the well-being of children in 35 developed nations, turned up some alarming statistics about child poverty. More than one in five American children fall below a relative poverty line. The United States ranks 34th of the 35 countries surveyed, above only Romania and below virtually all of Europe plus Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. (The Washington Post)
