Good morning.
We see the latest news about President Trump’s remedy for coronavirus, an arrogant British attitude toward restrictions, and the West’s inability to introduce a successful tactile investigation.
Despite positive tests from his doctors on President Trump’s illness, some major medical points, such as fluctuating oxygen levels and resolving to start remediating with a steroid, have warned many infectious disease experts that he suffers from a more severe case of Covid. -19 that doctors have recognized.
The steroid dexamethasone, for example, which the president’s medical team said was prescribed on Saturday, is sometimes reserved for others with serious ailments because it has not been shown to gain benefits for others with a milder bureaucracy of the disease and would possibly even be risky. Others have warned that the president would possibly be directing his own care and an intense and not easy remedy despite the dangers he might not fully understand.
“Suddenly they throw him into the kitchen sink, ” said a doctor. “This raises the question: are you sicker than we hear, or are you too competitive because he is the president, in a way that can be potentially harmful?”
Timeline: Key occasions of the president’s illness, based on his tweets, press conferences, White House statements, and New York Times reports.
Opinion: The public doesn’t want to know all the main points about the president’s status, but he doesn’t deserve to be deceived, the Times editorial board writes.
Joe Biden: The former vice president again tested negative for the coronavirus and has publicly followed protection guidelines, but has kept his fitness protocols largely secret.
Here are our updates and maps of the pandemic.
In virus developments:
Pope Francis criticized global cooperation in reaction to the pandemic and argued that weakened fitness systems had claimed the lives of the elderly, in a document published sunday.
The mayor of New York City is asking the state for permission to close businesses and schools in nine neighborhoods in the city where tests show a positivity rate of 3% or more.
Saudi Arabia began on Sunday to lift restrictions on coronaviruses at Islam’s holiest site in Mecca, as an organization of the faithful made omra pilgrimage for the first time since March.
France reported on 17,000 new ones on Saturday, as an increase in infections forced the closure of bars and restaurants in the southern port of Marseille.
Coronavirus cases in Britain are developing rapidly, with a record 12871 new cases reported On Saturday night, but as our correspondent Peter Goodman writes, you can believe a little on the streets of London, where the mask hangs under your chin, bettors gather in pubs. and cafes, and regulations on disguise or social estinement are ignored.
Beyond the apparent reasons why this arrogant behavior is disconcerting, it has reinforced the widely shared feeling that Britain, known for following regulations, is now operating under adult supervision. Public confidence has plummeted, with more than a portion of those responding to a recent survey reporting that the government failed to manage the pandemic, up from 39% in May.
The existing crisis is compounded by an emanation of the very distinctive characteristic celebrated in Britain’s traditional ancient narrative: an admirable refusal to bow. A national mantra, “Stay calm and move on,” turns out to have been reconfigured in the concept that something isn’t wrong.
Analysis: “The government wants to intervene and be very transparent in its message,” said one commentator. “People would respond to messages if they were transparent. From now on, it’s all up to the individual to make those decisions. “
Sanda Dia, an ambitious black student at a prestigious Belgian university, saw a fraternity as the gateway to another life, despite her notoriously cruel hazing ritual. Brightly colored fish standing outdoors in an ice-filled trench, Dia died in December 2018 of an organic fault. His death was regarded as a tragic accident, an example of hazing that went wrong.
But since then a more worrying history of racism and intolerance has emerged: eighteen members of the now dissolved reinstatement fraternity, Reuzegom, are under investigation, and prosecutors recommend fees for murder, degrading remedy and negligence.
The details, recently discovered in a series of local reports, have forced the region to confront the rise of racism and xenophobia on campuses, against a wider backamid in the region, where a nationalist motion is openly racist and anti-immigrant. and grow in power.
Quote: “They thought, “He’s just a black guy, ” said Sanda’s father, Ousmane Dia. “We are tough and nothing can with us. “
At the time of the pandemic, many Asian countries, in addition to Taiwan and South Korea, built physically powerful legal frameworks and tracking systems to restrict civil liberties in an epidemic, including using the knowledge of cell phones and credit cards to identify potentially exposed people.
But despite repeated votes across Western countries to expand their own testing and traceability operations, their governments have largely not, destroying any hope of express measures that replace locks and undermining already declining confidence.

Super Mario Bros. , arguably Nintendo’s most iconic video game, debuted at most exactly 35 years ago, catapulting a high-rise plumber named Mario to a global celebrity. We have accumulated 35 pieces to take into account the plumber that exceeds its capacity. .
1. First, it’s the game that’s 35 years old, not Mario. He has 39. Mario made his debut in 1981 in Nintendo’s outstanding game Donkey Kong, in which he mounts a series of beams, jumps barrels and climbs stairs to rescue a woman kidnapped through a giant monkey.
In the early years of video games, the characters were explained less through who they were than through what they could do. Pac-Man swallowed the problems and chased, or chased, the ghosts. Sonic was running fast. Mario was discouraged. In fact, before the creators of Donkey Kong called him Mario, they called him “Jumpman”.
3. Mario is so well known that even his brother, Luigi, that you can play in Super Mario Bros. in two-player mode, she’s a superstar. Luigi has more personality; He is a nervously concerned and a stranger in the shadow of his well-known brother. Nintendo announced 2013 as Luigi’s year.
4. No know what Mario’s last call is. Nintendo officials sometimes called him Mario (hence Mario and Luigi were the Mario Bros), who would make him Mario Mario. Other times they said I didn’t have one.
5. La Mario’s intelligence remains uncontainable. These days, Mario and Grand Theft Auto can be very popular among all aspects.
