The Trump administration is reportedly considering labelling a number of leading international humanitarian organisations as antisemitic after they documented Israeli rights abuses against Palestinians, including settlement building in the occupied territories.

The groups include the UK-based Amnesty International and Oxfam as well as the US organisation Human Rights Watch. Amnesty International accused the Trump administration, and the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, of attempting “to silence and intimidate international human rights organisations”.

The CDC are now issuing advice that asymptomatic spread is happening when people are spending any length of time together without masks.

The COVID-19 pandemic is responsible for increasing deaths globally. Most estimates have focused on numbers of deaths, with little direct quantification of years of life lost through COVID-19. As most people dying with COVID-19 are older with underlying long-term conditions, some have speculated that years of life lost are low.

Deaths from COVID-19 represent a substantial burden in terms of per-person years of life lost, more than a decade, even after adjusting for the typical number and type of long-term conditions found in people dying of COVID-19.

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues
And you know it don't come easy
You don't have to shout or leap about
You can even play them easy
---
I don't ask for much, I only want your trust
And you know it don't come easy
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time
And you know it don't come easy
