Being ostracized: Virus leaves its mark for UK's elderly

LONDON (AP) — From resounding applause to ostracization and isolation. That's essentially the journey Lt. Cmdr. Robert Embleton, who served 34 years in Britain's Royal Navy, took by ambulance when discharged from Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, southwestern England, on April 8 following his near-month sickness with COVID-19. Arriving at his retirement home, he immediately went into self-isolation with his wife of 55 years, Jean, who has shown no symptoms of the virus. Soon after, Embleton realized he was carrying some new baggage — the stigma of the virus. He even considered buying a bell to warn of his presence. “I was regarded as a sort of leper, a plague carrier. Some people when they...

In Flynn Case, Barr Again Takes Aim at Mueller Inquiry

Attorney General William Barr in the White House in Washington, March, 10, 2020. (Doug Mills/The New York Times) WASHINGTON — Shortly after admitting guilt to a federal judge in December 2017 for lying to the FBI, Michael Flynn issued a statement saying what he did was wrong, and “through my faith in God, I am working to set things right.” It turns out that the only higher power that Flynn needed was Attorney General William Barr. Barr’s extraordinary decision to drop the criminal case against Flynn shocked legal experts, won President Donald Trump’s praise and prompted a career prosecutor to quit the case. It was the latest in Barr’s steady effort to undo the results of the investigation by...

Fact check: Trump is not credible on virus death tolls

WASHINGTON — Truth can be a casualty when President Donald Trump talks about deaths from the coronavirus in the United States. He’s claimed that the United States is on par with Germany in keeping down COVID-19 deaths, which is not the case in mortality reports. He’s brushed off projections that deaths in his country will double from earlier forecasts, misrepresenting how the numbers were calculated. These distortions emerged over the past week alongside his relentless bragging about the U.S. testing system, which failed in the crucial early weeks and remains globally subpar. Pushing to get the country back to normal, Trump also suggested that children are safe from the coronavirus. ignoring...

Coronavirus has created a rift between the US and China that may take a generation ...

The novel coronavirus has destroyed lives and livelihoods in both the United States and China. But instead of bonding the two nations together to fight the pandemic, it has sent their already strained relations on a rapid downward spiral — and fanned the flames of a potentially dangerous strain of nationalism. China has been criticized at home and abroad over its handling of the virus, especially during the initial outbreak. Pushing back such criticism with increasingly fierce rhetoric, Beijing says it is merely “responding” to false accusations, particularly from the US. In March, as the pandemic raged across the globe, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian...
