Refugees Are at Increased Risk of Coronavirus

Dorien Braam, Petra Molnar at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Dorien Braam, Petra Molnar* *Coronavirus, World* Poverty and inequality both influence the occurrence and severity of the disease. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, wars and conflicts have not stopped. While some countries have successfully grappled with the virus, in refugee camps the situation remains fraught. Researching the social epidemiology of zoonotic disease risks in displacement and international human rights law, we have seen firsthand the intersection between health and human rights. Susceptibility to zoonoses — diseases transmitted between animals and humans — is i... more »

What Would Happen If All Cars Were Electric?

George Milev, Amin Al-Habaibeh at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*George Milev, Amin Al-Habaibeh* *Energy, Europe* This study found that if the UK’s cars went entirely electric, its total carbon emissions would be cut by almost 12%. The COVID-19 lockdown has led to reduced pollution and emissions in the UK and around the world, providing a clear indication of how cars affect air quality and carbon emissions. But such a change is only temporary – millions of petrol cars are waiting for restrictions to ease. Then, higher levels of emissions will resume. But what if they didn’t? What if all cars switched to electric overnight? We recently publis... more »

Why The Navy's Medium Aircraft Carriers Never Set Sail

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Like most things, it had to do with costs. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Medium Aircraft Carrier would have just two steam catapults instead of the four that were on larger carriers, meaning it could launch planes at just half the rate of larger carriers. It would have just two elevators instead of three. Although it had fewer planes, it deleted fleet air defense and antisubmarine warfare aircraft from the mix to concentrate on striking power, giving nearly as much as a supercarrier. The United States Navy’s ten nuclear supercarriers are th... more »

Yaacov Ayish at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Yaacov Ayish* *Security, Middle East* It is in America’s interest to ensure that the balance of power on emerging technologies remains in its favor—and allies like Israel can make the difference. Tensions between the United States and China continue to escalate amid the coronavirus crisis and show no signs of abating. One long-standing rivalry surrounds the race to control emerging technologies that will shape the future. To improve its position, America should intensify collaboration with allies who are technology trailblazers, like Israel. Establishing a permanent forum to ov... more »

Coronavirus Question: Is Europe Close to Herd Immunity?

Jeremy Rossman at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Jeremy Rossman* *Coronavirus, Europe* Herd immunity requires the infection – or a vaccine, which we don’t have yet – to generate a lasting immune response that protects against reinfection. While no country claims to be pursuing herd immunity as a strategy, some – such as Sweden – have taken a more relaxed approach to containing the coronavirus. So how has the relaxed approach fared for Sweden – is it close to achieving herd immunity? How does it compare with other European countries that took more restrictive measures? Herd immunity is the idea that if a certain portion of the... more »

"This Is A Full Societal Breakdown"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 22 hours ago
*"This Is A Full Societal Breakdown"* by MN Gordon This week’s standard refrain was one of pessimism. The quick return to economic health mantra that was popular not long ago has disappeared faster than you can say lickety-split. But there was one notable outlier this week. In fact, one leading economist stepped forward with assurances that renewed prosperity lays just ahead. On Wednesday, Nobel prize economist Paul Krugman looked up from his liquidity trap graphs long enough to tell Noah Smith at Bloomberg that the 1979-82 economic slump “would suggest fast recovery once the virus... more »

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 22 hours ago
This is interesting from Channel 4's former doorstepper-in-chief Michael Crick: [Richard] Sambrook was asked by the board of Channel 4 to do a similar inquiry into bias on C4 News, though it was all a bit rushed. His report - kept secret - concluded there wasn’t enough diversity in the backgrounds and outlooks of people on the programmes, especially senior staff. Among Sambrook’s recommendations was that the programme make a “senior counter cultural appointment” - either a top presenter or editor - to balance “the uniformity of editorial attitude and approach in the [C4News] new... more »

*Key Education Recommendations for Reopening the K-12 Classroom* Homeroom has taken on a literal meaning over the past two months. Parents, while always their children’s first and foremost educators, have had to fully embrace homeschooling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. And although that has been working great for many families – some 40% now say they’re more likely to continue homeschooling even when schools reopen – for others, it is either not the right fit for their child or doesn’t work with their job requirements. Many families rely on that custodial function of the ph... more »
