Is China's Coronavirus Recovery 'Fake'?
*The Week:* *China's coronavirus recovery is 'all fake,' whistleblowers and residents claim* China's claims of how it's handling coronavirus recovery should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. Even before COVID-19 became a global crisis, Chinese leaders had been criticized for their handling of the situation and lack of transparency about the disease's progression. Things now look like they're on the upswing, and businesses even appear to be headed back to work — but whistleblowers and local officials tell Caixan that's just a carefully crafted ruse.

*Everyone got Super Tuesday wrong. The three biggest surprises:* 1. The expectation was for a long, drawn-out primary with many candidates.

Attention Parents: An Expert Explains Why Food Shouldn't Be Used to Punish Your Kids
*Stephanie Meyers* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Here's why. At one time or another, just about every parent uses food to reward their kids for good behavior and achievements – or to console them when they’re sad or disappointed. When children make honor roll, win a big game or persevere through a struggle, a parent might express their pride and joy with candy or ice cream. Likewise, when kids feel down and out, pick-me-ups can take the form of a treat. The reasons for this are simple: Using food as an incentive might get results, and salty, sweet or sugary foods are ... more »

Is This the End of the Open Skies Treaty?

Doing so would constitute another mistake by an administration that increasingly seems set against arms control.

It was hardly a surprise, therefore, that the CPC has been willing to mortgage the health of its citizens during this coronavirus debacle for the preserv... more »
Coronavirus: How Past Experience With Epidemics Is Shaping Muslim Pilgrimages
*Ken Chitwood* *Politics, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Here's how.

Millions of Muslims visit the Saudi kingdom around the year for pilgrimage. The current travel restrictions prevent the entry of both overseas pilgrims and Saudi citizens into the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. This has had a direct impact on the umrah pilgrimage, known as the “lesser pilgrimage,” that can be performed at almost any time of the year. Whether... more »
