At over 1.7 million coronavirus cases as of May 30th, 2020, most of the country has started to reopen the economy after a multi-month long lockdown. It is important to note that it is almost impossible for everything to just go back to its old self within a few months, but the economy does appear to be taking the first steps of a lengthy road to recovery.

In light of recent events, it’s hard to believe in the world outside. Stuck at home, the string of fires set across our nation in protest break our hearts for all of the people they may impact. It’s hard to remember that 100,000 people have died from COVID-19, and the threat is far from over, when we see images of people gathered in the streets to speak their minds. However, the fact of the matter is the novel coronavirus will likely not subside for months, if not years, and we need to begin to adapt to a life in the midst of a pandemic. The key to this initiative is testing, and it is likely you will have to take some form of the test in the near future, even if you aren’t feeling sick.

On April 19th, Israelis protested what they saw as a corrupt government using drastic measures to contain the coronavirus.

After nearly three weeks of speculation on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s whereabouts, he finally reappeared on Saturday May 2nd. In his absence, several rumours and theories flew around regarding Kim’s health. Many even thought him to be in critical condition, or even dead. Others believed he was self-isolating to avoid the coronavirus (although North Korean reports state their country to be virus free.) Kim has disappeared before and for longer periods of time. In September 2014, he went missing for 40 days. When he reappeared with a cane, South Korean intelligence reported that he probably had an ankle operation, though North Korean media did not explain where he had been.
