There is a strong sentiment among Democrats supportive of former President Barack Obama that the 46th president should go further than his old boss on the issue. During his eight years in office, Obama commuted only two federal death sentences.

Japan Wants to Throw COVID-19 Patients in Jail If They Refuse to Go to the Hospital
We should expect that Japan’s government will blame the new surge on the variant of COVID-19 first found in England, and perhaps even make up the data to prove it.

2 in 5 Americans live where COVID-19 strains hospital ICUs
Hospitals say they are upholding high standards for patient care, but experts say surges compromise many normal medical practices. Overwhelmed hospitals might be forced to mobilize makeshift ICUs and staff them with personnel without any experience in critical care. They might run out of sedatives, antibiotics, IVs or other supplies they rely on to keep patients calm and comfortable while on ventilators. … [Read more...] about 2 in 5 Americans live where COVID-19 strains hospital ICUs
