Georgia Celebrates Juneteenth Amid Pandemic, Calls For Justice Juneteenth feels particularly resonant this year amid widespread, nationwide protests over police brutality. Pandemic Panic In Pakistan: 'People Are Just Literally Fighting For Beds"Last week, Zain Tafneesh's family drove from hospital to hospital trying to find a bed for her 86-year-old grandfather. He had COVID-19 and was struggling to breathe. "We were helpless, we were begging," Tafneesh says. "Imagine that old man was in the car crying for oxygen, and the hospitals were showing no mercy." Finally, Tafneesh's uncle called a powerful friend in the army, who got her grandfather into a public hospital near the Pakistani capital Islamabad. Tafneesh said that hospital had initially turned him away, claiming they had no space. The bed provided had likely been reserved for health workers who contract the virus. "People are just literally fighting for beds," says Dr. Samar Fakhar, a resident surgeon at the government-run Khyber Teaching Hospital, in the northern Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The current surge of COVID-19 cases – which came after the government lifted its weeks-long lockdown at the end of May — is roiling the country.

The video fakes a CNN segment that depicts a white toddler running after a black child of similar age, scoring the images with screechy, scary string music. Beside CNN's reproduced logo, a false, misspelled chyron declares "TERRIFIED TODLER RUNS FROM RACIST BABY." Then, it reads: "RACIST BABY PROBABLY A TRUMP VOTER." The video then rewinds and plays more of the footage, showing a viral video from last year in which the two toddlers run toward each other and embrace, after introducing the new scene as "what really happened." "America is not the problem. Fake news is," says the video that fakes CNN footage. The newsJune 19, 2020 Our Daily Breather: Music For Staying Sane During The PandemicOur Daily Breather was a daily series where we asked writers and artists to recommend one thing that's helping them get through the days of isolation during the coronavirus pandemic, which concluded on June 12, 2020. Here, we've collected some of the music recommendations that artists have shared with us throughout the series. Angelica Garcia Finds Sanctuary In Ranchera Music Caitlyn Krone / Courtesy of the artist Who: Angelica Garcia Where: Long Beach, Calif. Recommendation: Ranchera music Angelica Garcia shared her thoughts on the music of her ancestors: "So much of the classic ranchera music comes from a generation of writers who dealt with crisis regularly. They lived through episodes of famine or the anxiety of waiting for a loved one to return home from war. On top of it all, the world was so much less connected than it is now — sometimes the news of a change of fate arriving in a small letter. This is why I feel ranchera music is so on the nose. It says absolutely everything itJune 19, 2020 Peter Singer: How Can Effective Altruism Help Us Do The Most Good During A Pandemic?Part 3 of the TED Radio Hour episode The Greater Good?
