| Christians around the world observed a Good Friday like no other, at home watching livestreams instead of at church, as pressure mounted on governments to restart some industries and fend off further economic devastation from the coronavirus. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson needs time to recover from the new coronavirus and is unlikely to be back at work soon. Yemen’s internationally recognized government has announced the first confirmed case of coronavirus in the war-torn country, stoking fears that an outbreak could devastate an already crippled health care system. New York state is getting help from Google to overhaul a decades-old unemployment benefits system that has left laid-off workers frustrated and awaiting help. The coronavirus has infected so many doctors, nurses and other health workers that some are now returning from their sick beds and heading back to the front lines. Still others are questioning whether they signed up to be heroes. People who must continue working during the coronavirus pandemic are performing a quiet calculus each day as they try to stay safe while commuting. |
