the WHO worked to raise awareness of the problem today. It’s still unclear what proportion of infected people go on to have mid- to long-term health problems, Tedros noted. But, it's clear that "this is not just a virus that kills people." And with more than 45 million cases globally—and counting—even a small percentage will mean a large number of people will have long-term disability.

It's also clear that long-term symptoms and complications strike a wide range of COVID-19 patients. Long-term effects have shown up in people with mild disease as well as severe disease. Young adults, the elderly, women, men, even children have reported struggling with the disease for extended periods of time....

George Will plans to break the habit of a lifetime for the 2020 election.

The longtime conservative commentator said Monday he’ll cast his vote for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in order to help defeat President Donald Trump at the ballot box.

It will likely be the first time that he has ever voted for a Democrat, Will told USA Today’s Susan Page during a conversation for The Aspen Institute.

“I’m a big believer in parties, in party strength and party tickets. Not this year,” said Will, who quit the GOP in June 2016 in protest of Trump’s then-imminent nomination as the Republican presidential candidate.

Ms Harper was only 14 years old when she became a Christian, and not allowed to vote yet. But in 1984, she tried to convince her mum to vote for the Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan.

"There was no way she was going to do that," Ms Harper said.

"She was part of the civil rights movement, and she understood something I really did not understand then — the religious right actually came to be as a counter movement to the gains of people of colour."
How would Jesus vote?

Ms Harper is voting for Democrats up and down the ticket in the 2020 US election, starting with Biden-Harris.

"I am a black evangelical, and that makes all the difference," she said.

"The way that I vote is not ruled by white men; it's ruled by Jesus, who was a brown, colonised, Indigenous man."....

Guam may be more than 12,000 kilometres away from the White House, but on the eve of the US election, eyes will be trained on this tiny Pacific island.

Key points:

• Guam has predicted the correct US presidential winner eight out of 10 elections
• It is a US territory, and its voters are ineligible to participate in the presidential election
• Guam is also one of the United States' COVID-19 hotspots

Its people will vote in a non-binding straw poll, widely seen as an accurate indicator for who will become the next president of the United States.

2 Corinthians 12:20-21

20.

I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced. ---

Mike, abortion may be rated as a secondary goal of any government. The first goal is to have a functioning democracy, as a gentleman above points out in his article.

So having abortions banned, drinking banned, smoking a various substances banned. Can be described as a secondary goal of government or not even a goal of government at all ❗👎
