Los Angeles residents are fuming after the Public Health Director recommended on Tuesday that the county should extend the stay-at-home order until August, which would potentially leave thousands if not millions unemployed.

In terms of population, Los Angeles is the largest county in the United States with more than 10.1 million people calling it home. In a county Board of Supervisors meeting, Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer stated her belief that the LA county’s stay-at-home order would likely be extended into the next couple of months unless there is a “dramatic change to the virus and tools at hand.”

Facing a rising level of backlash, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has reversed his March 25 directive which ordered nursing homes to accept coronavirus-positive patients from hospitals.

On Sunday May 10, Gov. Cuomo issued a new announcement that hospitals can no longer release coronavirus patients to nursing homes unless the patient first tests negative for the virus, indicating that they have recovered. This is a reversal from the original March 25 order which said nursing homes were “prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident… to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.”

This past Sunday, the New York Times printed a long editorial by a religion writer on a movement among young people toward what she described as “Weird Christianity.” It’s not quite what you would expect from their pages. It didn’t belittle Christians or characterize them as unsophisticated rubes. Quite different. It explains the rise of more traditional and orthodox faith practices within Christianity among young adults. In fact, it praised this development.
