WEATHERING THE COVID SURGE

Tens of millions in China headed to their rural hometowns for Lunar New Year celebrations Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023 though President Xi Jinping said he was 'concerned' about the countryside's ability to weather a Covid surge. China's transport authorities have predicted that more than two billion trips will be made this month into February in one of the world's largest mass movements of people. But the exodus from big cities hit hard by Covid is widely expected to cause a spike in cases in under-resourced rural areas.

A surge in Cuban and Nicaraguan arrivals at the US border with Mexico in December has led to the highest number of illegal border crossings recorded during any month of Joe Biden’s presidency, authorities said Friday, Jan. 20, 2023 (January 21 in Manila). The extraordinary influx came shortly before Biden introduced measures on January 5 to deter Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.
