UMA Energy, the company that since June 1 has been responsible for operating and maintaining the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s (PREPA) transmission and distribution system, blamed PREPA on Monday for a drop in energy generation that will last until Thursday and will result in power outages.

“When demand exceeds generation, available power supplies are distributed throughout the system by reducing load, which means disconnecting parts of the network in sequence to relieve pressure on the fragile power grid and ensure a stable supply throughout the system,” LUMA Energy said in a statement Monday.

PREPA confirmed that due to failures in several of the units in the power plants, a generation limitation is expected for the next few days.

At the Costa Sur Power Plant, Unit 6 was turned off on Aug. 20 due to a mechanical failure. The unit generates about 410 megawatts (MW) and is currently under repair.

Unit 1 of the Aguirre Power Plant suffered an electrical failure in one of the motors of the boiler feed pump on Aug. 29, and the technical staff is working to repair it. Aguirre’s Unit 2, meanwhile, has been in maintenance since the end of July. Unit 2 generates 450 MW and work is being accelerated in order to bring it into service in the coming days.

Unit 9 of the San Juan Power Plant had a fault in a fan and had decreased its production from 100 MW to 50 MW. Central technical personnel are working on that situation.

The Palo Seco Power Plant, Unit 3, which went into service Sunday, is operating with limited generation and the staff continues to work to achieve stability.

“It has been a tough few days and PREPA personnel continue to work to bring these units into service with their maximum capacity in the coming days,” PREPA said. “The team continues to focus on completing maintenance work as quickly as possible.”

Peak demand, which generally occurs in the late afternoon and early morning, is estimated to exceed the available generation until Thursday and rotating outages are to be expected during peak demand hours, LUMA Energy said.

“When it becomes necessary to carry out a load reduction, LUMA will publish updates through its social media channels to keep customers informed about

the affected areas and the expected service restoration times,” the LUMA statement read.

Meanwhile, the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau has scheduled a hearing on Sept. 23 to determine the requirements and impact of electric vehicle chargers on the bankrupt PREPA. Tomás Torres, the consumer representative to PREPA’s governing board, said the chargers should have a positive impact on PREPA’s finances because they will increase demand for power.

The move comes because of federal legislation that will help push the use of electric vehicles. The current $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill is proposing $7.5 billion in electric vehicle charging funding, a number that is expected to go up if amendments to that effect are accepted.

LUMA Energy, the island’s energy transmission and distribution system operator, says problems at power plants are causing a drop in energy generation that will last until Thursday and will result in power outages.

Ex-PREPA workers said in limbo because their new agencies can’t absorb them

By THE STAR STAFF

F

ormer Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) workers who were transferred to other agencies remain in a limbo, in part because some agencies do not have the money or equipment to absorb them, according to testimony at a hearing in the island House of Representatives on Monday.

The HouseTreasury and Budget Committee, chaired by Rep. Jesús Santa Rodríguez, held a public hearing on the working conditions experienced by former PREPA workers who were transferred to other agencies after LUMA Energy took over the operations of the transmission and distribution system on June 1.

The workers left for other agencies to avoid losing benefits, including accumulated pensions. But their fate is still uncertain.

Officials from the Office of Administration and Transformation of Human Resources (OATRH by its Spanish initials), the Department of Transportation and Public Works, the Public Buildings Authority (AEP), the Department of Health and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) appeared at the hearing. After three months, PREPA’s employee mobilization plan has been widely questioned by affected personnel and receiving agencies. One of the main concerns that public corporations that have received former PREPA employees have expressed

is their limited budgetary capacity for the added payroll.

In the public inquiry, the executive director of OMB, Juan Carlos Blanco Urrutia, reported that he still does not have the “incremental amount” to pay for the payroll corresponding to the mobility plan.

“Let it be known that this uncertainty in the budget is occurring despite the fact that this House of Representatives allocated a total of almost $90 million in the current budget with the objective of supporting this mobility process, a process that we have questioned since day one, stating that it was going to have an overwhelming effect on the staff of specialized employees who have served our country,” said Popular Democratic Party Rep. Luis Raúl Torres Cruz.

Blanco Urrutia stressed that the budget approved by the Legislature to ensure the payment of the payroll of the mobilized employees is in a reserve fund.

“It has not been used, because so far, we have managed to meet the payments through agency budgets,” he said.

AEP head Luis D. García Fraga said meanwhile that the OMB has told the agency that the money that will pay for the employees will be obtained.

“However, as of today we have no news or information on the funds or if they will be recurrent,” he said.

García Fraga also reported in a written presentation that at present, the AEP does not

have the equipment, means of transportation, space or operational structure to absorb the workers.

Before the new workers were transferred to the AEP, the entity had a staff of 971 unionized and managerial employees. After the process of moving people from PREPA, the AEP staff increased to 1,569 employees.

“Enabling the Authority to operate with this number of employees represents an additional estimated cost for this fiscal year of $62.5 million,” García Fraga said. “Employees transferred to the AEP represent an increase of approximately 62 percent. For mobility to be viable in operational terms, an investment in equipment, work tools and the renewal of the vehicle fleet is required.”

García Fraga insisted that he has employees without assigned functions due to the lack of safety equipment.

“If it does not have an allocation of funds from the OMB, [the AEP] will not be in a position to maintain the staff of PREPA employees,” he said.

House Speaker Rafael Hernández Montañez said his greatest concern is that the budgets of the agencies, which were already in a critical state, are being used to pay the payroll of employees who have come from PREPA. “The money that should be used to fix our schools and address infrastructure problems is in the payroll of mobilized employees,” he said. “The House of Representatives assigned

Rep. Jesús Santa Rodríguez a budget to guarantee that payment without the need to affect the coffers of the agencies.

The $90 million that was allocated in the budget must be used for the objectives that were legislated.”

For her part, OATRH Director Zahira A. Maldonado Molina said her agency has not handled the files of the PREPA employees transferred to other agencies.

“Our intervention has been to communicate to the employees to which agency they will move, and we have also notified the corporations about which employees should report to their dependency.”

“The information on the files of the personnel who were mobilized is held by the Electric Power Authority,” she added. “We have never had access to those documents.”

House forum to address transparency in gov’t affairs

By PEDRO CORREA HENRY Twitter: @pete_r_correa Special to The Star

P

opular Democratic Party (PDP) Rep. Jesús Manuel Ortiz announced Monday that the Legislature will hold a two-day multi-sectoral conference that seeks to address transparency in government affairs as the legislative branch is being challenged by several organizations to make information of public interest available to citizens.

Ortiz, who chairs the Government Committee in the House of Representatives, said in a press release that the event will allow legislators to seek input from people who are knowledgeable on the matter “in a different scenario than that of a traditional public hearing.”

The PDP lawmaker also said the event follows up what was learned during the first public hearing on House Resolution 199, a bill penned by Ortiz and Citizens Victory Movement Rep. José Bernardo Márquez that investigates

the implementation of the Open Data Act. “Several organizations such as Datos Abiertos, the Center for Investigative Journalism, the Puerto Rico Journalists Association and Abre Puerto Rico, which will join this discussion, made a series of points that, in their opinion, the proper implementation of the law is not allowed, and in other cases, they pointed out the procedural problems for achieving the law’s ends,” Ortiz said.

The event, to be held from Wednesday to Friday at Leopoldo Figueroa Hall in the Capitol District, will include the participation of Justice Secretary Domingo Emanuelli, Puerto Rico Innovation and Technology Services Executive Director Enrique Volckers Nin, Institute of Statistics director Orville Disdier and Courts Administration office chief Sigfrido Steidel, among other organizations and journalistic guilds.

Ortiz added that the dialogue will be carried out in a format whereby participants will be divided into several working groups within which the topics will be discussed in a participatory and integrated manner.

“We want to promote an integrated and solution-oriented multi-sector dialogue,” he said. “For this reason, each table will have a government official, a journalistic entity, a legal expert, and a participatory, governance or transparency organization.”

“This meeting will enrich the discussion and offer different points of view and experiences on the subject under discussion, which will undoubtedly result in the presentation of real solutions to the main problems of the law’s functionality,” he added.

Among the topics to be discussed at the forum are the application of the Open Data Law in government branches, the entities responsible for providing access to information of public interest, exceptions to the Open Data Law, the definition of a public document, recourse in case of refusal and the procedure for requesting information.

After discussing those issues, the lawmaker expects to present legislation in order to improve the laws governing public access to information.

‘We are on the right track, but there was no choice’ Governor orders restricted business hours, curb on alcohol consumption to reduce COVID infection risk

By PEDRO CORREA HENRY Twitter: @pete_r_correa Special to The Star

I

n order to reverse the increase in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Puerto Rico, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia announced a new executive order on Monday that includes an alcohol ban and additional temporary restrictions on private and commercial activity that will go into effect Thursday.

Under Executive Order 2021-065, Pierluisi instructed that private and commercial, professional, non-professional establishments that attend to visitors directly and must close operations from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. until Sept.

23.

“This applies to concerts, too,” he said.

“Event coordinators must be aware that these activities must come to an end before midnight.”

Likewise, the governor again called on islanders to get their COVID-19 shots while reminding the public that in July the Department of Health established a mask mandate for indoor establishments regardless of vaccination status.

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi “To vaccinate is an act of civil responsibility, of respecting your neighbor, and everyone should push for a Puerto Rico where we act for the common good above everything else,” he said. “We are on the right track, but there was no choice.”

Meanwhile, private establishments such as manufacturing and distribution companies, construction sites, farming businesses and commercial entities are exempt from the limitations on hours of operation in the executive order.

Aside from the new decree requiring citizens to wear face coverings indoors,

residents are also ordered to mask up at outdoor establishments in crowds with 50 people or more.

The new guidelines announced by Pierluisi also prohibit elective surgeries, according to medical criteria, that require the use of post-operative intensive care units.

For his part, Health Secretary Carlos Mellado López expressed confidence that the measures to be implemented soon will contribute to slowing down COVID-19 cases, which have been on the rise since early July.

“It is time for all of us to unite and work as a team for Puerto Rico. We have lost too much, and we are not willing to continue losing more lives to this terrible virus,” he said.

“We want our population well and healthy.

We all want to return to the freedoms of the past, but we have a long way to go. As long as there are unvaccinated people, we will leave room for the variants to continue to evolve and become more aggressive; hence the importance and the call for everyone to get vaccinated.”

“We cannot spoil the great work we have done,” Mellado López added. “Citizens and private businesses joined with the government to work toward the same goal, to put an end to this pandemic. Because of all the efforts, today we have 81.4 percent of the able population with at least one dose and 70 percent with both doses. We will not rest. Our goal

remains the same, to protect the public and keep them safe.”

When The STAR asked why the government has not chosen to limit occupation capacity at mass events given that vaccinated people could spread the virus -- some epidemiologists have called for restrictions on capacity to lower infection risk in light of the delta variant -- the governor said his determination came after being advised by the Puerto Rico Scientific Coalition and he will remain vigilant.

Incoming changes to COVID-19 school protocol During the press conference, Mellado López announced that the Health Department was going to release an order to amend the COVID-19 protocol and clarify how to manage confirmed coronavirus cases inside K-12 schools.

He said the order would include sending vaccinated people who had contact with a person with COVID-19 into quarantine for five days until they obtain a negative coronavirus test.

Meanwhile, Pierluisi said the order seeks to facilitate how infections and outbreaks will be detected.

The STAR requested that information from Health Department Chief of Staff Lisdián Acevedo, but at press time had not received a response.

FEMA offering assistance for funeral expenses related to COVID-19

By THE STAR STAFF

W

ith the recent increase of families in Puerto Rico that have had funeral expenses related to the coronavirus, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) urges them to apply for COVID-19 Funeral Assistance.

FEMA seeks to ease some of the financial stress that the pandemic has caused throughout island communities, the agency said in a press release.

“To date, more than 1,145 families have applied for FEMA

COVID-19 Funeral Assistance in Puerto Rico and we have approved over $2.1 million to help them cope with these expenses. However, the Government of Puerto Rico reports more than 2,800 deceased due to the coronavirus. We are reaching out to those that yet need to apply for this help,” said Idamis de Jesús, the individual assistance leader with the FEMA Caribbean Area Office in Puerto Rico. “If you or someone you know, had funeral expenses related to COVID-19, we are asking you to call FEMA to apply for assistance right away. We are only accepting applications via phone call.”

To apply for FEMA COVID-19 Funeral Assistance, call 844-684-6333 (TTY: 800-462-7585) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EDT, Monday through Friday. Multilingual services are available.

After the initial call, FEMA will send the applicant a request for information, or RFI, which outlines all the documentation needed to process the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance application. For further information, applicants can also visit the frequently asked questions section in FEMA’s website at: FEMA.gov/funeral-assistance/faq.

FEMA is providing financial assistance for COVID19-related funeral expenses incurred after Jan. 20, 2020, under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental

Governor declares ecological emergency over loss of coral

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

F

aced with the spread of the disease causing tissue loss that is afflicting hard coral on Puerto Rico’s coasts, which represents a direct threat to the environment and the economy of the island, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia declared an ecological emergency on Monday and ordered the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) to take the necessary measures to check the spread of the disease.

“We have to put this situation in the context of the natural disasters we have had, the economic crisis and the pandemic,” the governor said in a press conference. “All of this has prevented an adequate response to mitigate the rapidly spreading stony coral tissue loss disease. It should be noted that corals are essential to our marine life and guarantee an ecosystem for fish and other species that support our food security.”

He noted that during his years as resident commissioner he established a project to protect corals from bleaching and

secured funds from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to support the actions of the DNER and environmental organizations on the island.

In Executive Order 2021-66, Pierluisi said, he authorized the Disbursement Supervision Committee, created last year, to assign $1 million to the DNER from the $10 million in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act that was provided for conservation and natural resource initiatives.

The governor announced other measures in favor of the environment such as an agreement for the conservation of the ecosystems of the island’s coast and the allocation of another $1 million in federal funds for the DNER, in conjunction with environmental non-profit entities, to take action on the planting and maintenance of trees.

“Corals represent a necessary protection to minimize the vulnerability of our coastal areas, which have been so affected by climate change and hurricanes,” the governor said. “Also, our coral reefs are an integral part of our tourist attraction, which has economic development implications.

As you can see, there are many implications from the loss

of our corals, so taking action is necessary.”

Pierluisi also thanked University of Puerto Rico marine biologist and microbiologist Dr. Edwin Hernández Delgado for his recommendations and collaboration.

Legislature passes bill to return Tourism Co. to autonomous status

iven the need to promote the tourism sector through the Puerto Rico Tourism Co., a bill passed in the island House of Representatives that would reestablish the company as an autonomous entity now awaits the signature of Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia, the measure’s co-author announced on Monday.

Rep. José Rivera Madera urged the governor to sign the legislation aimed at strengthening and refocusing the public entity that had been dismantled by the previous administration.

The measure, which would return the Tourism Co. to its status as a public corporation, would also establish the general functions of the entity, along with the powers and responsibilities

of its executive director which, among his or her missions, would be the administration of personnel, plans, projects and budgets.

“I trust that the governor will do the right thing, and return the tourism company to its status as an autonomous fiscal administrative entity that will direct its efforts toward intensifying tourism, a vital area of economic development for the Puerto Rico to which we aspire,” Rivera Madera said. “The signing of this bill is of transcendental importance for the country.”

Data provided by the legislator, who chairs the House Tourism Committee, shows that economic activity in the tourism sector represents 6.5 percent of the island’s gross domestic income and about 80,000 jobs, “even though we know that it is not fully developed to its capacity and there is much more to do,” Rivera Madera said.

House committee OKs measure to attract foreign students to PR universities

By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

T

he Government Committee of the island House of Representatives approved on Monday without amendment in a final consideration hearing, or markup session, House Bill 395, which would create the “Campus Puerto Rico Program Law,” attached to the Department of State.

The legislation authored by Government Committee Chairman Jesús Manuel Ortiz González and Reps. Héctor Ferrer Santiago and Ramón Luis Cruz Burgos establishes the public policy of promoting Puerto Rico as a destination

for postsecondary academic studies. It defines the duties of the secretary of State under the program and arranges for reporting to both the executive and legislative branches.

“International students have preferred the United States as an academic destination. However, the United States is unaware that Puerto Rico is one of the jurisdictions with the same quality standards and with much lower costs than the American jurisdiction,” Ortiz González said. “The public policy referred to in the bill seeks to promote Puerto Rico through ‘Campus Puerto Rico’ to new international relations with the academic sector.”

“With this initiative, we elevate the program to the rank of law and establish as public policy promoting Puerto Rico as a postsecondary academic destination,” he added.

The initiative will also serve as an additional tool to the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), strengthening the UPR, as a place for the economic development of the island and its young people first, the legislator continued.

“For all the above and with the purpose of promoting Puerto Rico as an academic destination, it is essential to develop our foreign relations well and widely, and promote new sources of income,” Ortiz González said.

The bill, which was approved with 12 votes

in favor and two abstentions, and now goes to the consideration of the full House in the next legislative session.

Officials in Louisiana survey wreckage left by Hurricane Ida

By JESÚS JIMÉNEZ, DERRICK BRYSON TAYLOR and CAMPBELL ROBERTSON

A

s people across southeastern Louisiana slowly began to take in the scale of damage from Hurricane Ida on Monday, a day-after accounting severely hindered by widespread power outages and limited phone service, search and rescue teams fanned out to respond to calls for help that had gone unanswered.

In Jefferson Parish, where there have been reports of people climbing into their attics to escape rising waters, the authorities had received at least 200 rescue calls since Sunday and crews were anxious to get to those who may still need their help, said Cynthia Lee Sheng, president of Jefferson Parish.

New Orleans remained without electricity. All eight transmission lines that deliver power to the city were knocked out of service by Ida, which made landfall late Sunday morning near Port Fourchon with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. By early Monday morning, the hurricane had weakened to a tropical storm as it moved inland.

Entergy, a major power company in Louisiana, said on Twitter on Monday that it would “likely take days to determine the extent of damage to our power grid and far longer to restore electrical transmission to the region.”

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell urged residents who had evacuated not to return to the city anytime soon, given the outages and other challenges it is facing in the aftermath of the storm. “Now is not the time for re-entry into the city of New Orleans,” she said at a news conference on Monday afternoon, later adding: “Again, if you evacuated, stay where you are. We will notify you when it is safe to go home.”

Dozens of streets in New Orleans were flooded with runoff from the storm’s heavy rains, according to the National Weather Service, which advised people to remain sheltered in place. But the system of levees, barriers and pumps that protect New Orleans appeared to have held firm against the onslaught of Hurricane Ida, officials said, passing the most dramatic test since being expanded and hardened after Hurricane Katrina.

Lee Sheng said in an interview that Jefferson Parish officials had not yet been able to make contact with residents of Grand Isle, a narrow beachy islet of homes on stilts facing the Gulf of Mexico, near where the storm came ashore. Though

People walk through a flooded section of Wheel Estates Mobile Home Park in LaPlace, La., on Monday, Aug. 30, 2021. many residents evacuated before the storm, she estimated that about 40 people had remained behind.

“We lost contact with them yesterday,” she said.

Several small towns in the southern half of the parish, outside the giant storm protection system encircling New Orleans and some of its suburbs, were inundated, she said. The levees surrounding the towns had overtopped, she said, sending several hundred people who were there riding out the storm into attics and onto roofs.

“The further south you go, you are having very high water,” Lee Sheng said, adding that search and rescue teams went out at first light on Monday morning.

The northern end of the parish fared much better in terms of structural damage, but was facing what she called “a breakdown of systems.” No one in the parish had electricity. she said; phone communication was impossible in many areas; and broken water mains were draining the parish of its usable water. “Other than search and rescue today, that is the critical issue,” she said.

More than 240,000 people in the parish were affected by water outages, according to figures from the state department of health, and officials there, as with those in New Orleans, urged people who had left before the storm not to return immediately.

People venturing out on Monday in the hardest-hit parts of the state found smashed buildings in Houma, mangled infrastructure in Bridge City and streets still submerged in Laplace, the first hints at the regionwide fallout from a night of destruction.

Laplace, a town of quiet subdivisions where many evacuees from New Orleans had decided to settle down after Katrina, was still badly flooded in areas, and desperate calls had gone out over social media all night for boat rescues.

Small communities that had slowly built back from hurricanes past were flooded again as local levees overtopped.

At least one local sheriff’s office in Louisiana took note that evacuees were anxious to return home to begin cleanup efforts, but warned, “Today is not that day.”

Officials in St. Tammany Parish put the matter more bluntly, advising residents not to go sightseeing.

As Ida moved through the state, the storm caused “catastrophic transmission damage” to the electrical system, leaving over 1 million utility customers without power.

The center of the storm crossed into western Mississippi on Monday, slowing and weakening as it sweeps northward. Its path is expected to curve northeastward through the day and evening, and then into the Tennessee Valley on Tuesday.

At least one death has been attributed to the storm. A man in Prairieville, Louisiana, about 30 miles southeast of Baton Rouge, died after a tree fell on a house, according to the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office.

US hospitalizations at level not seen since winter peak

By DAN LEVIN

T

he daily average for hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the United States is now more than 100,000. That average, calculated over the past seven days, is higher than in any previous surge except last winter’s, before most Americans were eligible to get vaccinated.

The influx of patients is straining hospitals and pushing health care workers to the brink as deaths have risen to an average of more than 1,000 a day for the first time since March.

Hospitalizations nationwide have increased by nearly 500% in the past two months, particularly across Southern states, where intensive care unit beds are filling up, a crisis fueled by some of the country’s lowest vaccination

rates and widespread political opposition to public health measures like mask requirements.

In Florida, 16,457 people are hospitalized, the most of any state, followed by Texas, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

With the surge pummeling the nation and overwhelming hospitals, a shortage of bedside nurses has complicated efforts to treat hospitalized coronavirus patients, leading to longer emergency room waiting times and rushed or inadequate care.

Earlier this month, 1 in 5 American ICUs had reached or exceeded 95% of beds full.

Alabama was one of the first states to run out, and the crisis is concentrated in the South, with small pockets of high occupancy elsewhere in the country. As cases and hospitalizations surged, the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville on Thursday requested assistance from the National Guard.

“I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” said Dr. Shannon Byrd, a pulmonologist in Knoxville, who described local hospitals filled to capacity, noting that the vast majority of ICU patients in the region are unvaccinated. “It’s bringing whole families down and tearing families apart. They’re dying in droves and leaving surviving loved ones with a lot of funerals to go to.”

As in previous surges, hospitals have been

forced to expand capacity by creating makeshift ICUs in areas typically reserved for other types of care, and even in hallways or spare rooms.

Experts say maintaining existing standards of care for the sickest patients may be difficult or impossible at hospitals with more than 95% ICU occupancy.

Hard-hit communities in Oregon and elsewhere are asking for mobile morgues to store the dead.

Dr. Ijlal Babar, the director of pulmonary critical care for the Singing River Health System in coastal Mississippi, said the influx of mostly unvaccinated, younger COVID-19 patients is hampering care across the system’s hospitals.

“Because a lot of these patients are lingering on, the ventilators are occupied, the beds are occupied,” he said. “And a lot of other patients who need health care, we can’t do those things, because we don’t have the ICU beds, we don’t have the nurses, we don’t have the ventilators.”

Like many health care workers, Babar voiced frustration at the refusal of many residents to get inoculated, even after they have lost an unvaccinated family member to the virus.

“The families, you don’t see them going out and talking about the benefits of vaccine,” he said. “Nobody brings it up, nobody expresses any remorse. It’s just something that they absolutely do not believe in.”

In this remote American outpost, pandemic recovery is a faraway dream

By KELLY KASULIS CHO

P

erched steps away from the prismatic seas off Guam’s western shore, a water sports shop sat shuttered on a recent weekend morning, its rack of neon kayaks and fleet of Jet Skis collecting fallen leaves.

Down an oceanside road, in the tourist district of Tumon, the gift shop at the Hyatt Regency displayed its beach floaties and fidget spinners in total darkness. Nearby, a shopping plaza adorned with miniaturized street lamps had only one guest: a stray dog sunbathing in the tropical heat. Worn posters on its walls advertised a TV series that premiered last year.

“The hustle and bustle here has just evaporated,” said Madelaine Cosico, the Hyatt’s director of sales and marketing.

While much of the United States has returned to something resembling life before the coronavirus, the tiny American territory of Guam in the Western Pacific is stuck in

time. A year and a half into the pandemic, the island’s tourism-dependent economy remains paralyzed, and officials say a full recovery is probably years away.

The South Korean and Japanese visitors who once thronged Guam for its year-round sun and luxury boutiques are long gone, and with their home countries now in the throes of their worst COVID outbreaks, they aren’t coming back anytime soon. The island’s economy shrank by up to 18.9% in 2020, and would have contracted by as much as 49% without federal pandemic aid, according to estimates by economists at the University of Guam.

Recovery, the island’s leaders believe, starts with vaccination. Its population of 170,000 met the government’s goal of an 80% vaccination rate among adults by July, the same month it waived quarantine requirements for foreign tourists. It has also kept mask mandates, and compliance is nearly universal. Most businesses ask customers to

record their contact information, and even small hotel elevators have markings on the floor for social distancing.

The government has also poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into a program that aims to entice tourists with the promise of not just a vacation, but also vaccination.

The program, called Air V&V, offers visitors their choice of any of the CDC-approved vaccines for $100 or less per dose.

By the end of August, at least 2,100 vaccine tourists will have arrived on chartered planes, according to the GuamVisitors Bureau, in addition to a relatively small number of others on regular flights. But that’s little consolation on an island that recorded 1.7 million arrivals the year before the pandemic began.

“It’s not even a drop in the bucket,” said Bob Odell, the owner of a water sports shop called Guam Ocean Adventures. “I don’t think anybody here is faring well.”

The island had hoped to draw people

from Japan and South Korea, where the vaccination campaigns have lagged, but infrequent flights and strict quarantine requirements back home have kept people away.

“That’s an impediment to really growing this,” said Gerry Perez, the Visitors Bureau’s vice president. “We’ve got a program of organizers who are trying to put butts on the seats of planes.”

All of those arriving on chartered flights have been from Taiwan, where vaccines have been hard to come by and where travel agencies were quick to capitalize on the offer.

One Taiwanese visitor, Yulin Lin, was hiding from the sun under a bright orange gazebo one recent day, watching as her teenage daughters took selfies before stepping into a translucent lagoon. Strapped into diving gear, they were headed for sea life that has overtaken underwater craters named after World War II bombs.

Calls grow to discipline doctors spreading virus misinformation

By DAVEY ALBA and SHEERA FRENKEL

S

tanding before a local school board in central Indiana this month, Dr. Daniel Stock, a physician in the state, issued a litany of false claims about the coronavirus.

He proclaimed that the recent surge in cases showed that the vaccines were ineffective, that people were better off with a cocktail of drugs and supplements to prevent hospitalization from the virus, and that masks did not help prevent the spread of infection.

His appearance has since become one of the most-viewed videos of coronavirus misinformation. The videos — several versions are available online — have amassed nearly 100 million likes and shares on Facebook, 6.2 million views on Twitter, at least 2.8 million views on YouTube and over 940,000 video views on Instagram.

His talk’s popularity points to one of the more striking paradoxes of the pandemic.

Even as many doctors fight to save the lives of people sick with COVID-19, a tiny number of their medical peers have had an outsize influence at propelling false and misleading information about the virus and vaccines.

Now there is a growing call among medical groups to discipline physicians spreading incorrect information. The Federation of State Medical Boards, which represents the groups that license and discipline doctors, recommended last month that states consider action against doctors who share false medical claims, including suspending or revoking medical licenses. The American Medical Association says spreading misinformation violates the code of ethics that licensed doctors agree to follow.

“When a doctor speaks, people pay

attention,” said Dr. Humayun Chaudhry, president of the Federation of State Medical Boards. “The title of being a physician lends credibility to what people say to the general public. That’s why it is so important that these doctors don’t spread misinformation.”

Stock joined physicians including Dr. Joseph Mercola, and a group that calls itself America’s Frontline Doctors, in generating huge audiences for their bogus claims. The statements by them and others have contributed to vaccine hesitancy and a resistance to masks that have exacerbated the pandemic in the United States, public health officials say.

The doctors often stand in lab coats and use simplified medical jargon, lending an air of authority. They often take advantage of a ready audience online by livestreaming news conferences, and keep interest alive by promising new evidence that will expose corruption and support their arguments.

Some state medical boards have disciplined doctors for their conduct during the pandemic. In December, the Oregon Medical Board ordered an emergency suspension of the medical license of a doctor after he violated a state order by not wearing a mask, or requiring patients to wear masks. The ruling bars the doctor from practicing medicine in Oregon until the governor lifts the state of emergency issued for the pandemic.

In January, a San Francisco doctor who had been falsely claiming that 5G technology caused the pandemic volunteered to surrender his license to the California Medical Board.

“Publicly spreading false COVID-19 information may be considered unprofessional conduct and could be grounds for disciplinary action,” Carlos Villatoro, a spokesman

Dr. Humayun Chaudhry, president of the Federation of State Medical Boards, in Washington, June 27, 2014. for the Medical Board of California, said in a statement.

But Chaudhry said it was impossible to know how many states had opened investigations into doctors spreading misinformation. Such investigations are typically not publicized until a decision is reached and the process can take many months.

Stock, 59, did not respond to several requests for comment for this article. He has been a licensed doctor in Indiana since 1989, a year after he graduated from the Indiana University School of Medicine. He has worked in several hospitals, urgent care centers and private practices in the state, according to a profile on LinkedIn. On Stock’s website he sets himself apart

from conventional medicine. “By presenting patients with all of their treatment options — whether that’s a pill, lifestyle change, therapy, or supplements — I help patients choose the option that works best for them,” the website reads. “This results in permanent healing, not merely the temporary relief found in the traditional system.” He sells dozens of vitamins and supplements on the site.

In the video that spread widely this month, Stock is shown speaking to a Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation board meeting in Fortville, just east of Indianapolis.

Standing with his back to the camera, and speaking at a rapid, nearly monotone clip, he opens his statement with the line, “Everything being recommended by the CDC is actually contrary to the rules of science.” Then he selectively cites academic studies to give the impression that widely held medical advice, such as wearing a mask and getting vaccinated, does not work.

YouTube, which forbids videos that spread false information about the virus, said it would not take down the full video of the meeting that the school board had put online.

“While we have clear policies to remove harmful COVID-19 misinformation, we also recognize the importance of organizations like school boards using YouTube to share recordings of open public forums,” Elena Hernandez, a YouTube spokeswoman, said.

David A. Keltz, a spokesman for the Indiana attorney general, said the office could not discuss whether any complaints against Stock were under investigation. Keltz said the state would issue a public statement about any such investigation only if the office decided to file a formal complaint with the Indiana Medical Board.

In this remote American outpost, pandemic recovery is a faraway dream From page 8 Lin took her family to Guam to get the Pfizer vaccine before the school year started, spending thousands on a travel package that included a stay at the all-inclusive Pacific Islands Club.

When she returns home, she will have to spend at least another $2,000, she said, on government-mandated quarantine in a hotel.

“I think it’s good for them to be outdoors again. They’re not just locked

away in the house in the city,” Lin said of her daughters. “I expected a lot of things to be closed down, so we’ll have to come back here again.”

Across the island, only a few businesses said they had noticed the small bump in tourists. Many are instead relying on steady shipments of U.S. service members arriving for short-term assignments.

Others said it simply cost too much to reopen for such a small clientele.

At the Hyatt Regency, where the vast lobby bistro has only a few small

tables in use and the nightclub has been chained up for months, roughly 100 fulland part-time staff members have been let go during the pandemic.

Several gas stations have shortened their operating hours, and some car rental agencies have either sold off their inventories or begun leasing vehicles to local residents at a reduced rate. Independent taxi drivers have decided to find other work, and the local ride-share app, Stroll Guam, frequently tells users that it is out of drivers.

About 60% of the island’s revenue came from tourism as of 2019, and Guam has lost $200,000 in revenue per hour from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan since the pandemic began, said Perez, the tourism official.

“We believe we will recover, but we won’t recover very quickly. Not for at least maybe two or possibly three years,” he said. “If the gods are with us, we should be able to bring in 80,000 visitors for the next fiscal year.” That would be less than 5% of Guam’s usual annual influx.

The world is still short of everything. Get used to it.

Kirsten Gjesdal stopped ordering some products for her kitchen supply store in Brookings, S.D., tired of telling customers she didn’t know when the items would arrive.

By PETER S. GOODMAN and KEITH BRADSHER

L

ike most people in the developed world, Kirsten Gjesdal had long taken for granted her ability to order whatever she needs and then watch the goods arrive, without any thought about the factories, container ships and trucks involved in delivery.

Not anymore.

At her kitchen supply store in Brookings, South Dakota, Gjesdal has given up stocking place mats, having wearied of telling customers that she can only guess when more will come.

She recently received a pot lid she had purchased eight months earlier. She has grown accustomed to paying surcharges to cover the soaring shipping costs of the goods she buys. She has already placed orders for Christmas items like wreaths and baking pans.

“It’s nuts,” she said. “It’s definitely not getting back to normal.”

The challenges confronting Gjesdal’s shop, Carrot Seed Kitchen, are a testament to the breadth and persistence of the chaos roiling the global economy, as manufacturers and the shipping industry contend with an unrelenting pandemic.

Delays, product shortages and rising costs continue to bedevil businesses large and small. And consumers are confronted with an experience once rare in modern times: no stock available, and no idea when it will come in.

In the face of an enduring shortage of computer chips, Toyota this month announced that it would slash its global production of cars by 40%. Factories around the world are limiting operations — despite powerful demand for their wares — because they cannot buy metal parts, plastics and other raw materials. Construction companies are paying more for paint, lumber and hardware, while waiting weeks and sometimes months to receive what they need.

In Britain, the National Health Service recently advised that it must delay some blood tests because of a shortage of needed gear. A recent survey by the Confederation of British Industry found the worst shortages of parts in the history of the

index, which started in 1977.

The Great Supply Chain Disruption is a central element of the extraordinary uncertainty that continues to frame economic prospects worldwide. If the shortages persist well into next year, that could advance rising prices on a range of commodities. As central banks from the United States to Australia debate the appropriate level of concern about inflation, they must consider a question none can answer with full confidence: Are the shortages and delays merely temporary mishaps accompanying the resumption of business, or something more insidious that could last well into next year?

“There is a genuine uncertainty here,” said Adam S. Posen, a former member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee and now the president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. Normalcy might be “another year or two” away, he added.

In March, as global shipping prices spiked and as many goods became scarce, conventional wisdom had it that the trouble was largely the result of a surplus of orders reflecting extraordinary shifts in demand. Consumers in the United States and other wealthy countries had taken pandemic lockdowns as the impetus to add gaming consoles and exercise bikes to their homes, swamping the shipping industry with cargo, and exhausting the supplies of many components. After a few months, many assumed, factories would catch up with demand, and ships would work through the backlog.

That is not what happened.

Just as the health crisis has proved stubborn and unpredictable, the turmoil in international commerce has gone on longer than many expected because shortages and delays in some products have made it impossible to make others.

At the same time, many companies had slashed their inventories in recent years, embracing lean production to cut costs and boost profits. That left minimal margin for error.

A giant ship lodged in the Suez Canal earlier this year, halting traffic on a vital waterway linking Europe to Asia for a week, added to the mayhem on the seas. So did a series of temporary coronavirus-related closures of key ports in China.

The world has gained a painful lesson in how interconnected economies are across vast distances, with delay and shortages in any one place rippling out nearly everywhere.

A shipping container that cannot be unloaded in Los Angeles because too many dock workers are in quarantine is a container that cannot be loaded with soybeans in Iowa, leaving buyers in Indonesia waiting, and potentially triggering a shortage of animal feed in Southeast Asia.

An unexpected jump in orders for televisions in Canada or Japan exacerbates the shortage of computer chips, forcing auto manufacturers to slow production lines from South Korea to Germany to Brazil.

“There is no end in sight,” said Alan Holland, chief executive of Keelvar, a company based in Cork, Ireland, that makes software used to manage supply chains. “Everybody should be assuming we are going to have an extended period of disruptions.”

For the global economy, shipping is at the center of the explanation for what has gone awry.

As Americans enduring lockdowns filled basements with treadmills and kitchens with mixers, they generated extra demand for Chinese-made factory goods. At the same time, millions of shipping containers — the building blocks of sea cargo — were scattered around the globe, used to deliver protective equipment like face masks.

The container shortages were exacerbated by delays in unloading cargo at American ports, because workers stayed home to slow the pandemic’s spread.

Then, in late March, came the fiasco in the Suez Canal, the pathway for about 12% of the world’s trade. With hundreds of other ships blocked, the impact played out for months.

In May, China shut down a huge container port near Shenzhen — one of the nation’s leading industrial cities — after a small outbreak of a coronavirus variant. The port did not resume operations for several weeks.

Then, in the middle of August, Chinese authorities shut down a container terminal near the city of Ningbo, after one employee tested positive. Ningbo is the world’s third-largest container port, so its closure held the potential to snowball into a global event, even threatening the supply of goods to American stores in time for Black Friday sales around Thanksgiving.

By Wednesday, the Ningbo terminal was back in operation. But China’s decision to close it because of a single COVID case resonated as a warning that the government might shut other ports.

In Miami Beach, Eric Poses, an inventor of board games, developed a product aptly named for the pandemic: The WorstCase Scenario Card Game, a title that could also be applied to his experience relying on China to make and ship the product.

Before the pandemic, shipping a 40-foot container of games from Shanghai to the warehouse he uses in Michigan cost $6,000 to $7,000, Poses said. His next shipment, scheduled to leave China in mid-September, will cost at least $26,000. And his freight agent warned him that the price will most likely rise, to $35,000, because of rail and trucking difficulties in the United States.

Some trade experts suggest that product shortages are now being exacerbated by rational reactions to recent events.

Because of the pandemic, humanity now knows the fear of running out of toilet paper. That experience might be driving consumers and businesses to order more and earlier than previously needed.

Ordinarily, the peak demand for trans-Pacific shipping begins in late summer and ends in the winter, after holiday season products are stocked. But last winter, the peak season never ended, and now it has merged with the rush for this holiday season — reinforcing the pressure on factories, warehouses, ships and trucks.

“We have this vicious cycle of all the natural human instincts responding, and making the problem worse,” said Willy C. Shih, an international trade expert at Harvard Business School. “I don’t see it getting better until next year.”

Technology stocks lift Wall Street as taper fears ease

W

all Street indexes were supported by gains in defensive and heavyweight technology stocks on Thursday, as investors fretted over when the Federal Reserve could begin tapering its massive stimulus program.

The Dow Jones retreated on losses in growth-sensitive sectors, while gains in major technology stocks kept the Nasdaq in positive territory.

Defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples were the best performers, while technology rose 1.1%.

The S&P energy sector was the worst performer among its peers with a 2.8% tumble, as oil prices hit a three-month low, while the materials sector dropped 0.7% after copper prices tumbled.

Data from the Labor Department on Thursday showed weekly unemployment claims at a 17-month low, further supporting the view that a job market recovery was underway.

The reading came a day after minutes from the Fed’s July meeting showed officials felt the employment benchmark for decreasing support to the economy “could be reached this year”, sending the S&P 500 down 1% in its worst day in a month.

“The Federal Reserve should start taking away the punchbowl by tapering after the next strong jobs report, potentially as soon as early September,” said Richard Saperstein, chief investment officer, Treasury Partners.

“After some initial stock market volatility, the market will likely appreciate the Fed’s tapering as it reinforces the central bank’s confidence in economic growth.”

At 11:56 am ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 12 points, or 0.03% , to 34,950.73, the S&P 500 gained 15.67 points, or 0.36 %, to 4,415.94 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 69.96 points, or 0.48%, to 14,595.87.

Concerns about the sudden tapering at a time when macroeconomic data was signaling a slowdown in U.S. economic growth have knocked Wall Street’s main indexes off record highs this week.

With the S&P 500 up nearly 100% from its pandemic-lows hit in March 2020, investors have also said stocks might be due for some profit-taking. But a strong second-quarter earnings season is likely to keep losses limited.

“There are other things that will probably cushion the market from any severe pullbacks. A lot of companies have raised their dividends, buybacks are back... whatever decline we’re headed for over the next few days, it’ll probably not be exaggerated,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York.

Can Afghanistan’s leading broadcaster survive the Taliban?

By DAN BILEFSKY

O

ver the past two decades, the Afghan broadcaster Tolo has been known for provocative programs such as “Burka Avenger,” in which an animated superheroine uses martial arts to vanquish villains trying to shut down a girls school.

Millions of Afghans have also tuned in to its racy Turkish soap operas, its popular “6 P.M. News” and the reality show “Afghan Star,” featuring female singers dancing energetically on Afghanistan’s version of “American Idol.”

Since the Taliban captured Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, on Aug. 15, however, Tolo’s usual lineup is being supplemented by something else: educational programming about Islamic morality. Whether its menu of pop music and female television hosts will survive in the Taliban’s new Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will be a barometer of the insurgents’ tolerance for dissenting views and values.

“To be honest, I’m still surprised we are up and running,” said Tolo co-owner Saad Mohseni, an Australian Afghan former investment banker who started Moby Group, which owns Tolo, in 2002. “We know what the Taliban stand for.”

Keen to gain international legitimacy, the Taliban have been seeking to rebrand themselves as more moderate since they stormed Kabul, offering former rivals amnesty and urging women to join the government. They have vowed to support media freedom, on the condition that outlets subscribe to “Islamic values.” A Taliban spokesperson even appeared on a Tolo news program hosted by a female anchor just

A news program on Tolo, Afghanistan’s largest and most popular broadcaster, in Kabul in 2018. days after the group captured Kabul.

But journalists and human rights advocates say there are ominous signs that a violent media clampdown is underway. Taliban fighters hunted a journalist from Deutsche Welle, a German broadcaster, who had already left the country, shooting dead a member of his family and seriously injuring another, according to the broadcaster.

Mohseni said Ziar Khan Yaad, a Tolo journalist, and a cameraman were beaten by five Taliban at gunpoint while out reporting Wednesday. He said the Taliban jumped out of a Land Cruiser and confiscated their equipment and cellphones.

The Taliban have also barred at least two

female journalists from their jobs at the public broadcaster Radio Television Afghanistan. And the female anchor at Tolo, who grabbed global headlines when she interviewed a Taliban spokesman, has since fled the country, along with many other journalists.

Many Afghan social media influencers deactivated have also their Facebook and Twitter accounts and gone underground.

Khadija Amin, an anchor with the public broadcaster, said in a phone interview that, on the day the Taliban entered Kabul, one of the militants took her place at the station.

The Taliban also warned the women of Afghanistan that it might be safest for them to remain home until rank-and-file Taliban fighters have been trained how not to mistreat them.

“We are in a very bad situation,” Amin said, adding that male journalists were now afraid to sit next to their female colleagues or even talk to them. “There is no longer space for us here,” she said.

Tolo rose to prominence after the United States toppled the Taliban in 2001, tapping into Afghans’ pent-up hunger for news and entertainment after the insurgents’ ban on independent news, music and film. Today, Tolo is Afghanistan’s largest and most popular broadcaster, with its Pashto- and Dari-language channels viewed by an estimated 60% of Afghans who watch television and listen to the radio.

In 2003, armed with a $220,000 grant from the U.S. government, Mohseni started a radio station, Arman FM, which played Afghan and Indian pop music. His American benefactors thought he was “crazy,” Mohseni recalled: Afghanistan barely had electricity, and there

were no shampoo or soft drink companies to advertise. But within months, Arman became a national sensation with listeners blasting the station from speakers on the streets of Kabul.

Today, his Moby Group has about 500 employees in Afghanistan and broadcasts across South and Central Asia and the Middle East.

The Afghanistan that the Taliban conquered this month has a vibrant media culture, with roughly 170 radio stations across the country and dozens of television stations in Kabul alone. They broadcast everything from hard-hitting news documentaries to game shows. Social media has also offered a cacophonous outlet for debate — and dissent.

“The media in Afghanistan has been one of the greatest achievements over the past 20 years,” Mohseni said. “It is dangerous, we are in a tough neighborhood, but you have been able to express yourself.”

Mohseni said a wholesale clampdown on the news media would also prove difficult in the era of TikTok and Twitter. About 60% of Afghans are 25 or younger, he noted, and they had come of age with mixed classrooms of male and female students; uncovered women; and Snapchat.

“Today’s Taliban are savvy. They check or ban smartphones and WhatsApp in remote villages. They can monitor phones,” he said.

“But the country has changed, the population is young, and the Taliban will not suddenly be able to deprogram people and tell them the world is flat when they know that it is not.”

Lotfullah Najafizada, director of Tolo News, said that after Kabul fell, there had been internal debate at the broadcaster about whether to shut down. But he said a decision was made to remain on air.

“Shutting down would’ve been a statement to the Taliban,” he said, adding, “We don’t get daily orders from the Taliban. We cover what we think is news.”

But Afghan journalists and advocates of a free media fear that hard-fought advances may soon disappear.

Samiullah Mahdi, a former Tolo manager and lecturer at Kabul University, said journalists like him had spent 20 years trying to build a pluralistic media industry, refusing opportunities abroad. Now, many — himself included — are fleeing.

“Microphones and cameras versus AK47s,” he said. “That’s a hard battle.”

Confronting that reality, Mohseni said he had prepared a contingency plan. He would broadcast Tolo from Europe or the Middle East if it is shut down.

Family says 10 of its members were killed in US drone strike in Kabul

By MATTHIEU AIKINS

H

ours after a U.S. military drone strike in Kabul on Sunday, Defense Department officials said that it had blown up a vehicle laden with explosives, eliminating a threat to Kabul’s airport from the Islamic State Khorasan group.

But at a family home in Kabul on Monday, survivors and neighbors said the strike had killed 10 people, including seven children, an aid worker for an American charity organization and a contractor with the U.S. military.

Zemari Ahmadi, who worked for the charity organization Nutrition and Education International, was on his way home from work after dropping off colleagues Sunday evening, according to relatives and colleagues interviewed in Kabul.

As he pulled into the narrow street where he lived with his three brothers and their families, the children, seeing his white Toyota Corolla, ran outside to greet him. Some clambered aboard in the street, while others gathered around as he pulled the car into the courtyard of their home.

It was then that they say the drone struck.

The missile hit the rear end of the Corolla in the narrow courtyard inside the walled family compound, blowing out doors, shattering windows and spraying shrapnel. Ahmadi and some of the children were killed inside his car; others were fatally wounded in adjacent rooms, family members said. An Afghan official confirmed that three of the dead children were transferred by ambulance from the home Sunday.

Ahmadi’s daughter Samia, 21, was inside when she was struck by the blast wave.

“At first I thought it was the Taliban,” she said.

“But the Americans themselves did it.”

Samia said she staggered outside, choking, and saw the bodies of her siblings and relatives.

“I saw the whole scene,” she said. “There were burnt pieces of flesh everywhere.”

The Pentagon acknowledged the possibility that Afghan civilians had been killed in the drone strike but suggested that any civilian deaths resulted from the detonation of explosives in the vehicle that was targeted.

“We’re not in a position to dispute it,” John F. Kirby, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said Monday about reports on the ground of civilian casualties.

He repeated earlier Pentagon statements that the military was investigating the strike on a vehicle 2 miles from Hamid Karzai International Airport.

“No military on the face of the earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than the United States military,” Kirby said. “We take it very, very seriously.

And when we know that we have caused innocent life to be lost in the conduct of our operations, we’re

transparent about it.”

Among the dead was Samia’s fiance, Ahmad Naser, 30, a former army officer and contractor with the U.S. military who had come from Herat, in western Afghanistan, in the hopes of being evacuated from Kabul.

A spokesman for the U.S. Central Command said Sunday that the U.S. military had carried out a drone strike against an Islamic State Khorasan vehicle planning to attack the airport. The group had claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing at the airport Thursday.

On Monday, Capt. Bill Urban, the spokesman, reaffirmed an earlier statement that the military hit a valid target, an explosives-laden vehicle.

Ahmadi was a technical engineer for the local office of Nutrition and Education International, an American nonprofit based in Pasadena, California.

His neighbors and relatives insisted that the engineer and his family members, many of whom had worked for the Afghan security forces, had no connection to any terrorist group.

They provided documents related to his long employment with the American charity, as well as Naser’s application for a Special Immigrant Visa, based on his service as a guard at Camp Lawton, in Herat.

“He was well respected by his colleagues and compassionate towards the poor and needy,” Steven Kwon, the president of NEI, said of Ahmadi in an email.

He wrote that Ahmadi had just recently “prepared and delivered soy-based meals to hungry women and children at local refugee camps in Kabul.”

Colombia’s troubles put a president’s legacy on the line

Iván Duque, the president of Colombia.

By CARLOS TEJADA and JULIE TURKEWITZ

I

ván Duque swept into Colombia’s presidency in 2018 as a young, little-known technocrat riding a surging right-wing movement. He tapped public anger against a peace deal that he said had treated the country’s deadly insurgents too softly. And he warned that the proposals of his left-wing opponent could stifle steady growth.

Three years and a global pandemic later, it is Duque who is presiding over high unemployment and an angry electorate — and who is on the defensive about the steps he has taken to tame persistent violence by militants.

Duque contends his policies have opened opportunities for the middle- and low-income classes, encouraged entrepreneurship and paved the way for Colombia to return to its prepandemic growth. He also touted social policies that could address issues of police conduct and social inequality that led to violent clashes this year, killing dozens.

“The three pillars of our overall plan of government, which were legality, entrepreneurship and equality, have been producing results,” Duque said last week in an interview in South Korea with The New York Times. “Obviously, they were affected by the pandemic. But I think we

have demonstrated our resilient spirit.”

Duque’s legacy — and that of his patron, firebrand former President Álvaro Uribe, who still dominates Colombian politics — is on the line. Colombian voters go to the polls in May, when Gustavo Petro, a former presidential candidate, previous mayor of Bogotá and a onetime guerrilla member, could become the country’s furthestleft leader in its history at a time when leftists are again claiming victories across South America.

Duque can’t run again because of term limits, and his party’s candidate hasn’t been determined. Still, his government faces some of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency. Colombia’s economy, trade and investment from abroad were hit hard by the coronavirus, which exacerbated long-running social tensions over stark wealth inequality and police conduct.

He has also come under increased pressure to tame Colombia’s armed insurgencies and hasten the fulfillment of the government’s peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by the Spanish acronym FARC, despite his criticism of the terms of the deal on the 2018 campaign trail.

In South Korea, Duque was seeking trade and investment opportunities, such as expansions by Korean manufacturers and increased sales of Colombian coffee, avocados and bananas. He even cited the filming of a South Korean movie — Duque has long championed creative investments in areas like the arts and research — in Bogotá.

The president is trying “to get South Korean investors interested in playing big ball,” said Sergio Guzmán, of the Bogotá-based consulting firm Colombia Risk Analysis.

The challenge for Duque, Guzmán added, is that a victory by Petro could undo what he and his predecessors had accomplished.

“He’s a weak president,” said Guzmán. “He’s a lame-duck president. He’s a president whose most important legacy will be for his successor not to be able to undo his own policies.”

Duque disputed that, saying that his efforts — including wage subsidies and a proposal to widen university access — could help put the economy back on track.

“We have concentrated in our administration not to promote polarization, but to move the country into the right direction.”

Though a protégé of Uribe, the charismatic leader who revved up the government’s offensive against FARC nearly two decades ago, Duque never fully fit the populist mold. Born into a politically prominent family, the 45-year-old president worked for years in development banking. He speaks in clipped, think-tank English: “I will give you very concise numbers,” he said at one point before doing exactly that.

He was elected after campaigning on increasing economic growth and changing the terms of the peace

accord with FARC, but he quickly ran into challenges. In 2019, frustration over the lack of opportunities and possible pension changes sparked mass protests. So did a tax proposal this year meant to close a fiscal hole exacerbated by the pandemic.

Duque is also trying to thread the policy needle in a polarized time, making it increasingly difficult to please his party’s base and unhappy voters.

The tax protests became part of broader unrest over inequality and police violence. Some police used brutal and deadly force on demonstrators.

In the interview, Duque cited his efforts to increase scrutiny on the police and to equip them with body cameras. But he said some of the demonstrators had been spurred by “people producing fake news” and other instigators to elevate the violence.

His trickiest balancing act may be enacting the peace accord with FARC. In 2019, his effort to alter the terms, including tougher sentencing for war crimes, failed on legal grounds. Internationally, he is under intense pressure to carry out the accord, but domestically, his party and other conservatives continue to criticize it.

Just weeks before the deal’s five-year anniversary, more than half of its measures have not been applied or have barely begun, according to the Kroc Institute at the University of Notre Dame, an independent entity charged with oversight of the deal. Opposition groups and some of the electorate say Duque missed a critical window to push it forward.

Duque and his supporters point to the accord’s time frame, which calls for its tenets to be enacted over 15 years. In the interview, he said that he had done more than his predecessor, Juan Manuel Santos, to put in place the peace deal’s landownership overhauls and development plans that would give poor farmers and former rebels jobs and opportunities.

“We have been not only implementing, but the issues that we have been implementing are going to be decisive for the evolution of the accords,” he said, adding, “We have made a good progress.”

Duque must balance competing interests overseas, as well. Tensions have risen between the United States — Colombia’s longtime ally — and China, a growing source of business for the country. China, Colombia’s second-largest trading partner after the United States, has invested in mines in the country and successfully bid on engineering contracts.

Duque said that the Chinese companies had won the work in open bids and that relations with the United States remained warm. “We try to build our relationship with our partners based on investment and trade and common opportunities. But usually I have to highlight that in the case of the United States, our alliance has been existing for almost 200 years, and we will continue to see the United States as No. 1.”

Ron DeSantis, how many COVID deaths are enough?

By CHARLES M. BLOW

R

epublican politics have become oppositional politics: Deny the science, demean the media, own the libs. Conservatives are less defined by what they are for than by what they are against.

Donald Trump put this concept on steroids because it was beneficial to him as a strategy. He framed himself as the antithesis of Barack Obama.

He was against immigrants and Muslims. He was against cultural conciliation. He was against the rapidly approaching future of America, one in which white people would lose not only their numerical advantage but also their societal primacy.

Furthermore, very few facts helped Trump, so he waged war against facts themselves. He denied, diminished and dismissed them.

And as a result, at the peak of their intransigence and callousness, his party catastrophically mishandled the pandemic. They refused to follow the science or act with caution. And, because of their reflexive opposition to the facts, untold numbers of people who didn’t have to die did.

The relationship between leader and followers

in the religion of resistance was cyclical: Trump reflected the base, and they reflected him. The base began to have certain expectations from their politicians, expectations they made clear: The base must not only be followed, but also affirmed. The mob is the master.

I say peak, but there have been multiple peaks in the GOP’s utter disregard for public safety — even the safety of their own supporters.

It isn’t a single mountain but a range. The death dealing of COVID amounts to the Appalachians of ignorance.

Perhaps no politician has taken the reins from Trump with more vigor — and disastrous effects — than Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a man who thinks he could be the next Republican president.

But to supplant the last leader of his party, he has to out-Trump Trump.

To accomplish this meteoric rise, he needed to do two things. First, become the darling of the Trump freedom fighters, fighting for the right to get sick and die. And second, he has to be the opposite of the establishment, in this case Joe Biden and his administration. If Biden swerves left, DeSantis must swerve right, even if the hospitals in his state are overrun and the funeral parlors reach capacity.

It hasn’t necessarily been easy for DeSantis to bait Biden. As The New York Times reported in March, Biden’s top advisers said they saw “no benefits in waging a culture war against Republican governors while they are fighting to contain the pandemic.”

But as the delta variant became more of a threat and people like DeSantis became more entrenched, waging war against mask mandates in their states, Biden had no choice but to engage more directly. (Luckily, a Florida judge rejected DeSantis’ mask ban Friday.)

Enticing Biden into open battle is what DeSantis wants and needs. It takes attention off the unbelievable tragedy playing out in his state, a tragedy in which he is complicit.

As The Times reported Wednesday: “More people in Florida are catching the coronavirus, being hospitalized and dying of COVID-19 now than at any previous point in the pandemic.” The Times continued, “This week, 227 virus deaths were being reported each day in Florida, on average, as of Tuesday, a record for the state and by far the most in the United States right now.”

The citizens of Florida do not even support

DeSantis’ politically calculated pandemic positions. A Quinnipiac University poll released last week found that “6 in 10 Floridians support requiring masks in schools,” and “61% say recent rise in COVID-19 cases in Florida was preventable.”

But there are two things more important to DeSantis than those numbers. First, a different Quinnipiac poll found that regardless of how few Floridians approve of his performance, his approval rating is still higher than Biden’s in the state.

Second, DeSantis is playing to an electorate beyond the panhandle. As long as he is still mentioned in the same breath as Biden, even if the coverage is negative, he is playing well among Republicans. As long as he is fighting Washington and Democrats and experts, it doesn’t matter to entrenched Republicans that he’s not fighting the plague.

Some bodies must be sacrificed to appease the gods of partisan resistance.

To keep the spotlight, DeSantis is employing many of the same tricks as Trump: fighting with the media about coverage, deflecting blame onto Biden and convincing his followers that folding to facts is the same as forfeiting freedoms.

As DeSantis said in early August, “We can either have a free society, or we can have a biomedical security state.” He continued, “And I can tell you: Florida, we’re a free state. People are going to be free to choose to make their own decisions.”

Yes, Florida, DeSantis is allowing you to choose death so that he can have a greater political life.

Why are Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short working together? It’s a mystery

By DAVE ITZKOFF

E

liciting comedy from Steve Martin and Martin Short is usually a simple proposition: You just put the two of them together. Even as they looked back on their years of friendship and collaboration in a video interview earlier this summer, they couldn’t help falling into a familiar rhythm of affectionately zinging and zetzing each other.

When Martin caught himself in a moment of self-reflection — “If I could talk about myself just for a second,” he said ostentatiously — his on screen partner saw the opening he’d been given.

“I wouldn’t know it any other way,” Short quickly interjected.

A few moments later, Short offered an overview of his own work — “Throughout my career, I have satirized narcissism,” he said — and it was time for payback.

Martin replied, “Except for you, it’s not a satire.”

They can do this sort of repartee in their sleep. But what if you took these veteran entertainers outside their comfort zone and put them in a TV series playing creaky, washed-up showmen? What if they were teamed with a third actor who is in no way a member of their demographic cohort, like, say, Selena Gomez? What if the series were not only an arch sendup of cutthroat New York life but also a murder mystery?

This is the unlikely yet oddly effective premise of “Only Murders in the Building,” which makes its debut Tuesday on Hulu. The series, in which Gomez, Short and Martin play mismatched residents in a beaux-arts building, drawn together by the death of a neighbor, is a comic whodunit that also inspires another, more basic question: How did this show come to exist?

The answer turns out to be not a computer algorithm or a dart board but a development process that played out over several years. Its end result is a series that drew Gomez, the actress and pop singer, back to television for her first scripted show since her early 2000s breakthrough on “Wizards of Waverly Place” — and cast Martin in his first continuing TV role ever.

Making “Only Murders in the Building” was a process of discovery for all three of its leads, one that showed Short and Martin that their well-honed routine had room for new tricks and new teammates, and also that Gomez could capably hold her own with her two seasoned co-stars.

As Gomez explained in a separate phone interview, performing alongside Short and Martin was an understandably intimidating task. “They don’t know what to expect from a 29-year-old, and they don’t know much about me,” she said. “We were getting to know each other.”

The central conceit of the series is one that Martin nursed for many years. He said he had devised it at a party whose host suggested that he write something for three other guests he described only as “older Broadway actors.”

As Martin recalled: “The idea came almost immediately, that they lived in a building and they all were interested in crime. But they didn’t have the energy to go downtown, so

The actors Martin Short, left, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez, in Beverly Hills, Calif., July 6, 2021. The three stars forge an unexpected partnership in the Hulu crime comedy series “Only Murders in the Building.” they would only do murders in the building.”

Martin, 76, is a cultural eclecticist whose output includes cartoons, Broadway shows and banjo music. (Full disclosure: He also provided a blurb for a book of mine that was published in 2018.) In his telling, he had no interest in doing the series himself until 71-year-old Short suggested they could act in it together.

“Marty said, ‘You know, you’re old — we could do this,’” Martin said.

But the actual path to their pairing on the show was more elaborate. For some time, Martin has been courted by TV producers like Dan Fogelman, creator of shows like the NBC mainstay “This Is Us.” When Fogelman and his producing partner, Jess Rosenthal, landed a lunch meeting with Martin a couple of years ago, they hoped for a memorable encounter with one of their comedy heroes but expected few tangible results.

Near the end of the lunch meeting with Fogelman and Rosenthal, Martin volunteered his idea for what would become “Only Murders in the Building.” After some cajoling, he indicated he might appear in it if Short did, too.

Though he and Martin are now inseparable peers, Short still had vivid memories of feeling inferior when they met on the 1986 Western satire “Three Amigos!”

Appearing alongside Martin and Chevy Chase in his first film role, “I was the cheap Amigo,” Short said. “Like,

Carrot Top has passed, and now who do we go to?”

Despite an estimable résumé that included runs on “SCTV” and “Saturday Night Live,” Short said he had been awestruck by Martin. “For the first couple of weeks, I had to do an impersonation of myself being relaxed,” he said. But over the course of the shoot, he said, “we laughed a lot and played a lot of Scrabble.”

Thirty-five years later, the Hulu series casts them as Charles (Martin), a vaguely famous actor from a long-ago TV cop drama, and Oliver (Short), a once-hot Broadway director still yearning for another shot at the limelight.

John Hoffman, who is the showrunner of “Only Murders in the Building” and shares credit with Martin for creating the series, said the crux of the show was not the age of its lead actors but the idea of “three lonely people who find a sense of connection.” Noting his previous work on the Netflix comedy “Grace and Frankie,” Hoffman said: “On that show, there was already a lot about growing older and issues around that. I very consciously said, I don’t want to do that again.”

Even so, as Hoffman and his colleagues mapped out the new show, they were wary of making its three main characters too similar. Recalling those conversations, Hoffman said: “Don’t we want an alien in their world? The thing that we’re not expecting, that doesn’t make sense?”

Their solution was to have Charles and Oliver forge an uneasy alliance with a third character, Mabel, a sarcastic young woman who isn’t totally forthcoming about how she is able to live in their building or why she is so interested in the central crime of the story. Fogelman said that Gomez was an archetype the producers used as they sketched out the character — and later learned to their surprise that she was actually interested in the role.

As filming for the series took place in New York this past winter and spring, Gomez said, she learned to stop idolizing Short and Martin as elder statesmen and to open up to them in human, quotidian ways.

“They’re like my crazy uncles,” she said. “They were wonderful with giving advice, even just about my personal life. I’d ask them all the questions that girls ask, like, ‘So, when did you guys first fall in love?’ I’d ask them about boys and dating. They’d be like, ‘Well, make sure he’s kind.’ They were just so sweet.”

Given the unusual leap that “Only Murders in the Building” represents for each of its stars, they are all trying to strike the right balance between caring about its success and acting nonchalant about its prospects.

Martin cited an adage that he attributed to his friend and fellow actor Richard E. Grant, saying: “You put your heart and soul into something, your dreams, your high hopes. Then later you realize it’s just another title on the shelf.”

When Short heard this, he could hardly contain himself. “That’s an optimistic thought,” he said sarcastically.

“You know what else happens eventually? You’re laughing, you love your children, you have a stroke and you die.”

Martin adopted a tone of exaggerated grandeur as he replied, “You’re welcome.”

Ed Asner, Emmy-winning star of ‘Lou Grant’ and ‘Up,’ is dead at 91

By ANITA GATES

E

d Asner, the burly character actor who won seven Emmy Awards — five of them for playing the same character, the gruff but lovable newsman Lou Grant, introduced on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” — and later starred in film hits like “Up” and “Elf” — died Sunday at his home in Tarzana, California. He was 91.

His death was confirmed by his family via Twitter. No cause was specified.

Asner also served as president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1981 to 1985 and was active in political causes both within and beyond the entertainment industry. The issues he supported over the years included unionism (in particular the air traffic controllers’ strike of 1981) and animal rights; those he protested against included the U.S. military presence in El Salvador.

Asner was 40 when he was approached for the role of Lou Grant, the irascible but idealistic head of the fictional WJM television newsroom in Minneapolis and the boss of Moore’s Mary Richards. His place in television comedy history was secured when, during the first episode, he told Moore, an eager young job seeker, “You’ve got spunk,” then paused and added, “I hate spunk.”

“The Mary Tyler Moore Show” ran on CBS from 1970 to 1977, and Asner was nominated for the Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy series every year. He won in 1971, 1972 and 1975. He went on to win twice for best lead actor, in 1978 and 1980, for the spinoff “Lou Grant,” making him the first performer to have received Emmys for playing the same character in both a comedy and a drama series.

“Lou Grant” (1977-82) itself was an unusual case, a drama series developed around a sitcom character. In the show, Grant returned to his first love, editing a big-city newspaper, and the scripts tackled serious issues that included, in the first season alone, domestic abuse, gang rivalries, neo-Nazi groups, nursing-home scandals and cults.

In between playing Lou Grant, Asner also won Emmys for his appearances in the 1976 miniseries “Rich Man, Poor Man,” as Nick Nolte’s bitter immigrant father, and the groundbreaking, lavishly lauded 1977 miniseries “Roots,” in which he played a slave-ship captain with scruples. He also won five Golden Globes, one for “Rich Man, Poor Man” and two each for the two series in which he played Lou Grant.

Ed Asner on the set of “Lou Grant” in 1980. He played the title role on the show, a one-hour drama, the same role he had played for laughs on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

Edward David Asner was born on Nov. 15, 1929, in Kansas City, Missouri, and grew up in Kansas City, Kansas.

He was the youngest of five children of Orthodox Jewish immigrants, Morris David Asner, a junkyard owner from Poland, and Lizzie (Seliger) Asner, from Russia.

As a boy, Edward Asner became interested in dramatics and worked on a school radio program. After high school he was accepted at the University of Chicago, but dropped out after 1 1/2 years to work at odd jobs — taxi driver, encyclopedia salesman, metal finisher at an auto plant — while he tried to build an acting career.

In 1951 he was drafted into the Army and sent to France.

Mustered out in 1953, he returned to Chicago to work with the Playwrights Theater Club and the Compass Players, a precursor of the Second City comedy troupe. But he soon moved to New York, where he found work onstage (a small part in “The Threepenny Opera” at the Theater de Lys in Greenwich Village and a short-lived Broadway play, “Face of a Hero,” starring Jack Lemmon) and in a handful of television shows.

Moving to California in 1961, he found the acting jobs more lucrative, and was cast in a short-lived CBS political drama, “Slattery’s People,” starring Richard Crenna. He made a point of largely avoiding comedy — out of fear, he said in a 2002 appearance at Vanderbilt University, and because “in those days you got discovered by doing the drama shows as a guest star.” But he agreed to audition for “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” because, as he said in an Archive of American Television interview, Lou Grant “was the best character I’d ever been asked to do” in either television or film.

Lou was a hard-drinking, straight-shooting, short-tempered journalist who had tender emotions but did not plan to show them; a strong aura of professional and personal integrity; a fear that he had outlived his era; and “a great common core of honor,” as Asner told Robert S. Alley and Irby B. Brown, the authors of “Love Is All Around: The Making of ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show.’”

In the post-Lou Grant era, Asner worked on both screen and stage. He returned to Broadway in 1989 to play the pugnacious Harry Brock opposite Madeline Kahn in a revival of “Born Yesterday.” His last Broadway play was “Grace” (2012), a tale of gospel-themed motels and murder, in which he played an exterminator.

He provided the voice of the lead character in the Oscar-winning animated movie “Up” (2009), about an elderly widower who flies to South America by attaching roughly a zillion colorful balloons to his house. Manohla Dargis’ review in The New York Times, which praised Asner and the supporting characters — including a portly stowaway scout and several talking dogs — called it “filmmaking at its purest.”

Asner also played a levelheaded Santa Claus in the Will Ferrell comedy “Elf” (2003), about a tall human raised

by North Pole elves, which has become a Christmas-season classic. (It was Santa’s fault, really; the human baby crawled into his giant bag of gifts one busy Christmas Eve.) Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert called the film “one of those rare Christmas comedies that has a heart, a brain and a wicked sense of humor.”

Asner married Nancy Sykes in 1959, and they had three children. They divorced in 1988. Ten years later he married Cindy Gilmore, a producer; they separated in 2007 but did not divorce until 2015.

He is survived by two daughters, Liza and Katie Asner; two sons, Charles and Matthew, and 10 grandchildren.

In a 1999 interview, Asner looked back fondly on his long-running series.

“To me, the best performances come from those milieus where you create the family,” he said. “Of bolstering each other, of love for each other’s work, of trying to help each other, of trying to get the best out of each other. And I believe it pays off.”

Caught in the crossfire over COVID’s origins

By RONI CARYN RABIN

I

n the early days of the pandemic, scientists reported a reassuring trait in the new coronavirus: It appeared to be very stable. The virus was not mutating very rapidly, making it an easier target for treatments and vaccines.

At the time, the slow mutation rate struck one young scientist as odd. “That really made my ears perk up,” said Alina Chan, a postdoctoral fellow at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Chan wondered whether the new virus was somehow “pre-adapted” to thrive in humans, before the outbreak even started.

“By the time the SARS-CoV-2 virus was detected in Wuhan in late 2019, it looked like it had already picked up the mutations it needed to be very good at spreading among humans,” Chan said. “It was already good to go.”

The hypothesis, widely disputed by other scientists, was the foundation for an explosive paper posted online in May 2020, in which Chan and her colleagues questioned the prevailing consensus that the lethal virus had naturally spilled over to humans from bats through an intermediary host animal.

The question she helped put on the table has not gone away. In late May, President Joe Biden, dissatisfied by an equivocal report he had received on the subject, asked U.S. intelligence services to dig deeper into the origins question. The new report is due any day now.

In last year’s paper, Chan and her colleagues speculated that perhaps the virus had crossed over into humans and been circulating undetected for months while accumulating mutations.

Perhaps, they said, the virus was already well adapted to humans while in bats or some other animal. Or maybe it adapted to humans while being studied in a lab, and had accidentally leaked out.

Chan soon found herself in the middle of a maelstrom.

An article in The Mail On Sunday, a British tabloid, ran with the headline: “Coronavirus did NOT come from animals in the Wuhan market.”

Many senior virus experts criticized her work and dismissed it out of hand, saying she did not have the expertise to speak on the subject, that she was maligning their specialty and that her statements would alienate China, hampering any future investigations.

Some called her a conspiracy theorist. Others dismissed her ideas because she is a postdoctoral fellow, a junior scientist. One virus expert, Benjamin Neuman, called her hypothesis “goofy.”

A Chinese news outlet accused her of “filthy behavior and a lack of basic academic ethics,” and readers piled on that she was a “race-traitor,” because of her Chinese ancestry.

“There were days and weeks when I was extremely afraid, and many days I didn’t sleep,” Chan, 32, said recently at an outdoor cafe, not far from the Broad Institute.

Chan’s story is a reflection of how deeply polarizing questions about the origins of the virus have become. The vast majority of scientists think it originated in bats, and was trans-

mitted to humans through an intermediate host animal, though none has been identified.

Some of them believe that a lab accident, specifically at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, cannot be discounted and has not been adequately investigated. And a few think that the institute’s research, which involved harvesting bats and bat coronaviruses from the wild, may have played a role.

It is an acrid debate. In May, 18 scientists, including Chan, published a letter calling for an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus. In July, a group of 21 virus experts — including one who had signed the May letter — posted a paper compiling the evidence for an animal source, saying there was “no evidence” of a laboratory origin.

Scientists on all sides say they have been threatened with violence and have faced name-calling for their positions. The attacks were so fierce that Chan worried for her personal safety and started taking new precautions, wondering if she was being followed and varying her daily routines.

The backlash made her fear that she had put her professional future in jeopardy, and she wrote a letter to her boss, in which she apologized and offered her resignation.

“I thought I had committed career suicide, not just for me but for the whole group that wrote the paper,” Chan said. “I thought I had done a huge disservice to everybody, getting us mired in this controversy.”

But Chan’s boss, Benjamin E. Deverman, who was a coauthor on the paper, refused to accept her resignation, saying only that they had been naive not to anticipate the heated reaction.

Chan’s role has been so contentious that many scientists declined to discuss her at all. One of the few virus experts who was willing to comment flatly dismissed the possibility of a lab leak.

“I believe there is no way the virus was genetically modified or person-made,” said Susan Weiss, co-director of the Penn Center for Research on Coronaviruses and Other Emerging Pathogens at University of Pennsylvania, who also dismissed the possibility that the virus may have accidentally escaped the lab. “It is clearly zoonotic, from bats.”

Others said Chan was brave to put alternative hypotheses on the table.

“Alina Chan deserves the credit for challenging the conventional narrative and asking this question,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University. “It is not easy for a junior scientist to openly challenge an established narrative.”

As she sipped unsweetened ice tea and chatted about her ideas recently, Chan seemed an unlikely provocateur. She insisted that she was still on the fence about the virus’s origins, torn “50-50” between the natural route and lab accident hypotheses.

No scientific journal ever published her paper. Determined to draw the attention to what she considered a critical question that had to be answered in order to prevent a future pandemic, Chan took to Twitter, mastering the art of tutorial threads and gathering followers.

She is now in “worse shape” than before, Chan said: “Now I’m getting attacked from both sides. The scientists are

still attacking me, and the lab leak proponents are attacking me, too, because I won’t go all the way and say it’s from a lab. I keep telling them I can’t, because there is no evidence.”

Critics say Chan bears some responsibility for the backlash.

Early last year on Twitter, she appeared to accuse scientists and editors “who are directly or indirectly covering up severe research integrity issues surrounding the key SARS-2like viruses to stop and think,” adding, “If your actions obscure SARS2 origins, you’re playing a hand in the death of millions of people.” (She subsequently deleted the tweet.)

Lab-leak proponents — who have called her “an apologist” for virus experts — have also been irked by the fact that Chan received so much credit for putting the question on the public agenda.

Scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology said in early 2020 that they had found a virus in their database whose genome sequence was 96.2% similar to that of SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus.

But it was internet sleuths and scientists who discovered that the virus matched one harvested in a cave linked to a pneumonia outbreak in 2012 that killed three miners — and that the Wuhan lab’s genomic database of bat coronaviruses was taken offline in late 2019.

Chan was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, but her parents returned to their native Singapore when she was an infant. She was a teen when the SARS epidemic hit there.

“People were dying of SARS, and it was nonstop on TV,” she recalled. “I was 15, and it really stuck with me. There were pictures of body bags in hospital hallways.”

“When COVID started, many people in Boston thought it was no big deal, that flu is worse,” she said. “I remember thinking, ‘This is serious business.’ ” She returned to Canada after high school, studying biochemistry and molecular biology at University of British Columbia, and completing a Ph.D. in medical genetics. By age 25, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, and then she took a position working for Deverman, who is the director of the vector engineering research group at the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.

Chan is “insightful, incredibly determined and apparently fearless,” Deverman said, and she has an uncanny ability “to synthesize large amounts of complex information, distill all of the details down to the most critical points and then communicate them in easy to understand language.”

She remains equivocal about the origins of the virus. “I’m leaning toward the lab leak theory now, but there are also days when I seriously consider that it could be from nature,” she said.

“On those days, I feel mostly really, really sorry for the scientists who are implicated as possible sources for the virus,” she said.

Referring to Shi Zhengli, the top Chinese virus expert who leads the research on emerging infectious diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chan said, “I feel really sad for her situation. The stakes could not be higher.”

A lineup of color made history, even if it felt ‘routine’

By TYLER KEPNER

R

oberto Clemente won two championships with the Pittsburgh Pirates, one when he was young and the other near the end of his brief life. For the first, in 1960, everyone else on the World Series roster was white, except for two teammates at the end of the bench. The second roster, in 1971, was much different.

Fifty years ago on Wednesday — about a month before the start of a postseason he would make his own — Clemente found himself batting third in a lineup unlike any that had come before. For the first time in the history of the National or the American League, a team fielded a lineup that was entirely composed of people of color.

“Roberto said to me, ‘Sangy, I never thought I’d see that in my life,’” said Manny Sanguillen, 77, the catcher that night. “He was proud to see nine guys playing, and he said, ‘I’m glad I’m participating in that for the Pittsburgh Pirates.’”

The Pirates will honor the legacy of that game Wednesday by hosting a panel discussion at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh with Sanguillen and the three other living members of the lineup: third baseman Dave Cash, center fielder Gene Clines and first baseman Al Oliver. The team will wear commemorative T-shirts before its road game that day and will hold a pregame ceremony before its next home game Sept. 6.

“It means a lot more to me now than it did then, because at that time, we didn’t give it much thought,” said Oliver, 74.

“The reason we didn’t is because the Pirates were always loaded with Black and Latin players, and so it wasn’t something that was really noticeable to us as players.

I don’t know how it was to other people, but to us, it was almost routine.”

While Black participation in Major League Baseball has declined in recent years, the 1971 Pirates stand as an early example of the international game MLB would become. In the lineup that Sept. 1 were two players from Panama (Sanguillen and second baseman Rennie Stennett), one from Cuba (shortstop Jackie Hernández) and Clemente, from Puerto Rico.

Five others were Black Americans: Cash, Clines, Oliver, left fielder Willie Stargell and pitcher Dock Ellis. They were different in birthplace but connected in spirit.

“Some people said, ‘Latino, it’s not the

Francisco Lindor and Javier Baez of the Mets celebrated their team’s win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday by giving Mets fans a thumbs-down for having booed them in the past. same’ — but it’s not true; we’re Black,” Sanguillen said, laughing. “Like Willie said to me, ‘Your color’s even darker than mine!’”

Such brotherly ribbing was a hallmark of the Pirates in the 1970s, even as they transitioned to other stars of color like Dave Parker, Bill Madlock, Jim Bibby and Omar Moreno. The visual on Sept. 1, 1971, was unremarkable, like the game itself: a Wednesday night affair at Three Rivers Stadium against the overmatched Philadelphia Phillies before 11,278 fans.

Standing in the on-deck circle at first pitch, Phillies shortstop Larry Bowa had the same reaction as Oliver: same old Pirates, the class of the league. Baseball had been integrated since 1947, so a diverse lineup, in general, was nothing new. Twelve different players of color had won the league’s Most Valuable Player Award, including Clemente in 1966.

“You look at every one of those guys that night, and they were great players,” Bowa said. “It didn’t even enter my mind that, ‘Oh, wow, that’s different.’ I just looked at the talent out there and went, ‘Wow — pretty good baseball team.’”

Two white Pirates infielders were out of the lineup — first baseman Bob Robertson had sprained a knee, and third baseman Richie Hebner was recovering from a viral infection. But the Pirates were so deep that their manager, Danny Murtaugh, had

plenty of strong options to replace them.

The first six hitters in Murtaugh’s lineup were all batting over .300 — Stennett, Clines, Clemente, Stargell, Sanguillen and Cash. Oliver, who had a .303 career average, batted seventh. Hernández, the lighthitting shortstop, was next, followed by Ellis, who had started the All-Star Game that summer.

“I’m not saying we were intimidated, but you knew you’d better play your A game or it would be a long series in Pittsburgh,” Bowa said. “They were that much better than us. Every one of those hitters used the whole field. They hit balls hard, they could run, they could throw. And all those guys used big bats. Even the ground balls they hit to you, they came at you with authority.”

Bowa worked two walks off Ellis, helping force the Pirates’ bullpen into the game in the second inning. The Pirates would win 10-7 and the pitching star, as The Sporting News noted, was white.

“Ironically,” the paper reported, “it took six innings of strong relief by Luke Walker, a Caucasian from Texas, to quiet the Phillies.”

The Pirates’ unique lineup was treated more as an amusing footnote than a watershed moment. The Sporting News story was a brief item tucked in the corner of a box score page. The Pittsburgh newspapers were not publishing because of a

strike, and The Philadelphia Daily News made only a passing reference the next day to the Pirates’ “all-soul lineup.” A United Press International reporter took more of an interest.

“When it comes to making the lineup, I’m colorblind,” Murtaugh said in that report. “And my athletes know it. They don’t know it because I told them, but they know it because they’re familiar with the way I operate.”

Murtaugh, who died in 1976, insisted he did not even notice the racial makeup of the lineup. In that way, he was like Red Auerbach, the impresario of the Boston Celtics, who always maintained that he did not realize he had used the first all-Black lineup in NBA history when he did so on Dec. 26, 1964.

“Murtaugh was a man that wanted to win, and it didn’t matter what formula he had to come up with, he was just looking at who was the best fit for that particular game,” said Roberto Clemente Jr., who was 6 years old at the time. “Obviously, it was a historic moment, but I don’t think he really even thought about it. He just wanted to have the best lineup to win that game.”

Oliver said the distinction had only dawned on him in the third or fourth inning. But Stargell — who would effectively replace Clemente as the Pirates’ leader after Clemente’s fatal plane crash on Dec. 31, 1972 — was keenly aware. In the clubhouse later, Clines said he was sure the Pirates had started “nine brothers” before.

Stargell corrected him.

“This is the first time,” he said in the UPI story. “Back in 1967, in Philadelphia, Harry Walker started eight of us, but the pitcher, Denny Ribant, was white.”

Though he pitched only briefly that night 50 years ago, Ellis’ presence helped the Pirates do something for the very first time. Before long, Clemente would lead them to a place he had been once before: the World Series.

“He was on a mission,” the younger Clemente said. “He knew he was here for a short period of time. As he told my mother, he was going to die young, and I believe that’s how he lived his life, in a flash. So understanding that he wanted to win that World Series, that is something that needed to happen.”

The Pirates started September by symbolically flipping a league that had once been all white. They ended October as champions.

Can Novak Djokovic be invincible again?

By MATTHEW FUTTERMAN

F

or months and months this year, at the most important tennis tournaments, it seemed as if Novak Djokovic was invincible, as if he simply could not be beaten.

With the biggest titles on the line, professional tennis threw everything it had at Djokovic for the first seven months of 2021. In Australia in February, he overcame a debilitating abdominal tear, snap COVID-19 lockdowns and the hottest player in the game. In Paris in June, he neutered the most dominating player a Grand Slam tournament has ever known and then staged an epic comeback to win the French Open title. At Wimbledon, he managed some of the best young players in the game as if they were hopeless children.

Arriving in Tokyo for the Olympic Games, he quickly became the toast of the athletes’ village, and the gold medal — perhaps two of them — appeared to be little more than a formality.

Nenad Lalovic, a fellow Serb and a member of the executive board of the International Olympic Committee, snagged the honor of presiding over the medal ceremony, certain that he would be delivering gold to a man who had become a deity in their homeland.

Djokovic’s first victim, Hugo Dellien of Bolivia, asked for Djokovic’s shirt as a souvenir and told him that merely being on the court with him had been a dream come true. After matches, Djokovic headed to the weight room for nighttime training sessions. Can he lose? the rising Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was asked after Djokovic had dismantled him, 6-3, 6-1, in the round of 16 in Tokyo. “I don’t think so,” he said.

But invincibility in sports can be as fleeting as it is powerful. For Djokovic, who traveled to Tokyo to collect the fourth jewel in his quest for a Golden Slam — the four Grand Slam titles and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year — the magic dissipated during a shocking 11-game span that lasted roughly 45 minutes, as Alexander Zverev of Germany stormed back from a set down and conquered the king.

An hour later, Djokovic was back on the court, flubbing easy shots in the sweltering night during a mixed-doubles

Novak Djokovic during his loss in the bronze medal match at the Tokyo Olympics. semifinal with Nina Stojanovic. They lost to a vastly inferior duo from Russia. When it was over, he sniffed back his tears and leaned on the shoulder of a teammate as he walked to the locker room.

The next afternoon, he flung his racket into the stands and whacked it against the net post as he failed to find the answers against Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain in the bronze medal match.

It all seemed so un-Djokovic, so not 2021. Djokovic has not played a competitive match since the Olympics and has remained largely silent, citing a need to rest and nurse an aching shoulder. That has left everyone to wonder which version of Djokovic will take the court today (7 p.m. Eastern Time, vs. Holger Rune of Denmark) at the U.S. Open as he tries to become the first man to win a Grand Slam since Rod Laver did so in 1969.

“I can’t wait,” Djokovic said in a news conference Friday. “I’m very motivated.”

Making an argument against Djokovic is nearly impossible. The U.S. Open is played on hardcourts, the surface on which Djokovic has won 12 of his 20 Grand Slam tournament titles. Djokovic’s chief rivals throughout his career, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, have pulled

out as they battle advancing age and injuries. The defending champion, Dominic Thiem, also withdrew because of an injury.

As in all Grand Slam tournaments, matches are best-of-five sets, which makes upsets less likely. At the Olympics, Zverev was on the edge of defeat and then got remarkably hot for 11 games, which was all he needed to win the match. Could he have sustained that level for another set? Perhaps, but history suggests it would have been very hard.

Djokovic is also likely to play several of his U.S. Open matches at night so that he can be featured in the prime-time telecast. He is nearly unbeatable under the lights, when the afternoon heat that can be his kryptonite has subsided.

John McEnroe, a seven-time Grand Slam champion and ESPN commentator, said the only person who could beat Djokovic was Djokovic. Last year, Djokovic famously lost his temper in the round of 16, accidentally swatting a ball into the throat of a line judge, resulting in an automatic disqualification.

“I think he’s ready for the moment,” McEnroe said of Djokovic during a pretournament conference call last week.

And yet, after Tokyo, the idea that no

one can topple Djokovic on the sport’s biggest stages is no longer absurd.

“For another player, it’s always good to see the vulnerability of the all-time greats,” said Paul Annacone, a former coach of Pete Sampras’ and Roger Federer’s. “It’s reassuring. But in this case, it is a very measured level of reassurance.”

Invincibility is a rare commodity in tennis. There are so many matches and so many tournaments in so many countries, it’s virtually impossible not to lay the occasional egg. Martina Navratilova probably came the closest to it in 1983, when she played 87 matches and lost just once. Steffi Graf won the Golden Slam in 1988, a campaign that included a scary, 34-minute 6-0, 6-0 triumph in the French Open final. Graf lost three matches that year, but never when it counted most.

As Djokovic begins his quest for perhaps the most hallowed achievement in the game, Zverev figures to be his most likely foe, especially with the memory of Tokyo still fresh.

After nearly a month without competition, Djokovic has most likely put Tokyo in his rearview mirror, chalking up the experience to extreme heat and the precariousness of the best-two-ofthree format. But he may need a match or three to find his rhythm and recapture that aura of inevitability he carried onto the court all year, a weapon that can be far more potent than the special drinks and energy bars he packs in his tennis bag.

During her dominant run, Navratilova said, she could see in the eyes of her opponents before the first ball was hit that they knew how slim their chances were. The idea that the match might not go her way defied logic.

“Your best is better than their best, your medium is better than their medium, so why would you lose?” she said.

Amazingly, Djokovic has been at this level, or very close to it, twice before. In 2011 and in 2015, he won three of the four Grand Slam tournaments and dominated his chief rivals, Federer and Nadal. For long stretches, it appeared as though he might never lose.

And then, eventually, he did. Nothing lasts forever, in tennis or in life, even when it somehow seems impossible that it won’t.

Why so many tennis players don’t want the COVID vaccine

By BEN ROTHENBERG

W

hen the U.S. Tennis Association announced late last week that proof of coronavirus vaccination would be required for all spectators 12 and older to enter the grounds of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, it widened a gulf between the spectators and the players they’ll be watching at the U.S. Open.

Adults in the stands will now be roughly twice as likely to be vaccinated as the players on court: The WTA said “nearly 50%” of its players were vaccinated, while the ATP said its vaccination rates were “just above 50%.”

Despite the possible consequences of not being vaccinated — illness, of course, but also the inability to play and make money — tennis players have been stubbornly slow on the uptake, even as many have lost opportunities to play in major tournaments because of positive tests. While some players are openly skeptical of the need for a vaccine as a healthy young person, some simply haven’t prioritized it.

French veteran Gilles Simon, who was disqualified from the U.S. Open on Friday for “medical reasons,” confirmed in an interview with L’Equipe that he was removed because he hadn’t been vaccinated. Simon’s coach, Etienne Laforgue, tested positive for the coronavirus after arriving in New York, and Simon was disqualified because he was deemed a “close contact.”

“I was not against it to the point of never being vaccinated, I’m just saying I didn’t feel the need or the urge,” Simon told L’Equipe.

Simon would have remained eligible to compete in the tournament, with increased testing, if he had been vaccinated.

“I’m not very scared of COVID, actually,” Simon said. “My basic philosophy is: ‘If you’re afraid of it, you get vaccinated; if not, no.’ It’s still a choice.”

Simon must now isolate in his hotel room for 10 days, according to federal and New York City guidelines. Simon, 36 and ranked 103rd, rued that his hotel room, where he will stay during what he admitted might have been his last U.S. Open, lacks a nice view.

“If your last memory of a U.S. Open is 10 days in a room, it is not one you want to keep,” he said.

The highest-profile tennis player to miss this year’s U.S. Open is fifth-ranked Sofia Kenin, who, despite disappointing results this year, remains the highest-ranked American

Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece caused an uproar in his country after saying that he would only be vaccinated if it were required to compete. on either tour under the pandemic-adjusted ranking system. Kenin said she had tested positive despite being vaccinated.

“Fortunately I am vaccinated, and thus my symptoms have been fairly mild,” she said.

Many tennis players have been able to take advantage of on-site vaccination programs set up by tournaments as they travel on tour. Top-ranked Ashleigh Barty, whose native Australia has lagged in its vaccination rollout, was able to get vaccinated in April at a tournament in Charleston, South Carolina. Before she did, Barty made sure that she wasn’t cutting in line.

“That was important to me, knowing that those who were the most vulnerable were able to get it first,” she said in April.

Simon’s contention that vaccination should remain a choice is supported by both tours, even as they urge players to choose vaccination.

Other sports have been more successful at getting their athletes to get the shot.

The WNBA said in June that 99% of its players were vaccinated. The MLS Players Asso-

ciation said in July that it was “approaching 95%.” This week, the NFL announced it had reached a player vaccination rate of nearly 93%. Michele Roberts, executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, said in July that 90% of NBA players were vaccinated. This month, the NHL said its player vaccination rate was at 85%, and its union warned that unvaccinated players might lose pay if they tested positive.

In tennis, where each player is an independent contractor, there is no player union to encourage unified behavior and no general manager or team owner to encourage vaccination for the team’s competitive benefit. Other individual sports are still ahead of tennis, however: The PGA said early this month that its player vaccination rate was “above 70%.”

“While we respect everyone’s right to free choice, we also believe that each player has a role to play in helping the wider group achieve a safe level of immunity,” the ATP said in a statement. “Doing so will allow us to ease restrictions on-site for the benefit of everyone on Tour.”

The WTA said it “strongly believes in and encourages everyone to get a vaccine,” and has set a goal for 85% of players to be vaccinated by the end of the year. But it is “not requiring players to get a vaccine as this is a personal decision, and one which we respect.”

Third-ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas caused an uproar in his native Greece earlier this month after he said that he would get vaccinated only if it were required to continue competing.

“I don’t see any reason for someone of my age to do it,” said Tsitsipas, 23. “It hasn’t been tested enough and it has side effects.

As long as it’s not mandatory, everyone can decide for themselves.”

Giannis Oikonomou, a spokesperson for the Greek government, said Tsitsipas “has neither the knowledge nor the studies nor the research work that would allow him to form an opinion” about the necessity for vaccination, and added that people like athletes who are widely admired should be “doubly careful in expressing such views.”

Top-ranked Novak Djokovic has drawn scrutiny for his approach to health issues throughout the pandemic, and has declined to disclose his own vaccination status.

Djokovic said it was a “personal decision” when asked about vaccine protocols Friday.

“Whether someone wants to get a vaccine or not, that’s completely up to them,” Djokovic said. “I hope that it stays that way.”

Andy Murray, a member of the ATP player council, said that “there’s going to have to be a lot of pretty long, hard conversations with the tour and all of the players involved to try and come to a solution” on the high number of players holding out on vaccination. He said he appreciated the privileges New York City regulations afforded him as a vaccinated person, such as eating indoors in restaurants.

“I feel like I’m enjoying a fairly normal life, whereas for the players that haven’t, it’s different,” Murray said. “I’m sure they’ll be frustrated with that.”

Murray said he believes players have a duty to others.

“Ultimately I guess the reason why all of us are getting vaccinated is to look out for the wider public,” he said. “We have a responsibility as players that are traveling across the world, yeah, to look out for everyone else as well. I’m happy that I’m vaccinated. I’m hoping that more players choose to have it in the coming months.”

(Mar 21-April 20)

Libra

(Sep 24-Oct 23)

Co-operation is key! You may see how you and others could benefit from embarking on a plan or project as a team, rather than going at it separately. When you pull together, you’ll travel further in a shorter time.

As Mercury enters Libra, you’ll find it easier to liaise, negotiate and collaborate. This congenial influence might also enhance any romantic date or social event, Aries.

Mercury’s move into your sign boosts your ability to play the diplomat, and be tactful when necessary. But if you have held back from saying things that need to be said, this can change, with a desire to be more open and share your feelings. Mind, the Quarter Moon may also be a call to move beyond limits by avoiding over-analysing decisions. Too much faffing about won’t help.

Taurus

(April 21-May 21)

Scorpio

Gemini

(May 22-June 21)

You may need to make allowances for others who don’t see things the way you do, and who could be a tad difficult at times. Mercury’s move into Libra can assist you with being tactful, leaving others feeling good, even if your values are at odds. Plus, the Quarter Moon might be a call to adjust costs regarding a project, especially in the final stages when expenses may spiral.

Giving your home or living area a crucial makeover? This is the perfect time, if you’re keen to make space for new projects. If you enjoy crafts or have been thinking about setting up a small business or exercise area, the current alignment can bring ideas bubbling to the surface. Considering some major changes? It’s wise to ask other family members for their opinion.

Cancer

(June 22-July 23)

(Oct 24-Nov 22)

This is not the time to doubt yourself, as key influences suggest you could do so well. Yet you may swing between a “can-do” and “can’t-do” approach. If you give way to fear, you might miss out on an opportunity to further your plans or career path. Plus, the Quarter Moon can see you questioning yourself Scorpio. It’s time to draw on your strengths and use them to the full.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23-Dec 21)

Capricorn

(Dec 22-Jan 20)

Are you trying too hard to live up to certain expectations? If so, it could help to liaise with a competitor or perhaps a critic of your work. Mercury’s move into Libra, can make it easier to talk others around and brings a willingness to co-operate and compromise. Together, you may be able to achieve things that aren’t possible if you attempt to go solo. And you might learn a lot too.

There’s a buzz in the air that you are likely enjoying.

Whether this involves work efforts or is down to an expanded social life, you seem happier with the way things are panning out. Even so, don’t be in too much of a rush to cement a deal or accept an offer, as there may be more to it than meets the eye. Eager to make new connections? The days ahead can be perfect for this, Cancer.

How you handle a conversation can be key, and the way you respond could either improve a bond or ramp-up any discomfort. Being completely honest with someone may be too much for them to handle, so this might be one occasion when bending the truth is justified. If it won’t do any harm, and if it allows them to feel better, then it could be worth it just this once, Capricorn.

Leo

Aquarius

(July 24-Aug 23)

(Jan 21-Feb 19)

Read between the lines Leo, as a story you’re hearing may be nothing like it seems. The facts can cause confusion as well as clarifying matters, so if you sense that something is off, then trust this and act accordingly. Mercury’s entrance into Libra could assist you with diplomatic conversation and discissions that might get you out of a hot spot and resolve matters swiftly.

With upbeat Mercury entering Libra, a lively encounter could lead to interesting developments.

The seed of a new friendship may be planted and with constant care, might turn into a supportive association that opens your mind to new ideas and opportunities. If you share similar interests, then time can help forge a stronger bond that becomes an inspiration to both of you, Aquarius.

Virgo

Pisces

(Aug 24-Sep 23)

Although you may have canny insights into how to manage your finances, there’s a chance of unwise investments. With a sound spending plan though, you will certainly have more control over the long-term. Be willing to change your mind, if a fool-proof money-making scheme is not quite as it seems. In addition, the Quarter Moon urges you to finish what you’ve started, Virgo.

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

Today’s Quarter Moon in your home zone, is great for tying up loose ends and bringing any homebased projects to a successful conclusion. It’s best not to start anything new at this stage. Along with this, Mercury swings into Libra, stirring up intense feelings that may be seeking an outlet. Channelling them into art, crafts or intimate time with a loved one, can be very healing.
