Polls in January suggested League candidates could win elsewhere in the country, paving the way for an eventual prime ministerial run by Salvini. “As much of as a successful campaigner he is, Salvini has a hard time where the democratic party still offers good government. This is reassuring for the national government,” Filippo Taddei, a professor of international economics at Johns Hopkins SAIS in Bologna, told Newsweek. He added: “In the regional election in Emilia-Romagna, the Five Star Movement came only fourth....

The results are reflective of the vaccine’s effectiveness globally, and show levels of protection are different around the world. While the vaccine was 72% effective among participants in the U.S, it was only 57% effective among participants in South Africa, where a highly-transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variant first emerged. Notably, nobody in the clinical trial needed to be hospitalized for COVID-19, and nobody died of the disease. While the overall effectiveness is lower than the 95% demonstrated by both Moderna and Pfizer, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine brings with it two promising factors that Moderna’s and Pfizer’s two-dose vaccines do not have: the first being that healthcare facilities will face less logistical planning when administering a one-dose versus a two-dose vaccine....

Weisman’s intriguing thought experiment is to ask what would happen if the rest of the Earth was similarly evacuated—not by a nuclear holocaust or natural disaster, but by whisking people off in spaceships, or killing them with a virus that spares the rest of the biosphere. In a world with no one to put out fires, repair dams or plow fields, what would become of the immense infrastructure humans have woven across the globe?...
