US COVID-19 infection numbers grow by one million in just six days
Nov. 16 - The US surpassed 11 million coronavirus cases on Sunday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, as states across the country moved to enact restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the virus.

It is the fastest the US has added one million new cases since the pandemic began.
At least 45 states have reported more new infections this past week compared to the previous week, according to Johns Hopkins University.
"We have this firestorm of coronavirus all across the country," emergency medicine physician Dr Leana Wen said.
"It's not one or two hotspots, the entire country is a hotspot of coronavirus infection." source
We will bring legal action to protect New Yorkers': Gov Cuomo threatens to sue Trump administration if the president blocks distribution of a COVID vaccine to his state
Nov. 15 - Andrew Cuomo on Sunday threatened to sue the Trump administration if they withhold a vaccine for his state, telling a Manhattan congregation that 'enough people have died and enough injustice has been done during COVID.'
The New York governor and Donald Trump are engaged in an escalating war of words over the coronavirus vaccine.
Cuomo has said that, given Trump's mishandling of the pandemic, he appointed an independent panel of experts to certify the vaccine once it becomes available and reassure New Yorkers that it was safe. Several others states, including California, Nevada and Oregon, are doing the same.
Trump, angered by the slight, said that New York won't get any vaccine. continue to read
If there is one person who doesn’t want Joe Biden to be president more than Trump, it is American Cardinal Raymond Burke.
Nov. 16 - ...The difference between the pope’s reaction to Trump and Biden could not be more stark with the pope and Trump clashing on a number of occasions. In February 2016, Francis said anyone who wants to build walls is “not Christian” when asked about the southern border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Francis also criticized Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord and expressed concern over when Trump undid President Obama’s move to restore trade and travel with Cuba.
Steven Millies, associate professor of Public Theology and director of The Bernardin Center, Catholic Theological Union, has studied Catholicism in the American political spectrum for 30 years. He points to other up-and-coming Catholics in the Democratic Party including Julián Castro, Ted Lieu, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as beacons of light. He says the Biden presidency provides a moment of “opportunity to promote the diversity of Catholic social teaching rather than seeing it through the preeminent, singular lens of abortion.”... source
Would a Same-Sex Couple Really Be Welcome in a Church?
Nov. 15 - Back in 2007, the Barna group conducted a survey among 16–29 year-olds, asking non-Christians about their perception of Christians. The study explored twenty specific images related to Christianity, including ten favorable and ten unfavorable perceptions. Among young non-Christians, nine out of the top ten perceptions were negative. 87% of those surveyed said Christians were judgmental, 85% said Christians were hypocritical and 78% said Christians were out-of-touch. Above all, Barna discovered that the most common perception of Christians among non-believers was that Christians were anti-gay with 91% of non-Christians saying they believe that Christians showed excessive contempt and unloving attitudes towards homosexuals, and made homosexuality a bigger sin than anything else.
That was 13 years ago though. These days I am assured by many of my church-going friends that Christian churches are much more accepting of members of the LGBTQ community. “Trust me,” they say. “Everyone is welcome at my church.” Apparently, a lot has changed since Barna released the findings of this research. Or has it? source
