The avian flu virus is now just one mutation away from easier transmission among humans. Donald Trump’s health chief is a grave risk to world healthProf Devi Sridhar is chair of global public health at the University of EdinburghYou’d be hard-pressed to find many public health experts who have positive things to say about Donald Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States.

Patricia is sent away to Tanzania, where she is forced into marriage with a vile character called Jan, later earning the nickname Queen Kelly. It’s a far-fetched tale, whi...
