In some cities around the world, health-care workers are earning standing ovations for the long, life-risking hours they’re putting in to battle the coronavirus. But in others, they’re facing discrimination and even attacks. In Mexico, Colombia, India, the Philippines, Australia and other countries, people terrified by the highly infectious virus are lashing out at medical professionals — kicking them off buses, evicting them from apartments, even dousing them with water mixed with chlorine. The culprits are a minority of the population. But Mexican state authorities are so worried that they’ve arranged special buses for nurses. The hostility has been a shock to medical professionals already under immense strain. Scores of doctors and nurses around the world have died after being infected with the coronavirus. In many countries, health workers are struggling with a lack of basic protective equipment, such as masks. Authorities say the attacks reflect misunderstanding of the virus and the strict hygiene maintained by hospitals to limit its spread. In one jarring incident, a man allegedly shot an ambulance driver last week in Quezon province in the Philippines. The assailant was worried the vehicle was going to enter a subdivision and spread the virus, the hospital said. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.

In video footage posted to social media on Tuesday, a woman standing outside of a public housing complex in southeast Baltimore called out to a police officer. “Hey, Officer Friendly, with the cherry cheeks,” she said. The white officer said nothing, but continued to walk past the housing complex. Then, he appeared to intentionally cough more than 10 times without covering his mouth as he passed within a few feet of the black woman and other residents. “I should call the CDC,” said the woman, referring to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “and let them know he just did some dirty s--- like that.” The Baltimore Police Department announced an internal investigation into the incident Tuesday after reviewing the video shared on social media. The department also said it would review the unnamed officer’s body camera footage. The residents in the yard jumped back with surprise when the officer started coughing in proximity to them. They shouted at the officer and told him to get away, as the Baltimore police sergeant continued walking. The officer joins the ranks of those who have flouted coronavirus precautions and taken actions that could potentially exacerbate the pandemic. The Baltimore Police Department has not announced a criminal investigation into the incident. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.

Breaking news: Sen. Bernie Sanders has suspended his presidential bid, clearing the way for Joe Biden to be the Democratic Party’s nominee. Sanders ends his campaign after a string of losses in Democratic primary contests. The exit by Sanders, a 78-year-old democratic socialist from Vermont, marked the apparent close of a roller-coaster primary race that started more than a year ago. What began as the most diverse presidential field in history, featuring more than two dozen candidates, is finishing with the victory of an older white man whose prospects were written off not long ago. Sanders’s departure presents Democrats with an immediate challenge: Can the party unify as it failed to do in 2016, when a feud between supporters of Sanders and Hillary Clinton damaged its efforts to win the presidency?

In in a video that went viral over the weekend, a middle-aged white man in Lousiville, Kentucky is seen storming toward a group of teenagers, forcefully shoving three girls out of his way. He then crouches down and grabs a young black girl by the neck. “Get off of her!” someone shouts. The altercation followed a tense standoff over social distancing, according to Louisville news outlets. Police identified the assailant as John Rademaker, a physician who has been charged with strangulation and harassment and placed on leave from his job. The incident highlights how “quarantine shaming” — calling out people who are perceived as not doing their part to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus — can escalate quickly and even turn outright dangerous. As The Post reported last month, an 86-year-old woman died after a confrontation at a Brooklyn hospital where a fellow patient accused her of standing too close and shoved her to the ground. Her assailant has since been charged with manslaughter. Read more by clicking the link in our bio.

President Trump criticized the World Health Organization at the White House coronavirus task force briefing Tuesday, saying: “We’re going to put a hold on money spent to the WHO. We’re going to put a very powerful hold on it.” When asked about that decision later, Trump backtracked and indicated that he is still considering the measure. “We’re going to look at it,” Trump said. He made these remarks on World Health Day. “We want to look at the World Health Organization because they called it wrong,” Trump said Tuesday. “They called it wrong. They missed the call. They could have called it months earlier. They would have known. They should have known, and they probably did know, so we’ll be looking into that very carefully.” The WHO was reporting about a pneumonia of unknown cause in late December. The organization declared a global health emergency on Jan. 30. It then declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic on March 11 and criticized countries for not acting aggressively enough to limit its spread. Trump did not release guidelines for social distancing or other ways to limit the spread until March 16.

While President Trump and members of his coronavirus task force dismissing talk of shortages that would lead to rationing care or equipment, state officials and doctors in U.S. hot spots warn that the lack of medical ventilators is inevitable in some places — and that it is coming soon. If — or when — that point is reached, many hospitals would activate grim triage plans that would rank patients based on who is most likely to benefit from the intensive care. Pregnant women would get extra priority “points” in most if not all plans, U.S. hospital officials and ethicists say. This is not controversial. There also has been some discussion about whether high-ranking politicians, police and other leaders should be considered critical workers at a time when the country is facing an unprecedented threat. The elderly, people with terminal cancer and those with chronic conditions, on the other hand, fare poorly in many plans, as do people with disabilities. U.S. hospital officials, bioethicists and doctors involved in the closed-door discussions for drafting plans at their institutions say many critical details are still being debated even as the number of people on ventilators climbs higher each day.

Tuesday evenings "pink moon" is the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. The moon isn’t actually pink, but April’s full moon was given the name as it “heralded the appearance of the moss pink,” according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. This year’s pink moon is especially bold and beautiful as it’s also a supermoon, meaning it is passing Earth near the closest point in its orbit while 100 percent illuminated. Supermoons can appear up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than full moons that are farthest away from Earth, and about 7 percent larger and 15 percent brighter than a regular full moon. April’s pink moon actually marks the third straight month that the full moon has met supermoon criteria, joining March’s worm moon and February’s snow moon. May’s “strawberry moon” will also be a supermoon, the fourth in a row and last of the year. (Photo taken in Santiago, Chile by Alberto Valdes/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock)

As the novel coronavirus sweeps across the United States, it appears to be infecting and killing black Americans at a disproportionately high rate, according to a Post analysis of early data from jurisdictions across the country. Data that is available and census demographics show that counties that are majority-black have three times the rate of infections and almost six times the rate of deaths as counties where white residents are in the majority. In Milwaukee County, home to Wisconsin’s largest city, African Americans account for 73 percent of the dead but just 26 percent of the population. The disparity is similar in Louisiana, where 70 percent of the people who have died were black, although African Americans make up just 32 percent of the state’s population. In Michigan, where the state’s 845 reported deaths outrank all but New York’s and New Jersey’s, African Americans account for 33 percent of cases and 40 percent of deaths, despite comprising only 14 percent of the population. Detailed data on the race of coronavirus patients has been reported publicly in fewer than a dozen states and several more counties. Read more of our analysis by clicking the link in our bio.

As the coronavirus spread, incoming White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany initially downplayed the threat before touting President Trump’s response to it. In the weeks leading up to her appointment, she provided what can best be described as something of a highlight reel for the job — echoing many of the controversial Trump and Fox News talking points about the coronavirus that have now been shelved as the situation has deteriorated.
