As the pandemic drags on, the burden of casualties is increasingly shifting toward the world's poorer areas.And here in the Palestinian territories it is front and center, where the sick and dying are pushing Gaza's hospitals close to capacity. Mohammad al-Haresh knows. He's the man burying the dead, and he says even the Israeli-Gaza war of 2014 wasn't this difficult for him."There used to be one or two funerals a day, and some days none at all," he says. Now he has eight a day, 10 a day, and God knows they'll increase.He's burying bodies in the day and night.Across the border fence in Israel, daily headlines show progress against the disease. Over half of Israelis are fully vaccinated, cases are down sharply, and people no longer have to wear masks outdoors.In Gaza, with a densely packed population of two million people, only a mere 34,000 have been vaccinated. Health officials say disregard for social distancing helped worsen the spike. Vaccine skepticism also runs deep. A recent survey suggests 54% of Gazans refuse to get a shot, according to the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center.Hamas is imposing a nightly curfew to try and stem the tide, shutting mosques hosting hundreds of people for Ramadan.But it's reluctant to damage the economy further, and elections are also coming.We spoke with Eyad Al-Bozom, a Hamas representative. He says, "We may impose additional measures, but we don't expect at this phase to go into a full lockdown."Back at the cemetery, Haresh the gravedigger continues. He says in war they'd bury the dead during ceasefires or truces. With coronavirus, there is no truce.

More than 400 Asian Americans in New York City have signed a letter opposing Andrew Yang's bid for mayor, arguing that "representation alone is simply not enough." Yang, who promised a monthly universal basic income of $1,000 as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, announced his mayoral campaign at a rally in Upper Manhattan in January.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day following his conviction for the murder of George Floyd. He's held in a small cell with "a bench with a mattress pad, a combination toilet and sink, and a tiny shower." A guard checks on him every 30 minutes. Chauvin's solitary confinement is protective, and he's hardly languishing in a dank hole. He has writing materials, and potentially reading materials, too. The Count of Monte Cristo this is not. He's also perhaps the most notorious man in the country at this moment — hardly a sympathetic test case for arguing against solitary confinement. But America should rethink solitary, even for Chauvin. It's not a stretch to call it torture. A brief separation is one thing, but extended isolation from human contact is "cruel and unusual punishment," in constitutional parlance. About 60,000 people are held in solitary in U.S. prisons at any given time (under normal conditions — use of solitary has spiked during the pandemic in an attempt to curb viral spread). Isolation is used not only for protection, as in Chauvin's case, but also for punishment, including for very minor offenses, like "derogatory comments" and "reckless eye-balling." The worst cases are the long ones. In Texas, The Texas Observer reported last year, 1,300 people have been in solitary for six years or more. Among those, 129 have been in solitary for two to three decades, and 18 for 30 years or more. Texas isn't the only state with ultra-long solitary stays. Before it passed a law limiting solitary confinement to 15 consecutive days, New York kept a teenager, Kalief Browder, in solitary for two out of three years of pre-trial detention. Browder committed suicide after his ordeal. As for Chauvin, he'll likely be sentenced to around 12 years in prison, or potentially as many as 40. If he is held in solitary longer than 30 days, his situation will be subject to review. But it's difficult to know what alternative prison officials would choose: Chauvin's notoriety (and therefore their quandary) will be no different in 30 days. That solitary may seem like the only option points to our prison system's larger need for reform.
