But at what cost? >>> When can America reopen? The National…

As the pandemic continues, there have been more and more examples of government intervention. Police ticketed people attending church in their cars on Easter. One Florida county introduced curfews.

Lebanon—already crippled by overlapping political, economic, and regional crises—faces catastrophic consequences from the COVID-19 pandemic.  The worsening public health crisis has magnified Lebanon’s severe economic, fiscal, and foreign debt problems and has undermined efforts to address other critical issues, such as corruption, sectarian tensions, and poor governance.  Even worse, the pandemic is likely to exacerbate…
