Simon Stevens, chief executive of the National Health Service in England, said Thursday that English hospitals were treating about 4,000 coronavirus patients, down from 34,000 in mid-January. AdโWe must restore the freedoms that we all cherish, but in a way that doesnโt put the (National Health Service) at risk,โ he said.

Read full article: Ideological shift could cause disarray in Florida death sentence appealsTALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Floridas death penalty could soon be thrown into disarray for the second time in less than three years. In 2016, Floridas Supreme Court divided death row in two. Prisoners sentenced before a 2002 U.S. Supreme Court decision stayed on death row, but most of those sentenced after 2002 got a new chance in court to be sentenced to life. On the day the 2016 ruling was made, there were 384 death row inmates. Currently, there are 43 fewer, and anyone still on death row will be in limbo as new appeals are filed.
