The consensus is that Malawi has pulled off a major democratic success with a presidential election rerun that saw Lazarus Chakwera emerge the winner. Adem K Abebe argues that the entire process has indeed been remarkable. But, he warns, the success of the country’s democratic dispensation will be measured on the extent to which it delivers public goods - opportunities, development and accountability - for the people.
Meanwhile, in the US, experts often cite factors like poverty, poor diet and stress for the disproportionately high rates at which Black Americans are dying from COVID-19. But as IUPUI scholars, Tamika Zapolski and Ukamaka Oruche explain, the US health care system itself shares the blame as African Americans face bias from providers. They experience longer wait times for appointments than white people and tend to lack clinics in their own
neighbourhoods.

Kinases are cellular control switches. When they malfunction, they can cause cancer. The coronavirus hijacks these kinases to replicate, and cancer drugs that target them could fight COVID-19.
