In the new downtown future, devoid of office workers, every day could be Sunday (National Post) The pandemic has hit cities hard, posing an existential threat to downtown urban life. In America, the disaster was in New York. In Spain it was Madrid, in Britain it was London, and in Canada, the pandemic has now become two major outbreaks, in Toronto and Montreal. Empty city streets in the downtown core on weekday mornings have become a defining image of the pandemic. In April, research suggested half the U.S. labour force was working from home, with similar numbers in Canada, sparked by the pandemic, but spurred by digital trends in which corporate value is divorced from corporate real estate. Some companies barely exist anywhere in particular, but instead float overtop in the cloud. The old landmarks of city life are newly diminished, squares empty, shops closed. Remote working is here to stay. Rather than rebuild the downtown to make it pandemic compliant, why not just keep working from home?

Anger over police killings shatters US (AP) Americans awoke Sunday to charred and glass-strewn streets in dozens of cities after another night of unrest fueled by rage over the mistreatment of African Americans at the hands of police, who responded to the violence with tear gas and rubber bullets. Tens of thousands marched peacefully through streets to protest the death of George Floyd, a black man who died Monday after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on his neck until he stopped breathing. But many demonstrations sank into chaos as night fell: Cars and businesses were torched. The words “I can’t breathe” were spray-painted all over buildings. A fire in a trash bin burned near the gates of the White House. The fury sparked by Floyd’s death was compounded by the coronavirus pandemic, which has left millions out of work and killed more than 100,000 people in the U.S., including disproportionate numbers of black people. People set fire to squad cars, threw bottles at officers and busted windows of storefronts, carrying away TVs and other items even as some protesters urged them to stop. At least 13 police officers were injured in Philadelphia, and at least four police vehicles were set on fire. In New York City, dangerous confrontations flared repeatedly as officers made arrests and cleared streets. In more than a dozen cities across the country—including Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Atlanta, and Chicago—authorities ordered curfews for residents. There have been 1,400 arrests in 17 US cities since Thursday.

World uneasily watches US protests but US racism seen before (AP) Nations around the world have watched in horror at the five days of civil unrest in the United States following the death of a black man being detained by police. But they have not been surprised. Racism-tinged events no longer startle even America’s closest allies, though many have watched coverage of the often-violent protests with growing unease. Burning cars and American riot police featured on newspaper front pages around the globe Sunday. In the German capital of Berlin, hundreds of protesters picketed outside the U.S. Embassy on Saturday evening under the motto: “Justice for George Floyd.” Thousands gathered in central London on Sunday to offer support for American demonstrators. Chanting “No justice! No peace!″ and waving placards at Trafalgar Square, the protesters ignored U.K. government rules banning crowds because of the pandemic. In countries with authoritarian governments, state-controlled media have been highlighting the chaos and violence of the U.S. demonstrations, in part to undermine American officials’ criticism of their own nations.

From the Andes to Tibet, the coronavirus seems to be sparing populations at high altitudes (Washington Post) When tourists from Mexico, China and Britain became the first covid-19 fatalities in Cusco, Peru, it seemed as if the onetime capital of the Inca Empire might be headed for a significant outbreak. Nestled in a picturesque Andean valley, the high-altitude city of 420,000 residents, the gateway to the cloud forest citadel of Machu Picchu, receives more than 3 million international visitors per year—many from pandemic hot spots. Yet since those three deaths, between March 23 and April 3, at the start of Peru’s strict national lockdown, there has not been another covid-19 fatality in the entire Cusco region, even as the disease has claimed more than 4,000 lives nationally. Infections have also remained low. The relative dearth of cases and deaths in the internationally connected but high-elevation region has prompted speculation here that the coronavirus gets soroche, the Quechua word for altitude sickness. Similar results have been seen elsewhere in the Andes, and in Tibet. The phenomenon has scientists intrigued. Researchers are starting to investigate a possible relationship between the coronavirus and altitude.

Spanish PM Sanchez to extend lockdown a final time to June 21 (Reuters) Spain’s prime minister said on Sunday the country needed 15 more days of lockdown until June 21 “to finish with the pandemic once and for all”, and he would ask parliament to approve a final two-week extension to the stay home rule.

Pope: Pull together, avoid pessimism in this coronavirus era (AP) Pope Francis is cautioning against pessimism as many people emerge from coronavirus lockdowns to lament that nothing will ever be the same. During Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica to mark Pentecost Sunday, Francis noted a tendency to say “nothing will return as before.” That kind of thinking, Francis said, guarantees that “the one thing that certainly does not return is hope.” He took to task his own church for its fragmentation, saying it must pull together. “The world sees conservatives and progressives” but instead all are “children of God,” he said, telling the faithful to focus on what unites them. “In this pandemic, how wrong narcissism is,” Francis said, lamenting “the tendency to think only of our needs, to be indifferent to those of others, and to not admit our own frailties and mistakes.”
