“You want to know why I feel all of this hilarious? Cause you’re fucking joke Benny Watts. All you did today was say a sea of nonsense, just to feel your conscience clear: you pretended to sound irreproachable, a man of morality in front of us, but who are you trying to decieve? Us? Or yourself? We know very well that the only reason behind your strange bother towards that handsome photographer, It’s not caused by the fear of a possible scandal, but the fact that you are envious of him. Because inside you, Benny mon chèere, you wish to take his place: and I’m sure that while you were looking at those photos you were thinking, ‘Why isn’t she looking at me like this? Why him and not me?’, isn't it true?”

Seattle, with the third-largest homeless population in the U.S., has seen at least 1,400 of them test positive for COVID-19 and 22 die since the pandemic began. More than 100 shelters and other homeless service sites have had outbreaks. Homeless people are at greater risk of being infected and greater risk of hospitalization and death than the average person, said Bobby Watts, CEO of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council. Shorter lifespans — chronic homelessness can take 20 to 30 years off a person’s life — should have qualified them for vaccination priority much earlier, Watts said. Instead, political pressure to vaccinate older adults moved them to the back of the line. Clinics serving them, Watts said, “were put in the unreasonable position of saying, ‘I know all of you are at high risk, but I can vaccinate only the few or you who are over age 70.’” In Seattle, it will take at least two months to get the vaccine to an estimated 575 housing, shelter and service sites, 85 unsanctioned encampments and nine youth service sites.

The Laws of Chess

Summary:

At that moment, If the chess player could, he would easily be in another city or even in another state: maybe spaced on a hammock or the roof of the house of his grandparents, in the vast and cool countryside of West Virginia and not in a crematory oven in Brooklyn. But, as he said to his sister before, this year wasn’t like the others for him. This time he couldn't permit himself to have a little vacation, not even for only two weeks; 'cause' in less than fourteen days from there he had to compete in the US Open, which will be held in New York at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on the 51st street of Manhattan. He had to be there, ‘cause she - Beth - will be there too.
