This year, the 77th anniversary of Victory Day comes amid a brutal and destructive war waged by Russia in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s statement about the “special military operation” in Ukraine – the false claim that he wants to “de-Nazify” Russia’s neighbor – deliberately invokes the history of World War II.

Ihr Aufruf zeugt von nationaler Arroganz und ist besorgniserregend – weil er Stichworte zum AfD-Politiker Tino Chrupalla liefert. Wenig überraschend hat sich AfD-Präsident Tino Krupalla gegen Panzerlieferungen in die Ukraine ausgesprochen. Seine Partei war immer für Putin....

In December 2021, variant B.1.1.529 (Omicron) of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, became dominant in the United States. Subsequently, national COVID-19 incidence rates peaked at their highest levels. * Traditional disease surveillance methods do not record all COVID-19 cases because some are asymptomatic, undiagnosed, or unreported. Therefore, the percentage of the population with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (i.e., seroprevalence) may improve the understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on a population level....
