Tom Porton’s remit as a teacher at James Monroe High School in the Bronx was English grammar and literature. Mr. Porton died on July 12 at 74 in an assisted living center in the Bronx. No cause was given, but he had been using a wheelchair and an oxygen tank for months, his son, Christopher Porton, said. Mr. Porton’s title at Monroe, coordinator of student affairs, hardly captured his impact. A bearded bear of a man, Mr. Porton was, in 1995, the first New York City teacher inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame.

În urmă cu câteva săptămâni, Marea Britanie a fost pusă în carantină peste noapte de întreaga planetă. Fostul record similar a fost de 2.847 de persoane care au așteptat 12 ore pentru un pat în ianuarie 2020. Pe de altă parte, Marea Britanie este cea mai eficientă țară când vine vorba de programul de vaccinare. A fost detectată în eșantioane care datau din octombrie și ulterior a fost reperată în alte câteva țări, în special în Regatul Unit și în Franța. Reacția agresivă față de Marea Britanie de acum câteva săptămâni nu a fost una alimentată de descoperiri științifice, ci de frică.
