英国最高法院大法官Lord Kerr教你如何表达“法律必须与时俱进”：“Law, whether enacted or developed through the common law, if it is operating as it should, must be responsive to society’s contemporary needs, standards and values. It is a commonplace that these are in a state of constant change. That is an essential part of the human condition and experience. As a deeper understanding of the human psyche and the enlightenment of society increase with the onward march of education, tolerance and forbearance in relation to our fellow citizens, the law must march step-by-step with that progress.” （[2020] UKSC 10, [144]）
“Indifference, self-centeredness, division and forgetfulness are not words we want to hear at this time.” Pope Francis - 2020 Easter Sunday
May the Risen Lord heal the world, grant us courage and faith to overcome this pandemic, peace to people of all good wills. Amen!

美国疫情##全球疫情# 新冠疫情检视政客们的嘴脸
［Politico］纽约〜纽约市市长比尔·德布拉西奥（Bill de Blasio）周六宣布了一项计划，作为他阻止新冠疫情扩散的措施，将保持全美最大的公立学校系统在整个学年期间都处于停课状态。
这一决定影响数百万纽约人生活的决定成为德布拉西奥与纽约州州长安德鲁·库莫（Andrew Cuomo）之间的又一次政治争执，后者仅在数小时后就踩了市长的讲话。
德布拉西奥说，在周五晚上与国家过敏和传染病研究所所长安东尼·福奇博士交谈后，发出了不为该市110万名学生重新开放学校的呼吁。
“上帝知道必须告诉您，在本学年的剩余时间里我们不能让我们的学生重返学校，这很痛苦，但是我也可以告诉您，这是正确的做法。显然，这将有助于我们挽救生命，”德布拉西奥在市政厅的每日电视新闻发布会宣称。
但是两个小时后，如同往常一样，拥有紧急权力的库莫（Cuomo）使得他自己能够取代地方政府的权力，他说这不是市长事。
他在奥尔巴尼的发布会对记者说：“学校的事还没有决定。”
NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced plans Saturday to keep the nation's largest public school system shuttered through the academic year as he embraces increasingly aggressive measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
A decision affecting the lives of millions of New Yorkers became another political feud between de Blasio and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who stepped on the mayor's message only hours later.
De Blasio said the call to not to reopen schools for the city's 1.1 million students was made following a Friday evening conversation with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“Lord knows having to tell you that we cannot bring our schools back for the remainder of this school year is painful, but I can also tell you it’s the right thing to do. It clearly will help us save lives,” de Blasio declared from his daily televised briefing in City Hall.
But two hours later, like clockwork, Cuomo, whose emergency powers allow him to supersede those of local authorities, said it’s not the mayor’s call.
“There has been no decision on schools,” he told reporters during his own briefing in Albany.
