April 16, 2021
Look what 39 years of prison have done to Mumia Abu Jamal! The first photo, of a healthy and handsome Mumia, was taken while he was still on death row. The second shows him in 2012, shortly after his release to general population, and in the third, we see the steep decline in his health in the nine years since then. Medical neglect is a torturer and a killer.

COVID-19 cases in Pennsylvania rise as schools and businesses reopen
After six weeks of declining COVID-19 infections and two weeks of new infections remaining the same, Pennsylvania is beginning to see the early signs of another wave of cases. The seven-day moving average has risen to over 5,000 cases per day, doubling in the past three weeks. Deaths remain relatively low for now, but hospitalizations have also risen by 11 percent to nearly 2,300.
Throughout the state, over one million people have been infected with COVID and over 25,243 people have died. The vaccine rollout has been one of the weakest in the nation, with just 16 percent of the population fully vaccinated. The rapid rise in infections is an indication of the spread of more contagious variants of COVID and the disastrous character of the policy of reopening schools and other businesses.
