The call for an investigation infuriated Beijing, which has rejected criticism of its initial response to the coronavirus. The move, indicative of Australia’s willingness to confront China, has shaken up global diplomacy. Middle-power countries in Europe and Asia have forged new bonds based on what they have learned from the pandemic: that the risks of China’s authoritarian government can no longer be denied, and that the U.S. cannot be relied on to lead. “For the rules-based international order to mean anything, it needs to be upheld,” said one Australian lawmaker. “If the world doesn’t respond and act now, when will it ever act?” The middle-power alliances might be short-lived, but they could also offer an alternative to the dynamic between the world’s two superpowers.

Lowering the coffin of an Orthodox deacon into a grave in Moscow on Saturday. The city has been undercounting deaths from the coronavirus. Evgenia Novozhenina/Reuters Underreporting the virus toll in Russia Russia’s government has boasted of a low coronavirus mortality rate, confounding researchers who compared it to other countries with underfunded health systems. But new data released by Moscow’s city government on Friday shows that the number of registered deaths there in April [exceeded the five-year average for the same period](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnEIkP0T7aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMS93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvY29yb25hdmlydXMtZGVhdGhzLW1vc2Nvdy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJBRV9wXzIwMjAwNTExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE4Mzk2Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3Mmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0yNzMxMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACAkvble9kF6SlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) by more than 1,700. It calls into question the official Covid-19 death count of 642. The numbers contrast sharply with the Kremlin’s line. President Vladimir Putin ordered the end of a nationwide “non-working period” on Monday, claiming success in slowing the spread of the virus. Scope: A similar picture of possible underreporting has appeared in Belarus, whose leader has rejected calls for a lockdown, and in Mexico, where officials have recorded three times as many deaths in the capital as the government has acknowledged. If you have some time, this is worth it Human endurance and the Silk Road Getty Images Over the course of the Silk Road’s centuries of history, humanity faced some of the worst illnesses, from plagues to cholera. Still, the road continued.

Above, an undated view of Tbilisi. “Let us find some comfort,” writes Hanya Yanagihara, T’s editor in chief, “in the knowledge that we are preceded by centuries of human endurance, those travelers who remind us that every journey, no matter how difficult, ends with our finding our way back.” Find the [stories from the issue here](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgnEIkP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wNS8xMS90LW1hZ2F6aW5lL3RoZS1zaWxrLXJvYWQuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X01CQUVfcF8yMDIwMDUxMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xODM5NiZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VjdGlvbj1sb25nUmVhZCZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTI3MzExJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAICS9uV72QXpKUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).

Corinne: Hi, Francesca. We’re now — let me check my notes here — about seven and a half years into home quarantine. How are you doing? Francesca: Well, technically fine. But it’s been well over a month since my kids stopped going to school and I stopped going to the office, and we officially stopped seeing people other than a grocery worker here or there. Not to point out the obvious, but it starts to wear you down. You? Corinne: Same. On good days, I remember to be grateful that my family is healthy, and we have a safe place to stay. But I still liked it better back when I had all that stuff and I could go wherever I wanted. Eric Baradat/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Francesca: You can see people starting to unravel.

And being under this pressure makes us — women and men — do and say things that, well, we might not normally do. Parents shouting at kids. Adults shouting at each other. One friend of mine said she threw her husband’s clothes out of the window because he left them on the floor. She said it was extremely cathartic. Corinne: Oh my God. I think I just snorted my coffee through my nose. Francesca: Corinne, is there anything you do to manage your stress? Corinne: I leave my house. On foot. Once a day. It doesn’t really matter where I go. I walk or run, I feel air on my skin, I take a break from doing and just be. You? Francesca: Hikes with my family. Every day. Rain or shine.
