Of all the foods that have to be destroyed because they are infected with coronavirus, our sense of sadness is at its peak because it s ice cream.
Most of the 29,000 cartons of the ice cream produced in eastern China had not been sold, but authorities were forced to issue a recall on about 390 cartons of the product manufactured by Daqiaodao Food Co., Ltd. in Tianjin, which is adjacent to Beijing.

A decade later, Tunisia enjoys relative security and freedom, but every other country scorched by the Arab Spring’s fires have suffered instability, war or haven’t really changed much at all. And as successive revolutions failed to reward Arabs with democracy or prosperity, the years of turmoil turned out to be a massive boon to the very autocrats they were meant to depose.
