Yes airlines are important yes Small Business is important so of police and fire and Health Care Workers who are the front line workers and when you dont fund the state then the state cant fund those services fictional sense to me whats more new yorks economy is the 3rd largest in the u.

Well with many countries facing lockdown restrictions the pandemic is forcing some muslims to change the way they mock ramadan. As a reporter. For hundreds of years muslims used to go out into empty fields looking at the sky to figure out when the down begins these days their clerics here in pakistan and elsewhere use telescopes to get 1st sight of the new moon once spotted ramadan starts. Its the holiest month in the calendar when muslims stop eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset. The fasting allows worshippers to devote themselves to their fate and remember the sufferings of the poor. But during the unprecedented coronavirus emergency muslims are abandoning many of providence traditions and rituals. They wont be able to invite their loved ones the neighbors or the 4 to join the evening Fast Breaking meal known as if tara as covert 900 spreads restrictions are being forced governments have closed borders imposed curfew years lockdowns and encouraged social distancing to contain the contagion islams holiest site in mecca is usually teeming with worshippers from all over the world during ramadan its closed this year as part of the sunday governments campaign to curb the virus spread getting people everywhere to observe social distancing in one more than wont be easy. The highlight of ramadan is the night of destiny where muslims believe their holy book the koran was 1st revealed to the prophet mohammad and where the gates of heaven are open muslims spend the night in contempt lation and prayers in mosques a ritual they are being asked to perform at home this time islams most sacred month meant to encourage unity praying together and breaking their fast together may end up being a month of relative solitude.
