SOUTH AFRICA — After comparatively low rates of COVID-19 infection throughout most of 2020, Southern Africa experienced dramatically increased caseloads in the wake of the holiday season.
In Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection more than doubled during January 2021. The spike in infections appears to have been driven in part by increased social interaction over the holidays and also by the emergence of a new, more contagious, coronavirus variant, 501Y.V2, first identified in South Africa in November. The 501Y.V2 strain was also isolated in Mozambique and Zambia in late 2020 and is assumed to be circulating in Zimbabwe, where three government ministers have succumbed to COVID-19. ....

by Emily Enders Odom | Presbyterian News Service
LOUISVILLE — As yet another Christmas has come and gone — and, along with it, the Magi from the East bearing their unique gifts — the spirit of giving that so characterizes this holy season lives on in these ever-lengthening days through the continued generosity of faithful Presbyterians.
Looking back on a year in which charitable giving was expected to drop precipitously, the improbable increase experienced by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on #GivingTuesday 2020 was nothing short of a Christmas miracle, surpassing all expectations and previous records.
As reported by the Presbyterian News Service on Dec. 10, 2020, the PC(USA)’s #GivingTuesday campaign yielded gifts totaling just over $150,000 as of that date, with a final number promised in the New Year as gifts were continuing to come in. ....
