The United States, Brazil, and Mexico have been among the countries hardest hit by the pandemic. The various types of human coronavirus The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the seventh known coronavirus to infect humans; its emergence makes it the third in recent years to cause widespread infectious disease, following the viruses responsible for SARS and MERS. Common human coronaviruses typically cause mild symptoms such as a cough or a cold, but the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to more severe respiratory illnesses and deaths worldwide. Is there a cure for this new coronavirus? There are currently no dedicated treatments for COVID-19. While clinical studies take place to develop new drugs, pharmaceutical companies and research groups are experimenting to see if older ones can be repurposed. During the SARS and MERS outbreaks, work began on investigational vaccines, and this information is proving valuable in the race to find a treatment for COVID-19. The basic biology of the virus is well understood, making it possible to decide which current drugs have a chance of success.

Results of key votes on Brexit in the UK House of Commons in 2020
On September 14, 2020 the United Kingdom's House of Commons voted in favor of the 'UK internal market bill' by 340 votes to 263. The relatively banal name of the bill hides its potential to be political dynamite, with its implicit purpose being to undermine a key article of the withdrawal agreement regarding Northern Ireland. As the withdrawal agreement was backed by the House of Commons on December 20, 2019, and ratified on February 1, 2020, any reneging on the UK's part would see the country breaking international law. Parliament rejects May's deal three times Although the United Kingdom was set to leave the European Union on March 29, 2019, Members of Parliament rejected Theresa May's negotiated deal on January 15 and the amended deal on March 12, they then voted to reject no deal on March 13, and finally to request the EU for a delay on March 14. After receiving an extension until October 31, 2019, Theresa May attempted to get her deal accepted a third time, but this too was rejected, albeit by a smaller margin. Johnson inherits Brexit Theresa May resigned as a result of her inability to get her deal through parliament. Boris Johnson emerged as her successor following a Conservative leadership contest, which saw him see off several rivals. After Johnson has assumed power, Brexit entered a new and chaotic phase which saw him lose his government majority as well as almost all his votes in the House of Commons. The general election held in December 2019, saw Johnson win a significant majority in parliament however, and move on from the chaos that characterized his first weeks in office.
