It comes a week after the European Commission said it planned to raise 750 billion euros for pandemic recovery by selling bonds backed by all 27 members of the European Union. The speedy response is a surprise after the infighting during the eurozone debt crisis that began in 2010, where the euro avoided collapse only because the European Central Bank stepped in. Context: The European Central Bank’s staff economists forecast on Thursday that the eurozone economy would slump by 9 percent this year, with a deeper slump possible. “It looks as if Europe finally got the message,” said a chief eurozone economist for ING Bank.

The public display of anger and grief took on greater meaning this year as Beijing has encroached on Hong Kong’s liberties with a new national security law.

And now for the Back Story on … Hugging during a pandemic Tara Parker-Pope, our Well columnist, has heard from readers who are anguished about not being able to visit and touch family members. It’s particularly painful for grandparents, who often live alone. So, she wrote [a guide to safer hugging](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgvFbuP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMDYvMDQvd2VsbC9mYW1pbHkvY29yb25hdmlydXMtcGFuZGVtaWMtaHVnLW1hc2suaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDIwMDYwNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xOTEwOCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VjdGlvbj1iYWNrU3Rvcnkmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0zMDEzMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACPu0dlemh2Bd1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Here’s an excerpt. Not only do we miss hugs, we need them. Physical affection reduces stress by calming our sympathetic nervous system, which during times of worry releases damaging stress hormones into our bodies. In one series of studies, just holding hands with a loved one reduced the distress of an electric shock. If you need a hug, take precautions. Wear a mask. Hug outdoors. Try to avoid touching the other person’s body or clothes with your face and your mask. Don’t hug someone who is coughing or has other symptoms. Eleni Kalorkoti Point your faces in opposite directions — the position of your face matters most. Don’t talk or cough while you’re hugging. Approach each other and briefly embrace. When you are done, don’t linger. Back away quickly so you don’t breathe into each other’s faces. Wash your hands afterward. Do let children hug you around the knees or waist. And for grandparents, kissing a grandchild on the back of the head is a good idea. While some of the precautions may sound like a lot of effort for a simple hug, people need options given that the pandemic will be with us for a while. In general, we should still limit our hugs. As one scientist said, “I would take the Marie Kondo approach — the hug has to spark joy.” That’s it for this briefing.
